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 ceiling of stars.

INSIDER TIP
"This is the ultimate digital detox. Enjoy evening drinks around the campfire, dine under the stars and fall asleep to lions roaring and the peace of the African bushveld, removed from the chaos of the world."

Staff were lovely and we really appreciated our butler lugging water to our tent for hot showers in the morning and evening. Tents were looking a little tired and I understand that when the camp packed up a couple of days after we left, they would be made available for staff accommodation and used…
