Our Yellow Zebra Opinion
-
Good option
The only problem with this property is the sheer quality of its competition. The Mara area has superb mobiles and my own opinion is that Lemala and Nasikia stand out in this price bracket… so I rarely use this camp.
Activities
Great Migration
-
Mara Under Canvas really peaks from July through to November, when the Great Migration is in full swing. Guests can watch over a million wildebeest and zebra migrate into the area.
*This property is unfenced and located in a wildlife area, so large and potentially dangerous animals do pass through. If you opt to stay here, always be alert when walking around the camp and request for a member of staff to escort you if you have any concerns. Any guest is escorted after dark as a matter of course.
Facilities & Amenities
Part of Tanganyika Wilderness Camp’s portfolio, the ten-room property occupies a prime location for travellers keen to focus on the sight of the Great Migration crossing the Mara River.
The eco-friendly rooms are spacious, with king-sized beds and generous en-suite facilities including a bucket shower and a flush toilet. The camp has a separate lounge tent and dining tent where guests can relax during rest periods between game drives.
