Kati Kati North is a camp lost deep in the wilds of the northern Serengeti in Tanzania, not far from the famous Grumeti River. With its traditional but comfortable tents, one feels truly immersed in the ecosystem, and it's the ideal springboard from which to watch the wildebeest of the Great Migration. Resembling the camps of early African explorers, Kati Kati is designed to be completely movable, leaving no trace behind, but that's not to say you'll miss out on the comforts of a permanent camp. Kati Kati Mara might not be frilly and fluffy, but you'll have everything you need, from soft pillows and crisp sheets, to hot showers and flushing loos.




There are only 10 tented suites at Kati Kati, and it certainly never feels crowded. The tents simple and spacious, with wrought-iron beds, small writing desks and some hanging space at the back for your khakis. Each also has a private en-suite bathroom with a bucket shower, wash basin and toilet, and electricity is provided by solar panels. There's also one family tent with space for two adults and two children.
The organisation supports various community projects, including the de-snaring project in the Serengeti, medical care solutions like the Olmoti Clinic in Western Kilimanjaro, and educational opportunities like the Emusoi Centre in Arusha. Additionally, initiatives like the Children’s Health Program in Nairobi and contributions to Wildlife Management Areas and Tanzania National Parks underscore their commitment to community well-being and environmental conservation.
