WHAT CAN I EXPECT AT SERENGETI UNDER CANVAS – LUXURY WITHIN THE VERY HEART OF THE AFRICAN WILDERNESS

“Hearing the hippos, lions and monkeys in the back as you are lying in your bed is an unforgettable experience. The luxury and comfort of these lodges are incredible, and, of course, the great and friendly staff!”

An outdoor shower before going on a trip is the best, along with the animals you witness close to your tent. We’re sitting here in Belgium (it’s raining again), thinking about how great it was almost one year ago on our honeymoon! Big thank yous for this amazing journey!
