"Tanzania under Canvas" Mobile Camps

Highly Recommended

This is Serengeti in style - a chance to partake in a classic Tanzanian safari as it would have been experienced in the 1920's.  The camps, featuring huge tents with full ensuite facilities, outdoor bucket showers and separate w.c.'s, are totally mobile and are carefully plotted to coincide with the documented movements of the annual Great Migration as it traverses the Serengeti plains.

The luxury semi permanent tented camps feature some of Tanzania's largest and most spacious mobile tents, each with double bed, ensuite bathroom, separate w.c., and romantic al fresco bucket shower (hot water delivered upon request). With a hint of Bedouin character, these tents are supplied with custom made Indian rugs, crisp linens, sparkling crystal, and polished brass samovars and basins.  The camps also have a private butler service, a spacious guest area tent with a choice of board and card games, and delicious Pan African meals and traditional bush dinners. Each camp has its own expert guides, as well as two fully-equipped safari vehicles complete with onboard safe and charge points for digital cameras and equipment. This is the soul of Africa - no mains electricity and no running water. The simplicity of luxury camping and the relaxing solitude of the mighty Serengeti offers guests a safari of the soul.

The camps occupy some of the Serengeti's best semi-permanent campsites, and bring guests as close as possible to the migration or resident game. The campsites are all prebooked for exclusive use and, as the massive herds move relatively slowly,  the camps have good warning to be set up in the best possible locations. The aim is to position the camps within comfortable driving distance of the migration during daily safaris (early in the morning and again during the afternoon and early evening), or often for the full day. However, with nature being as unpredictable as it is, close proximity to the mass herds cannot always be guaranteed.
