Ndutu Under Canvas

🌍 Tanzania

📍 Ndutu (Serengeti)

Ndutu Under Canvas by TWC is a luxury seasonal camp set in Ndutu (southern Serengeti/NCA) during the wildebeest calving season (Dec–Mar). It’s for travelers who want the authentic feel of a mobile tented camp but with elevated comfort—king beds, en-suite bathrooms, attentive service—and proximity to the predator drama that makes Ndutu world-famous. The camp moves locations to stay close to the action, giving it a prime edge during peak wildlife months.

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

Thoughtful comparisons: Same tier: Masek Tented Lodge (luxury; permanent lodge, lake views) and Lemala Ndutu Tented Camp (luxury; highly regarded guiding, prime positioning). Step up: One Nature Nyaruswiga (premium luxury; all-suite, extravagant finish). Step down: Sero Tented Camp Ndutu (mid-range; simpler, same dawn advantage).

Safari context: Off-road permits in Ndutu allow vehicles to follow predator–prey drama closely—this is one of East Africa’s most thrilling seasonal spectacles.

Rooms

Large canvas tents with king or twin beds, en-suite bathrooms with flush toilets and bucket showers, solar/generator power, and private verandas. Central lounge and mess tent, with fire pit for storytelling at night.

Meals

Flexible early breakfasts or picnic breakfasts in the bush; picnic lunches to extend time on the plains; plated three-course dinners on return. Cuisine mixes international staples with local Swahili influence.
