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.
Special offer: Stay for 6 nights at any andBeyond Tanzanian or Kenyan lodges and your flights are included (internal). Honeymoon offer: Save 50% on one partners accommodation. These offers are valid between 11 January 2025 - 10 January 2026. Terms and conditions apply.

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."

holiday to Serengeti Under Canvas
Overall Serengeti Under Canvas left us wanting a bit more out of the camp from a hospitality and cuisine point of view. The accommodation was very nice, clean and welcoming. Our issues here (which we talked about on our last full day with the camp manager, Mo), was that the food service was extreme…
