Best Things to Do at &Beyond Serengeti Under Canvas
A stay at &Beyond Serengeti Under Canvas is about experiencing the Serengeti from within its natural rhythm.
The camp provides a base for game drives, wildlife viewing and memorable moments in the wilderness, while the mobile setting adds a distinctly intimate quality to the safari.
1. Go on Serengeti Game Drives
Game drives are the defining experience.
Explore the surrounding wilderness with an experienced safari guide, looking for predators, elephants, giraffes, buffalo and the many other species that inhabit the Serengeti.
Every drive is different because wildlife determines the rhythm of the day.
2. Experience the Great Migration
If your travel dates coincide with the seasonal movement of the herds, the Great Migration can become a central part of your safari.
The movement is dynamic, so the exact wildlife experience varies by season, location and natural conditions.
3. Enjoy a Classic Tented Safari
Sleeping beneath canvas creates an immediate connection with the wilderness.
There is something distinctly African about returning to camp after a game drive, hearing the evening sounds of the bush and settling into a beautifully prepared tent.
4. Enjoy a Bush Dining Experience
Depending on the camp’s current arrangements, meals can be incorporated into outdoor settings that allow you to experience the Serengeti from a different perspective.
Sunrise breakfasts and carefully planned bush meals can turn dining into part of the adventure.
5. Watch the Serengeti at Sunset
Few safari moments require any elaborate planning.
Find a beautiful viewpoint, watch the light move across the plains and allow the landscape to become the evening’s entertainment.
6. Spend Time Around the Campfire
Evenings around the campfire bring together the simple pleasures of safari travel.
Share stories from the day’s game drives, listen to the sounds of the wilderness and enjoy the unhurried atmosphere of camp.
7. Explore the Serengeti With a Private Safari Design
For travellers seeking greater flexibility, Beaumont Tours can design the wider safari around your interests, preferred pace and accommodation choices.
This can include additional nights in the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire or a Zanzibar beach extension.
8. Combine Under Canvas With a Luxury Lodge
For a journey with contrasting accommodation experiences, combine Serengeti Under Canvas with a permanent luxury property.
Singita Sasakwa Lodge offers a completely different style of luxury in the Grumeti Reserve, while &Beyond Ngorongoro Crater Lodge adds a dramatic crater setting.
