Serengeti National Park, Tanzania

Kusini Camp

This property is a simple and sweet tented camp located in the south-central section of the Serengeti. We love the Moulton Brown bath products! (Hey - this company is run by ladies!) If you are lucky, you may get to see the resident striped hyena that lives nearby! This location can be great for viewing the annual wildebeest migration from January to March.

While this area has LOTS of wildlife, you must obey the park rules - so no night driving and there can be tsetse flies in the valley below.

Perfectly sited in a cluster of kopjes, Kusini is a permanent tented camp blended seamlessly into the delicate environment of the predator rich plains of the Serengeti. The surrounding short grass plains provide the setting for the most spectacular natural phenomenon in the continent of Africa, the wildebeest migration, during which time the hordes amass around the camp for the birthing of their young.

The migration comes with its own retinue, and the predators - lion, leopard and cheetah plus countless zebra, gazelle and other plains game add to a diverse eco-system that evolves around you during your stay.

Kusini sits exclusively in this remote region of the Serengeti, affording guests the rare opportunity for secluded game drives and intimate walking encounters well away from the principle tourist circuit. Kusini's expert guides enhance your stay by sharing their knowledge and experience gleaned during a lifetime in the bush.

Kusini's 9 tents feature en suite bathrooms with showers and elevated terraces overlooking the Serengeti Plains. Few properties pay homage to the surrounding environment with the same breathtaking effect as Kusini, effortlessly ensuring an exclusive proximity to the Africa that you have come to see, far from the crowds that might be expected to throng to so unique a destination.

Between definitive wildlife encounters and classic African adventures, you may gather for elegant candlelit meals and safari tales in the dining tent, have sundowner cocktails or picturesque banquets atop a nearby kopje, enjoy tranquil siestas watching the animals that often visit Kusini's waterhole, or spend contemplative hours in the intimate library lounge, taking stock of what you have seen.
