Located in a remote section of the southern Serengeti, Sanctuary Kusini Camp offers marvelous game viewing experiences, luxury yet traditional guest tents and unique access to resident herbivore and predatory fauna, such as lion, buffalo, cheetah, elephant, leopard, giraffe, zebra, wild dogs, topi and many more.

From the camp, you have 360 degree views, and the Great Migration from December to March brings over one million wildebeests and thousands of zebras to give birth on the plains that surround the camp. Because Sanctuary Kusini Camp is among isolated rocky outcrops with no other permanent camps within the southern vicinity of the national park, you feel the remoteness while you receive individual attention from the professional, experienced and welcoming staff.



The seasonal movement of cheetahs brings as many as 80 of these graceful and lightning swift carnivores to southern Serengeti, and Sanctuary Kusini Camp is uniquely positioned to give you access to these incredible animals. The camp hosts a cheetah watch mission, and you are welcome to contribute to this important conservation effort during your Serengeti trip with AfricanMecca by photographing and documenting the cheetahs.

The camp also offers educational classes to help you learn how to identify each individual cheetah. A private airstrip near the camp provides you with easy access during your tour of Africa, and flights are available from Arusha, Zanzibar and Dar es Salaam.

Accommodation At Sanctuary Kusini Camp

Your spacious tent offers 48 square meters of soothing tranquility, including a large cozy bed with the finest linens, large hand-made rugs, a writing desk and a private bathroom. Every window of your tent is filled with views of the Serengeti wildlife roaming the vast plains. You spend time on your private furnished veranda watching the sunset, reading about the wildlife you see during your Tanzania safari game driving experiences and writing in your journal.



The camp also offers an intimate dining area, lounge and library, where you find volumes of books that describe the animals, cultures and landscape that make the Serengeti one of the most precious regions on the planet. Your personal guide also shares local knowledge during your Tanzania safari vacation at Sanctuary Kusini Camp. At night, after watching the sunset from the top of one of the rocky outcrops, you join other guests around a brilliant campfire to learn about each other and to share stories about your African safari experiences.
