Fodor's Expert Review Serengeti Under Canvas

This mobile camp, in the southern part of the Serengeti, follows the migration (usually in March) from an acacia-covered bluff that overlooks a small river. The camp stays put for a couple of months at a time and then moves northward with the herds. Comfortable walk-in tents (Tanzania's largest mobile tents) with chandeliers that tinkle in the breeze have en suite bucket showers; copper washbasins; a flush toilet; deep, comfortable beds with crisp linen and fluffy mohair blankets; Indian rugs; a dawn chorus of joyous birdsong; and an evening serenade of whooping hyenas with backup vocals by softly calling lions. It's certainly not cheap but it's a delightful way to experience the migrations and the wonders of the Serengeti.
