Sanctuary Kusini is located in the southern central area of the Serengeti National Park. The name Serengeti comes from the Maasai language and means “endless plains”. The park itself covers 14,763 square kilometres, making it one of the world’s largest wildlife sanctuaries.
Perfectly sited in a cluster of kopjes (beautiful outcrops of granite rock), Sanctuary Kusini's twelve luxury tents blend seamlessly into the
predator-rich plains of the Serengeti. Part of Sanctuary Kusini's charm is its remote and private location within the park, offering exceptional and essentially private game viewing.
Serengeti is home to thegreat wildebeest migration, and the short grass plains around Sanctuary Kusini provide the perfect setting for the wildebeest as they mass around the area in the early months of each year.
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. The camp uses inverted electrical energy.
ACTIVITIES
The park, and the area around Sanctuary Kusini in particular, is noted for its lion and cheetah populations and excellent leopard sightings. The nearby Moru Kopjes are also renowned for good resident game, particularly
cats, all year round. The woodland area fringing the short grass plains where Sanctuary Kusini is located also has high sightings of resident game including rarer species such as klipspringer in addition to some incredible birdlife.
The famous wildebeest migration is usually present in the area during
the earlier months of the year. One of the highlights is the calving
season which is usually between January and March and sees the arrival of newborn zebra and wildebeest calves. The short grass plains around Sanctuary Kusini provide the perfect setting for the wildebeest as they gather around this area during the birthing of their young.
