🌍 Tanzania

📍 North Serengeti

Mara Under Canvas by TWC is a luxury seasonal camp established in the North Serengeti during the migration and river-crossing season (Jul–Oct). It appeals to guests who want to experience the rawness of the migration from a comfortable, mobile-style base that still delivers luxury touches—plush beds, proper en-suites, and thoughtful service.

Pricing: typically $900–$980 per double in high season; around $540–$590 in low season (Mar–May, when camp may close).

Thoughtful comparisons: Same tier: Lemala Mara Tented Camp (luxury; more premium finish, excellent guiding) and Mara Mara Tented Lodge (luxury; lodge amenities, strong river access). Step up: Lemala Kuria Hills Lodge (premium luxury; villas with panoramic views). Step down: Mara Kati Kati (mid-range; more rustic, similar access).

Safari context: Being mobile and close to the Mara River puts you at the heart of crossing action; guides position you strategically to witness herds test the riverbanks.
