Mara Under Camvas

Mara Under Camvas

Mara Under Canvas is a seasonal luxury tented safari camp in the Northern Serengeti, Tanzania, positioned close to the Mara River and the wildlife-rich plains of the northern migration route. Designed for travellers who want to experience the wilderness up close, the camp combines the atmosphere of an authentic mobile safari with comfortable accommodation and attentive hospitality. The camp has ten double or twin safari tents and a family tent, creating an intimate setting for couples, families and small groups. Each tent is furnished with comfortable beds, mosquito nets and an en-suite bathroom with a flushing toilet, washbasin and traditional bucket shower. A private veranda offers a place to sit, take in the surrounding savannah and enjoy the sights and sounds of the African bush. The communal dining tent provides a welcoming setting for freshly prepared meals, while the separate lounge tent offers space to relax between game drives. Solar lighting supports the camp’s eco-conscious approach, and guests have access to Wi-Fi and battery-charging facilities. Evenings can be spent around the campfire, sharing stories from the day beneath the Serengeti sky. Mara Under Canvas is particularly appealing during the Great Wildebeest Migration season in Northern Serengeti. From around July to October, migrating wildebeest and zebras may gather near the Mara River, where dramatic crossings can occur. The timing of these events depends on natural conditions, so river crossings and specific wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed. Guided game drives explore the surrounding plains and river areas, where guests may encounter wildebeest, zebras, elephants, giraffes, lions, leopards and other wildlife. Depending on availability, travellers may also arrange a hot-air balloon safari or a private sundowner experience at an additional cost. The camp generally operates from June to November, following seasonal wildlife movements. Its exact location and operating dates should be confirmed for your travel period, as mobile camps may adjust their positioning to remain close to wildlife activity. For travellers seeking an intimate luxury camping experience in Northern Serengeti, Mara Under Canvas offers a memorable combination of wilderness, comfort and access to one of Tanzania’s most celebrated migration regions. It can be incorporated into a tailor-made safari with Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and other Northern Tanzania destinations.
