5 Nights · Riverside Contemporary Luxury + a Tented Camp That Follows the Migration
Contemporary design · Mobile tents · Fully inclusive
One trip, two completely different kinds of wild-luxury: Grumeti River Lodge is a contemporary-design flagship on the river — woven domed ceilings, open decks, hippos wallowing right below; Serengeti Under Canvas is a mobile tented camp that follows the migration — lanterns, Persian rugs, old-world explorer glamour, relocating five times a year to stay closest to the herds. One is “staying superbly well,” the other is “staying inside the migration.”
Is it right for you?
Guests who want to experience top-tier brands at better value; those who want both a classic explorer tent and a contemporary-design flagship in one trip; keen travellers who want to be as close to the herds as possible; honeymoons, anniversaries and families.
Guests who can’t accept a mobile tented camp (Under Canvas is a mobile tented camp — en-suite bathroom and flush toilet, but less comfort than a permanent camp).
For them, we have better alternatives — just ask your consultant.
What a stay looks like
andBeyond Grumeti River Lodge
A contemporary-design flagship on the river, turning African craft into architecture.
andBeyond Serengeti Under Canvas
This camp isn’t fixed. It relocates five times a year, always pitched closest to the herds — the month you come decides which end of the Serengeti you sleep in.
When to come: two seasons, two kinds of spectacle
This pairing has two golden windows a year — and they show you completely different things:
Under Canvas pitches in the southern Ndutu.
Hundreds of thousands of wildebeest calves are born on the southern short-grass plains, drawing in lion, leopard and cheetah alike — life and death in one frame, the most dramatic scene of the year.
Your nights at Grumeti River Lodge.
The western corridor’s resident wildlife plus hippos, crocodiles and elephants — quiet, uncrowded, a different rhythm from the calving grounds.
Under Canvas moves north with the migration.
From June to mid-July the camp sits in the western Grumeti, facing the Grumeti River crossings; after mid-July it moves to Kogatende in the north for the famous Mara River crossings. Come in a different month and you see a different river.
Your nights at Grumeti River Lodge.
Around June the herds are walking the western corridor, almost at the door; after July they head north and the lodge shifts to resident wildlife and quiet, private game viewing.
About camp location: Under Canvas’s pitches are planned in advance around the migration and adjusted slightly each year; the camp does not move during your stay. Exact location is per that year’s arrangements.
