Sanctuary Kusini Camp

One of the best camps for viewing the migration as it ventures south of the Serengeti National Park, Kusini Camp offers you views from up high as it hides among a cluster of kopjes overlooking a game rich plain below.

The 12 tents are discreetly scattered around the main kopje and each have their own private veranda with comfortable day loungers where you could happily retreat to and spend hours simply enjoying the wilderness that spreads out in front of you. With a subtle classic decor, the tents are all very spacious and shaded beneath acacia trees providing a nice little sanctuary after you experience some amazing game. The main dining and lounge area has marvellous views and makes for a great sundowner experience.

The setting is hard to match. Between January and March, this camp has pride of place and gives you the chance to see the baby zebra and wildebeest arrive. After November has brought the short rains, the landscape almost instantly springs to life with shoots of green grass and as nature would have it, excellent grazing for the youngsters as they struggle to keep up with the herds that are constantly on the move.

Sanctuary Kusini also happens to be in an area that is ideal leopard territory and sightings are accordingly excellent. Moru Kopjes is nearby to the lodge which is a popular spot for prides of lion who can gaze down over the plains with their sharp eyes scanning the horizon.
