Had a fantastic time at Serengeti Under Canvas! The camp is literally in the middle of the migration, which means you have amazing game drives, and we could hear the nearby pride of lions every night. The staff bends over backwards to make you comfortable, the guides are awesome, fun, and so intelligent, and the cook was superb! Cozy cocktails... More

We booked a two week visit to Rwanda and Tanzania through And Beyond. The portions of the trip that were solely run by And Beyond (meaning their lodges, guides, transportation, etc) were seamless. However, the portion of the trip that required And Beyond to contract out (Nairobi, Kigali, Virguna mountain tro see the mountain gorillas and golden monkeys, Arusha) was... More

An excellent start to a week of being cared for by AndBeyond in northern Tanzania. After an epic 27 hour long journey to get here, we were pleasantly surprised by the outstanding service we received from Mauran, our butler and the rest of the camp staff for the three nights of our stay. Wildlife was everything we hoped and wanted... More

Spent 3 nights during the Great Migration at the Ndutu Serengeti under Canvas camp and it was spectacular, Guides are knowledgeable and accommodating, food and tents are first class and seeing the great migration, as well as the many other animals is an awe-inspiring experience. The only downside is sometimes guests share a vehicle with others, which is especially problematic... More

The camp is totally tented and moves five times a year to keep following the Great Migration. The location of Camp 2, under trees near the river flowing out of big swamp and small swamp, is... More

We stayed four nights in the Serengeti Under Canvas, Ndutu Camp. Our primary goal for this or any safari is to see the wildlife, but we also want an adventure and to experience something a bit different. We got everything with this holiday and in abundance. The reason for our trip was to see the Great Migration arrive on the... More

This is the 3rd &beyond property we have stayed at in the last 13 days. What I love the best is the peace & tranquility of the camp. The tents are very spacious & beautifully set out, I love the bush shower & the flush toilet in our tent. Our personal butler James is amazing & nothing is too much... More

They have a great reputation and their service lived up to it. Our butler, Alex, was quick to prepare a shower and quick to offer a drink (we loved Amarula and Afrikoko liqueurs). Their chef was great.... we especially liked his soup recipes. They varied our eating arrangements to sometimes be at single tables on the lawn to sometimes having... More

Many years ago, I swore that I would never sleep in a tent again. But then came Serengeti Under Canvas. A Six Star Tent ?!?! Many people are afraid of the wild animals, the insects etc... Suck it up - it is worth every minute !!! Very Safe; outstanding food; stakk, etc..
