## Details

## Why Stay at Serengeti Under Canvas?

Serengeti Under Canvas is andBeyond's mobile luxury camp, relocating five times a year so its guests stay within reach of the Great Migration wherever the herds happen to be. Two independent campsites of just nine tents each keep the experience ultra-exclusive, while private butlers, gourmet silver-service dining and bucket showers under the stars deliver five-star polish with no permanent structures at all.

## Where Is Serengeti Under Canvas & What Wildlife Can You See?

The camp's seasonal circuit tracks the migration through Serengeti National Park: the southern Ndutu plains for the December-to-March calving season, the Grumeti area for the western river crossings around May and June, and the far north near Kogatende for the dramatic Mara River crossings of July to October. Guests fly from Arusha or Kilimanjaro to whichever seasonal airstrip — Seronera, Ndutu, Grumeti or Kogatende — serves the current site, with 4x4 transfers meeting every flight.

## Rooms & Style

Eighteen luxury safari tents in total, split across the two camps, feature king or twin beds, en-suite bathrooms with flush toilets and hot bucket showers, and private outdoor sitting areas. Interconnecting family tents accommodate small groups without compromising the unfenced, immersive character of the camp.

## Who Is It Ideal For?

- Migration purists who want the herds outside the tent
- Honeymooners seeking privacy and butler service
- Seasoned safari-goers ready for authentic mobile camping
- Photographers positioning for river crossings and calving

## Frequently asked questions

### What is Serengeti Under Canvas and how does it work?
Serengeti Under Canvas is andBeyond's mobile luxury camp, which relocates five times a year so guests stay within reach of the Great Migration wherever the herds happen to be in Serengeti National Park. There are no permanent structures at all, yet the experience is five-star: private butlers, gourmet silver-service dining and hot bucket showers under the stars, spread across two ultra-exclusive independent campsites.

### Where is Serengeti Under Canvas located during migration season?

In November, the camp follows the herds back south through the central Seronera valleys.

### How many tents does Serengeti Under Canvas have?

Tents feature king or twin beds, en-suite bathrooms and private outdoor sitting areas, while interconnecting Family Tents accommodate small groups without compromising the unfenced, immersive character of the camp.

### What are the bathrooms like at Serengeti Under Canvas?
Each tent has an en-suite bathroom with a flush toilet and a hot bucket shower — the classic mobile-camp arrangement, elevated with five-star polish and private butler service. Because the camp moves five times a year with no permanent structures, bucket showers under the stars are part of the authentic experience, best suited to honeymooners and seasoned safari-goers ready for genuine mobile camping.

### How do you get to Serengeti Under Canvas?
Most guests fly from Arusha Airport or Kilimanjaro International Airport, with flights of 1 to 1.5 hours landing at whichever seasonal Serengeti airstrip — Seronera, Ndutu, Grumeti or Kogatende — serves the camp's current location; complimentary 4x4 transfers meet every flight. Road travel from Arusha is possible but is a rugged 8 to 10-hour overland journey, so fly-in itineraries are highly recommended for comfort and timing.
