Sanctuary Retreats: Kusini Safari Camp Tanzania news | Кусини Кемп Танзания

SANCTUARY KUSINI

Africa's Greatest Wildlife Show

Witness the Great Migration at Sanctuary Kusini Tanzania (reopening 1st December 2021) - watch as over two million wildebeest, zebras and gazelles move through the Serengeti in search of fresh grasses. From December to March, thousands of calves are born daily in the nutrient rich plains surrounding Sanctuary Kusini.

Namibia information is here.

The only permanent camp in the Serengeti's remote south, Sanctuary Kusini has the privilege of overlooking predator-populated plains where game viewing is in high-definition.

The main lodge is set around a cluster of spectacular kopjes - rocky outcrops - so at Sanctuary Kusini you don't just have front-row seats for when the Great Migration passes through at full throttle, but you can ogle game congregating on these grassy plains all day long.

YOUR PRIVATE SERENGETI

Part of Sanctuary Kusini's charm is its remote and private location within the park, offering exceptional and essentially private game viewing. Built around a spectacular rocky outcrop, or kopje, the camp's communal areas include a dining area, lounge and library, as well as a campfire. The views from the kopje are simply sensational - the perfect spot for sundowners and stargazing. The library is stocked with reference books to read up on the day's discoveries, and of course, our experienced guides are always on hand to fill in about local knowledge where books cannot. Like all Sanctuary properties, Sanctuary Kusini is designed to have minimal environmental impact, in fact the camp can be packed up and removed without leaving a trace.

SPACIOUS TENTS

The open-plan en-suite twelve tents at Sanctuary Kusini are shaded from the sun by acacia trees and all are extremely spacious. Nestled in amongst the woodland, each tent has carefully thought-out views of the bush making it the perfect hideaway for casual game viewing.

Each tent features mosquito netting, hairdryers and in-room safe. A large private wooden veranda with comfortable furnishings extends in front of each tent, with many having views of the plains below where zebra, buffalo and lion are a common sight, the ideal spot to relax for a sundowner after a hot restorative shower.
