&Beyond Serengeti Under Canvas

Central to the nine tents is a communal lounge and well-stocked bar tent and a separate dining tent in which to relax with a drink and eat to your hearts's content (meals are also served under the stars). The food is good and tasty, the service levels are very high. Breakfasts are especially popular, whether taken in the dining tent or in the bush.

The camp consists of nine luxury tents that are reputed to be Tanzania's largest safari tents. Each is certainly spacious, with a warm and inviting double bed, comfy seating, lovely Indian rugs, en-suite bathroom, separate toilet and outside bucket shower. Each tent has its own butler, who escorts you safely to and from your accommodation, provides room service and prepares the hot water for your shower. Power is available.

Game drives that follow the Great Migration – that cliched sighting of wildebeest crossing the Mara River is far, far more thrilling than you could imagine. However, when the bulk of the animals have moved on from this area there is still plenty of resident game to see. The birdlife is spectacular too. Vultures, vultures everywhere! In the evenings, there's nothing like settling back with a long G&T to reminisce about the day's sightings and marvel at the vividly setting sun.
