Masek Under Canvas

When To Visit The Serengeti:

When To Visit The Serengeti:

"Lake Masek Tented Camp is another of the classic Serengeti mobiles. A good property and one that has a great location from December through to March... but competition in this market is fierce."

OVERVIEW:

Masek Under Canvas is a good-value tented camp that offers an authentic safari experience. However, many of our clients opt to spend a little bit more to stay at Nomad’s Serengeti Safari Camp or Alex Walker’s Serian.

ACCESS & LOCATION:

Located in Ndutu, Masek Under Canvas is situated between the vast open plains of the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

ACCOMMODATION & FACILITIES AT MASEK CANVAS:

This seasonal camp consists of ten spacious safari tents, each with double bed and en-suite facilities including a flush toilet and bucket shower. The communal ‘mess’ comprises a dining/lounge area where guests can relax between game drives or before their alfresco meal.

ACTIVITIES AT MASEK CANVAS:

Masek Under Canvas offers guests the opportunity to see the Great Migration in an area that is known for having the highest concentration of cats in Africa.

*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.
