Serengeti Under Canvas
Serengeti Under Canvas offers a classic mobile safari in the Serengeti National Park. The camp is moved 5 times a year in order that it is strategically placed to achieve close proximity to the herds of animals that join in the wonder of the Great Migration. With only the canvas of your tent separating you from the African wilds the closeness to nature Serengeti Under Canvas offers is invigorating.
There is also a great dimension of exclusivity to the Under Canvas experience with only 9 tents in private campsites. Featuring en-suite bathrooms and outdoor bucket showers, the tents also possess such sophisticated decor as chandeliers and Persian rugs. Serengeti Under Canvas provides you the luxury of skilled guides who inform your safari experience with their expert knowledge. To add a spark of romance, the camps provide delicious cooked meals, which can be enjoyed outside under a celling of stars.

Family holiday to Tanzania
We absolutely loved this trip. The lodges were all fantastic and well located and our guide with Predators Safari Club always made us feel safe, cared-for and welcome. The experience of being on safari with so few other travelers was a once in a lifetime experience.
