Ndutu Under Canvas

Exclusive 10-tent mobile luxury camp between central and south Serengeti, positioned for front-row access to the Great Migration near Lake Ndutu.

The stay

Settle into Ndutu Under Canvas

Ndutu Under Canvas is a small, exclusive mobile camp of just ten tents plus a family tent, situated between the centre and south of the Serengeti in the heart of the December–March calving migration. The camp relocates to three different sites across the year to track the movements of the herds, giving guests intimate access to large numbers of resident wildlife alongside the wildebeest and zebra spectacle. Ground-level tents with private porches overlook the savannah, and the camp's northern and southern sections each have their own dining tent, lounge, and swimming pool. A guest review specifically recalls evenings by the campfire overlooking Lake Ndutu with lions passing close by the camp at night.
