Serengeti Safari
Duration: 3 nights
Experience the endless plains of the Serengeti with a stay at Sanctuary Kusini, the only permanent tented camp in the southern Serengeti.
Day 01 - Arrive Serengeti, Tanzania
Today fly from Arusha to the Serengeti. Flying time is approximately 1 hour 30 minutes. Upon arrival you will be met by a Sanctuary Kusini representative and transferred to the camp. Driving time to Sanctuary Kusini is 15 minutes from the airstrip through the Serengeti with game viewing en route. Arrive at camp with time to freshen up before lunch is served.
Accommodation is offered in twelve double tents which are scattered around the main Kopje. Each tent is attended by a personal butler and has en-suite facilities with hot and cold running water. Private verandahs with comfortable furnishings extend in front of each unit. The dining area, lounge and library are housed in the main area, which affords spectacular views from its wooden deck and the adjacent kopje.
This afternoon discover why the Serengeti is an icon of Africa on an afternoon game drive. The open plains spread out as far as the eye can see so it’s no surprise that the name Serengeti comes from the Maasai language meaning, “endless plains”. The park itself covers 14,763 sq. kilometres, making it one of the world’s largest wildlife sanctuaries and host to one of the world’s largest land migrations. Every year 1.5 million wildebeest migrate from the Serengeti to the Masai Mara followed by hundreds of thousands of zebra, gazelle and other plains game in search of fresh grazing pastures. Sanctuary Kusini is ideally placed to catch the migration that can be found in this area of the park from mid December – April when the zebra and wildebeest drop their young.
This evening return to camp and climb to the top of the kopje for stunning 360 degree views of the Serengeti. Relax with your preferred drink as you watch the setting sun paint the Serengeti with pinks, oranges and reds.
Overnight: Swala Kusini
Day 02
Over the next two days you may choose to either partake in a full day game drive into the heart of the Serengeti with a picnic lunch or remain close to camp with morning and afternoon game drives. The area around Sanctuary Kusini is famed for its cheetah.
Whilst at Sanctuary Kusini you have the chance to contribute to the Serengeti Cheetah project by tracking the Serengeti’s cheetah. The photos from your sightings will be combined with the record of their location and sent to the research centre. In return the research centre will provide you with a detailed background of your cheetah, its history and its family.
Return to your camp this evening to freshen up before dinner. Following dinner this evening retire to the kopie where you may take this rare opportunity to enjoy a star safari as the camp manager unravels the myths of the night sky.
Settle in at the dining tent for a deliciously prepared meal before retiring to your tent after an eventful day of game viewing.
Overnight: Swala Kusini
