andBeyond Serengeti Under Canvas

andBeyond Serengeti Under Canvas — Chandeliers and Silverware Follow the Migration

andBeyond Serengeti Under Canvas is the most formally luxurious mobile safari camp in the Serengeti. The 9-tent camp moves five times a year — more frequently than any other mobile camp in the ecosystem — to stay directly in the path of the Great Wildebeest Migration, covering the southern calving grounds (Ndutu), the central and western corridors, and the northern Mara River crossing area at Kogatende. The relentless repositioning means guests are never more than a short drive from the migration's current location.

What distinguishes andBeyond Serengeti Under Canvas from other mobile camps is its audacious commitment to luxury despite the mobile format. Each new camp location is set up with chandeliers hanging under canvas, polished silver and crystal at table, custom Indian rugs on tent floors, brass vintage wash basins, and a private butler assigned to every tent. Dinner is a formal affair served with an extensive wine list. It is classic camp theatre — the grandeur of a fixed lodge conjured in the middle of open Serengeti wherever the migration leads.

Accommodation

Nine canvas tents include eight standard tents and one family tent. Each has comfortable beds with quality linen and fluffy duvets, a hot bucket shower (heated by fire), a flush toilet, a brass vintage wash basin, custom rugs, and a private butler. Swarovski binoculars and a guides' wildlife journal are provided in every tent. WiFi is available in the tents. The communal area is a dining tent where chandeliers, silverware, crystal and candles create an improbable elegance in the middle of the bush. A campfire for evening gathering under the stars completes the setting.

Activities

Twice-daily game drives in open 4x4 vehicles are the core activity, led by andBeyond's expert guides who know the current camp location intimately. When the camp is in the Loliondo area outside the national park (one of the five seasonal positions), walking safaris and night drives are permitted — activities not available inside the Serengeti itself. Hot-air balloon safaris can be arranged when within range of launch sites near Seronera. Swarovski binoculars per room for the duration of the stay.

Who Is Serengeti Under Canvas Best For?
