Serengeti Under Canvas
The locations of these migratory camps are carefully plotted to coincide with the documented movements of the annual Great Migration as it traverses the Serengeti plains. Having secured some of the Serengeti’s best semi-permanent campsites, we are able to bring our Serengeti Under Canvas guests as close as possible to the migration or resident game. These campsites are all prebooked for &Beyond’s use, allowing us tremendous flexibility in moving our camps according to the expected migration movements. |

 I have never seen this before. We watched a lion hunting. We then heard a funny noise coming from a rock nearby. W took a look and found a pair of hyraxes mating on the rock. It took a while to finish and we all laughed, forgetting about the lions with their cubs. It was fun!

 One more time the white vulture has been sighted in the northern Serengeti feeding on a zebra carcass. I have been observing this amazing white vulture since last year in the southern plains. The bird is amazingly white and is very strong and big compared to regular a lappet face vulture.

While watching the wildebeest crossing the Mara River, we saw a herd of about 12 elephant with calfs approaching the river. It took 34 minutes of waiting for the wildebeest to finish crossing the river. The water level increased suddenly as the elephants crossed. They tried to walk back, but the big mama did not let them do that. They stopped for a...

 A resident lion pride on the Moru kopjes (koppies) afforded us many hours of pleasure.

 Heading back to camp, our driver, PAUL (Camp Two) spotted a young black mamba crossing the road. This was unbelievable because I had a client who had been trying to see one for almost four years now. He was ecstatic. And to top it off, I also saw a Caracal the same evening, although too late for a photo. What an incredible day with our drivers Paul and...

 A 20 minutes shower by the pull with this Elephant highlighted my day out in the wilderness. I watched him walk majestically down as the scorching sun burnt into skin, flapping ears in excitement as it so the pull of water, he spent 10 minutes sipping through his trunk up to 8 litres in every single sip. He did this nine times before starting to pour the...

 10 days after arriving at our new site for the Serengeti under canvas we were anxious to welcome the great migration. This morning as I was preparing to check out guest, guess what? The endless line of wildebeest led by one determined to go crossed just a few meters in front of the dining area. It has been a whole day of long welcome and still I can see...

 Almost always its about a pride pulling efforts together but this evening I was mesmerized to watch this spectacular kill by just a single lioness, it took her about 20 minutes to decide on that particular wildebeest out of about 30 thousand that were crossing on Moru swamp, she stalked and in a lightning speed she struck forward to clamper on the...

 While on drive, I noticed a dead tree with the beautiful Fischer's Lovebirds in it and stopped to take a photograph. I then realized that it was an adult feeding its youngster. We watched it feeding for about 5 minutes. Its often the small things that are amazing to see.
