Overview

Serian’s Serengeti Camp, Kusini, is an attractive, high-end mobile camp located within the southern reaches of the Serengeti National Park, Tanzania, not far from the Ngorongoro Conservation area. A short 15-minute drive from the Serengeti South airstrip, this intimate and secluded resting-place is nestled amidst acacia woodland on the edge of the shortgrass plains where the wildebeest come in their millions to give birth to their young. The camp is open from December to May when there are high concentrations of game and predators to be seen in the area from cheetahs and hyena to jackals, honey badgers and spectacular birdlife.

The cosy mess tent houses the beautifully-presented dining table where delicious food is served. Although there is no WiFi, 24-hour generator power is provided, along with charging points for electrical devices.

With just six tents, this intimate camp belongs to the ‘Alex Walker’s Serian’ portfolio and lends itself well to family or group bookings. Each of the stylish, traditional safari tents houses a large wrought-iron bed and an en-suite bathroom with flushing toilet and bucket shower (hot water is provided).

Activities here are naturally centred on viewing the superb wildlife in both the Serengeti National Park and the nearby Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Breath-taking game-drives are the main focus, with guests occupying their own, private safari vehicle with a dedicated guide and spotter who can tailor itineraries to the needs of any particular group or family.

Children of all ages are welcome and the relaxed nature of the camp make it a great choice for families. Early meals can be arranged on request and there is a family suite comprising two separate tents joined by a comfortable communal living space. Parents sleep in one tent, up to two children in the other and a third child can sleep comfortably in the living area. With the camp’s strategic location on an ancient migratory path, animals are free to wander through and although they are unlikely to approach tents or humans, children must remain under parental supervision at all times.

The Serian Serengeti Mobile Camp, Kusini, with its elegant feel and efficient, accommodating staff makes for a wonderful stay. While it’s not an option for those on a low budget, the camp does offer high calibre accommodation combined with a seamless, authentic safari experience and a touch of luxury in a superb and truly wild location.

  • I was also just about to email you to thank you and the team for arranging yet again, another wonderful experience.

    Mount Kenya was spectacular and wild - I think I prefer it to Kili in many ways. The entire support team was professional, friendly and all round fantastic in making sure that we were safe, well fed and well looked after. In particular, we would commend Peter the guide as well as Paul one of the porters who doubled-up as his deputy on summit day. Our route was often shrouded in mist and rain that rapidly gathered in the valleys and moorlands, and we were very impressed at how Peter managed to navigate us safely through all of that notwithstanding. In addition, we loved learning about the history of Mount Kenya from him in the evenings. And ofcourse, I was blown away by the lovely birthday surprise at the end complete with balloons and a delicious cake that had journeyed with us from day 1. One thing we might recommend because of the sudden change in weather (it would sometimes get extremely cold and wet) is for the equipment list to be a little bit more detailed in terms of its recommendations e.g. layers to be moisture-wicking, walking boots be waterproof, doubling up on socks to avoid blisters etc.

    El Karama is a beautiful conservancy and the lodge a true labour of love. Great hospitality in a relaxed environment. Delicious, fresh food. We enjoyed the drives, even if we didn't see much wildlife as the heavens opened on us for the last two outings. However, since it was very much geared towards families, I am not sure if I would stay again without kids. That said, I think it was perfect for a 3d/2n stay post mountain, and a much better choice than flying to the masai mara given the limited time we had.

    Our transits were smooth. Samuel the driver was always on time, drove safely and kept the vehicle clean.

    So it was a brilliant experience and one which I certainly will cherish for some time to come. It was great to work with you for a third time, and I certainly hope it won't be the last

  • Thank you, we had an absolute wonderful time, and everything was well-planned and as described. Carla was crying on the day of our departure from Ants Nest, she didn’t want to go home and for it all to end, and when I asked how much longer she would want to stay, she responded “four weeks”

  • We had the most amazing time. It exceeded all my hopes of what the trip would be. The guides, the hotels - everything was of such a wonderful quality. Thank you for organizing everything. I will absolutely recommend Tourdust and use you again.
