The Serengeti's Best-Kept Secret: Sanctuary Kusini, A Remote And Private Luxurious Safari Camp
Sanctuary Kusini Camp by Sanctuary Retreats is located in the southern area of the Serengeti National Park.
Perfectly sited in a cluster of kopjes (beautiful outcrops of granite rock), Kusini's twelve luxury tents blend seamlessly into the predator-rich plains of the Serengeti. Part of Kusini's charm is its remote and private location within the park, offering exceptional and essentially private game viewing.
Serengeti is home to the great wildebeest migration, and the short grass plains around Kusini provide the perfect setting for the wildebeest as they mass around the area in the early months of each year.
Sanctuary Kusini Camp is the perfect destination for couples, romantics and honeymooners alike.
Understated luxury at its best, all in a remote and wild location with the World famous Serengeti National Park.
The twelve luxury tents are shaded from the sun by acacia trees, and all are positioned carefully with thought-out views of the plains below.
Each tent has its own butler to look after guests during their stay.
Each tent has its own private wooden veranda with comfortable furniture, the ideal spot to relax for a sundowner after a hot restorative shower in the beautiful en-suite bathrooms.
From bush breakfasts, private picnics, sundowners, three-course lunches and dinners and everything in between, Sanctuary Kusini offers up an unforgettable experience like very few on the continent.
Meals typically consist of the following;
- Breakfast: Continental and full English Breakfast
- Lunch: Table d’Hote, a 3-course meal with 2 choices, one being a vegetarian
- Dinner: Table d’Hote, a 3-course meal with 2 to 3 choices, one being a vegetarian
The wine list at Sanctuary Kusini Camp is nothing short of sensational, with an array of world-class wines to choose from. Guests can enjoy a glass of wine with their lunch or dinner or take a bottle with them on their safari adventures.
In the main guest area of Sanctuary Kusini Camp, one will find the dining area, lounge and library, all of which afford guests spectacular views out over the Serengeti National Park teeming with wildlife.
