Accommodations in Serengeti
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 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.
Perhaps surprisingly, 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.
Secluded amongst the rocky outcrops of this private swathe
of paradise, Kusini's nine 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.
