Tanzania Under Canvas, Serengeti

Introduction

This is a migratory camp, and tent locations have been carefully plotted to coincide with the documented movements of the annual Great Migration as it traverses the Serengeti plains. The aim is to position the camps within easy driving distance of the migration on your daily game drives. Immense preparation and effort goes into moving the camp every two to three weeks in order to bring guests as close as possible to the migration. However, with nature being as unpredictable as it is, close proximity to the mass herds cannot always be guaranteed, as campsites do have to be booked well in advance.

Guests do not actually witness the physical transition of the camp it all happens seamlessly and magically behind the scenes. The camp is dismantled and reassembled in its new location, without the guests having to worry about a thing. Guests are conveniently flown to a nearby airstrip, where they are met and transferred (complimentary) directly to the newly assembled camp.

Location

The thrill of Tanzania Under Canvas can be experienced year round. The following is a general guideline for camp movements:

December to April southern Serengeti plains.

May and June central or western Serengeti plains

July to November northern and eastern Serengeti Plains

When the migration moves across the border into Kenya the Tanzania Under Canvas camp sites will be selected to coincide with great resident game locations. The Kleins Camp site affords guests not only the incredible experience of staying Under Canvas but also allows for walking safaris and night drives.

Guests are offered up-close accommodation for the duration of the Great Migration in the Serengeti.
