Serengeti

Tanzania

Serengeti Under Canvas epitomizes luxury with its semi-permanent tented camp, strategically relocating across the Serengeti to keep pace with the mesmerizing migration of herds. This nomadic camp follows the rhythmic footsteps of over two million wildebeest and various herbivores as they traverse the grasslands in pursuit of fresh pastures each year.

Zuri Zanzibar combines fantastic accommodation with one of the best beaches on Zanzibar, if not the finest! Zuri is also a member of the Design Hotels collection and, as suspected, not one detail has been overlooked.
