Sanctuary Kichakani Serengeti Camp

The main guest area is a grand canopied series of lounges and dining wings, with superb views across the plains. Crisp tones of pale sand, vivid charcoal stripes and earthy natural wood all blend together to create a refreshingly cool feel that’s warmed in the evenings by soft lighting and sparkling chandeliers. Outside, the traditional fire pit tempts you to linger over a night cap beneath the starry skies - with ear open to the magical sounds of the wilderness at all times.

Ten beautifully-designed tented double and twin suites offer the best of under-canvas luxury, and come complete with vintage travelling cases, stunning African artwork, and romantic four-posters swathed in mosquito nets. In the ensuite bathrooms, charming bucket showers are filled on request by your personal attendant, and give a real taste of pioneering expeditions from days gone by. Each tent has a private deck in front, perfect for relaxing between game drives and watching the passing wildlife.

Kichakani follows the traditional style of game viewing, with early morning and late afternoon sundowner drives. As each location has been carefully chosen to put you right in the heart of the migration, the action is non-stop – aside from the countless wildebeest and zebra, look out for Thompson’s gazelle, elephant, buffalo and giraffe, and spectacular birdlife. Be prepared for incredible predator interactions, with all of the big cats present, and the exciting possibility of encountering rare African wild dog.
