Sanctuary Kusini Camp

The main area is set on an elegant chevron-shaped timber deck perched around an imposing rocky outcrop. To one side is a bar and dining area, and on the other a comfortable lounge faces out over the plains. The decor is sleek and understated, in natural colours, the deck has comfortable seating, and there's a well-stocked library. Evenings are spent around the campfire under the stars. There's wi-fi in the main area, and every morsel of food is delectable.

Kusini has 12 beautifully appointed timber and canvas tents well spaced among the boulders for maximum seclusion. Each has a private viewing deck designed to make the most of the views over the game-rich plains. The en-suite bathrooms have twin basins and hot running water for the showers. Dark polished wooden floors, raw African textiles and crisp linens under mosquito nets give a timeless feel, and each tent is serviced by a private butler, adding a generous touch of luxury.

Twice-daily game drives across the plains offer excellent game-viewing opportunities, with high densities of resident game and, depending on the season, vast herds of wildebeest and other ungulates following the rains in search of fresh grazing. This area is renowned for predators, in particular lion and cheetah, with frequent leopard sightings along the rocky ridges. Look out for the birding specials, including plenty of birds of prey, explore the bush on foot, and don't miss an evening "cosmic safari".
