About Ndutu Under Canvas Tented Camp

Surrender to the Serengeti and follow the Great Migration
Ndutu under canvas is a simple, charming little camp that invites adventure and excitement. It follows the Great Migration as the animals move from one section of the park to another in search of water and greener pastures. From December to March the camp is set up in the southern plains of the park, moving into the Western Corridor for June and July, and finally onto the Northern region of the National Park from August to November. Its movement ensures action-packed migration magic regardless of when you check in.

Property details

The property

No matter where it is set up in the Serengeti, Ndutu will immerse you in an authentic environment and submerge your senses in the sights, sounds and scents of Africa. The communal mess tent is comfortable, simple and intimate. It’s all about the pristine surroundings and feeling close to nature. Here, one of the best ways to unwind is to stare into the dancing flames of the campfire while breathing in the earthy evening air. Thereafter you can indulge in a private dinner under the stars or within the cosy mess tent.

The rooms

Ndutu Under Canvas has ten, spacious en-suite tents, each with more than enough room to breathe and move freely about. The strategic placement of the tents allows for uninterrupted views and the perfect amount of privacy. Simple, yet uncompromising on comfort, the camp is rustic in nature with wrought iron and wooden furniture, woven mats and neutral earthy tones. Each tent offers an escape from the heat of the day and comfort in the cool of the night without creating too much of a barrier between you and your wild surrounds.

Activities

The main activity at Ndutu, as with most camps in the Serengeti, is game drives. These are conducted by friendly and knowledgable guides, in traditional open-sided safari vehicles that maximise your viewing potential. Private picnics and sundowners can also be arranged. These take place in remote areas of the bush, creating an experience miles away from anything you have ever encountered before. In the Mara region, village visits add a rich cultural facet to the safari experience, with the opportunity to learn about and meet the local people.
