Serengeti Under Canvas | Serengeti, Tanzania



Your journey continues into the legendary Serengeti, timed perfectly to coincide with the awe-inspiring Great Wildebeest Migration. Each year, more than a million wildebeest, accompanied by zebra and gazelle, move across the plains in search of fresh grazing brought by the seasonal rains. Along the way, the herds face dramatic river crossings, powerful currents, and stealthy crocodiles, while predators such as lions patrol the open grasslands.
For the next three nights, you will stay at Serengeti Under Canvas, a mobile tented camp that relocates with the Migration to ensure optimal wildlife viewing. Combining the comfort of a permanent lodge with the thrill of being in the heart of the action, the camp offers an unforgettable safari experience. Daily morning and afternoon game drives are complemented by night drives, guided nature walks, and the option of a hot-air balloon safari, allowing you to witness the world’s largest land-based wildlife movement from every angle.
