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.

THE LAST TO SURVIVE!

We couldn’t believe this! For a wildebeest to get away from a such big a aquatic predator of about five meters long, a Nile crocodile of the Mara river in the north of popular Serengeti National Park, is quite something to see.

This wildebeest was picked out by the crocodile from within thousands of wildebeest on their way back home to the Serengeti from Kenya's Masai Mara National Reserve. It took almost fifteen minutes for this wildebeest to get away from his big enemy. Both were pulling against each other. The crocodile was trying to pull this wildebeest into deep water but it couldn’t manage to as the wildebeest was pulling himself into shallow water where it could touch the ground and walk properly.

It was amazing! The wildebeest jumped very high and got away from the crocodile, and the poor crocodile remained with only a little piece of skin as a starter before blind main Manu.
