Mara Under Canvas
About Mara Under Canvas
Mara Under Canvas offers an authentic, mobile safari experience in the Northern Serengeti, designed to follow the seasonal migration of wildebeest and zebra. The camp is completely temporary, allowing it to move across the landscape to keep pace with the herds. Accommodation is provided in high-quality, spacious canvas tents that bring the sights and sounds of the wilderness directly to the guest. By minimizing the built environment, the camp allows for a profound connection with the ecosystem. It is an excellent choice for wildlife enthusiasts who wish to witness river crossings and the dramatic events of the migration, providing a stripped-back, focused environment that centers entirely on the natural spectacle taking place in the surrounding savannah.
Why we like it
Being mobile allows this camp to provide a front-row seat to the migration, often putting guests right in the path of the action.
