Serengeti National Park, Tanzania

Serengeti Under Canvas

Quite a fantastic option for those seeking an authentic bush experience while viewing the Great Wildebeest Migration. With only 6 luxury tents, each camp is intimate and exclusive.  — Mango's view

Experience a classic Tanzanian safari in spectacular solitude and soothing comfort - with only the canvas walls of your tent separating you from the wonder of the Serengeti.

Carefully positioned for close proximity to the wildlife herds of the Great Wildebeest Migration, the three Serengeti Under Canvas camps are situated at a variety of private campsites throughout the national park and move according to the path of the migratory herds. A comfortable drive brings guests into the midst of moving masses of wildebeest and zebra, ready to witness the natural drama as herds brave obstacles and predators to reach rich grasslands.

With only six tents nestled at each private campsite, enjoy the indulgence of complete comfort combined with the authenticity of nights spend in the African bush.

The solitary magnificence of the Serengeti is offset by the warm service and simple luxury of our comfortable tented accommodation. From the moment you awaken to the sound of the al fresco bucket shower in your en-suite bedroom being topped up with hot water your natural adventure has begun. Crisp linens and crystal chandeliers in your spacious tent lend of air of extravagance. The simplicity of camping, with no mains electricity and running water, is softened by convenient touches like a flush water closet, power outlets in the vehicles and a personal butler.

A dedicated sitting and dining tent provides deep sofas from which to contemplate the vastness and peace of the surrounding landscape. Custom made Indian rugs and polished brass samovars add a touch of elegance and romance. Relax under the dark velvet night sky and sample hearty cuisine served on sparkling crystal and silver that reflects the sparkling light of millions of shining stars. Cluster around a roaring campfire to share stories of the day's magic and listen to the African night come alive.

Activities include morning and afternoon wildlife drives to see the spectacle of the Great Migration in open 4x4 safari vehicles with a very well trained guide and driver. Guests can also choose to go on optional (extra cost) hot air balloon safaris as well.
