The staff at Under Canvas was very friendly but very relaxed about quality service. We have experienced several similar types of camps in Botswana, S. Africa and Serengeti and this was unfortunately our least favourite experience. The accommodation of the canvas tents were exceptional and a great experience. My favourite part of the trip was night time and listening to... more

what they do with this mobile camp is really amazing. they set up toilets in your tent, like permanent toilets in tents that they set up on a temporary basis. you are under the stars every night. the staff makes every effort to make you feel welcome and at home. the tents are beautiful, and the food is excellent. they... more

We went on a delayed honeymoon, and Africa was our dream destination. As part of our safari portion of the trip, we headed up to Serengeti Under Canvas (through & Beyond). We had an 11-hour driving day to get there from Lake Manyara (totally worth doing the drive, by the way - we saw everything on the way). So when... more

Pure heaven!

Who would think that you could camp like a princess? I've lived it. This review is a bit late, but I want to express how much we loved the CC Africa experience. We booked a 6 day safari through the Serengeti and Lake Manyara and never regretted once what we paid for it (it was obscene). The Lake Manyara Tree... more

We stayed here 2 nights and that was about perfect. Comfortable bed, there was a regular toilet, and basins to wash up in. Bucket shower proved to be plenty of water and was comfortable. At night we could hear hippos grunting in the river and even lions! We really enjoyed our game driver Frank---easy-going personality and genuine. Good service. Our... more

We recently spent three nights at Under Canvas. The camp had just relocated for the migration which caused a few problems with lighting in our tent. We were frustrated at first having to use flash lights for everything. The staff could not have tried harder to resolve the issue. The management at camp gave up their power for us. Any... more

I'd stayed at the same company's property in South Africa (Phinda), so my expectations were already fairly high. Still, Serengeti Under Canvas exceeded them all and left my girlfriend swooning. I'd absolutely recommend a tented camp experience if you want a more romantic yesteryear safari experience (without actually roughing it). It's really something to dine in a clearing and fall... more

my husband and I spent three nights during out honeymoon at this mobile camp and loved every moment of it. From the minute we landed at the airstrip to the moment we were seen off, the service was impeccible! Every staff member was attentive and hospitable. The tents were magnificent and it was a treat to come back from a... more

After two nights in the posh Ngorongoro Crater Lodge, we moved on to the Serengeti and stayed at the tent camp via &Beyond (formerly CC Africa). A completely different experience but intelligent luxury all the way! The beds at the camp were probably some of the most comfortable we've slept in, the food--cooked by "King Swati"--was outstanding, and what better... more

We booked our Safari with &Beyond (formerly CC Africa) and Serengeti Under Canvas was the third "camp" in our 16 night journey. We stayed 3 nights. Our first camp was Lake Manyara Tree Lodge and our second was Klein's Camp. (Reference those reviews if you like). Serengeti Under Canvas is a totally different experience. I must admit up front, that... more
