Mara Under Canvas

Be impressed by the natural beauty of Northern Serengeti

Mara Under Canvas is the closest camp to the river Mara where each year enormous columns of wildebeest cross the river, negotiating the jaws of the hungry crocodiles, in order to get to the pastures on the other side in what could be considered the climax of the Great Migration.

This luxury temporary camp is open from June to November. It allows visitors to be in the proximity of the Great Migration and to be able to explore remote areas and the beautiful settings of Seregenti with a large amount of resident fauna. The camp has only ten double tents and a family tent which assures the intimacy and exclusivity of this intense experience.

Accomodation

The tents are situated at ground level with a private porch. They overlook the savannah. Ample and comfortable. There is a choice of one double bed or two twin beds. The rooms have a bathroom with a bucket shower. The family tent consists of two interconnected tents and a shared bathroom and private porch.

Words and pictures won´t di this hotel justice

“Whatever I write and describe will not do this hotel justice. Sitting by the fire in the evening, talking with other guests and overlooking the serengeti plains and wilderbeest all around is something I will not forget in a hurry. At night, we could hear all the wildebeest around our tent mooing away and heard some Hyena’s as well. Would recommend everyone to stay here for an experience of a lifetime!”

In a beautiful landscape, enjoy an appetizer and cocktail at the end of the day.

Camp fire

One of the safari highlights is sitting around the camp fire, listening to the sounds of the wild, watching the sun go down and watching the never-ending sky.

Location & Surroundings

Situated in the Mara Triangle area, in the Serengeti National Park. It’s the closest camp to river Mara.

The mobile camp has two different locations during the year depending on the movements of the Migration, allowing guests to be close to the Migration.

From December to March the camp is situated on the south plains and is known as Masek Under Canvas, from June to July on the east corridor and August to November in the north offering guests the best possible experience of a traditional mobile safari camp. Nevertheless, the final location of the camp is determined by the movements of the Migration.
