Kusini Camp, Tanzania

Sarah Fox

Unfortunately when I visited the camp it was closed (May). But I did get to walk around the camp area and get a feel for the location and what it would be like to stay here during peak season. The area in which the camp is situated is incredibly beautiful and knowing the standard of Sanctuary Lodges in general I know the lodge to be of an extremely high standard. I have had great reports from clients who have stayed at the camp. When the migration hits the Southern Plains I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else than Kusini.

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 area around Kusini Camp is visited by the Migration between the months of January and April. Part of Kusini's charm is its remote and private location within the park borders. With no other camps in the near vicinity, Kusini offers exceptional and essentially private game viewing.

Location

Kusini has a private airstrip and flying time from Arusha is approximately 45 minutes. Road transfers from Ngorongoro Crater take approximately 3 hours with game viewing.

Highlights

  • Kusini sits exclusively in this remote region of the Serengeti, affording guests the rare opportunity for secluded game drives well away from the principle tourist circuit.
  • The camp is beautifully located for catching the migration between the months of January and April.
  • Sleeping under canvas hearing the sounds of Africa outside
