Serengeti Under Canvas Activities

Game Drives (Included)

At andBeyond Serengeti Under Canvas, game drives are tailored to suit your preference, with a choice between shorter, twice-daily drives or one long all-day game drive with a stop for a picnic lunch. The annual movements of the camps are carefully planned to anticipate the progress of the Great Migration, so you should not have to travel too far to see the vast herds. However; if the Migration has moved off or the dramatic river crossings are in progress, you may choose to spend more time on the vehicle in order to maximize your chances of seeing this incredible phenomenon.

When the Migration herds are not within easy reach, the camps remain in some of the most remote and beautiful corners of the Serengeti. With game drives setting off in search of the exceptional resident game. This will allow for some magnificent, private game viewing compared to the migration months. As you may be spending most of the day on the move, safari vehicles are closed. They have roll down canvas windows and pop-top roofs. Game drives are conducted in the Serengeti National Park so off road and night drives are not permitted.
