About Ndutu Kati Kati Tented Camp

Follow the Great Migration at this comfortable tented camp in the southern Serengeti
Tanzania’s annual wildebeest migration swings through the southern Serengeti between December and March each year, following the rains and fresh grasses. This is where you’ll find Kati Kati – a seasonal tented camp in a prime spot for catching the peak of the migration. The camp follows the less-is-more approach, offering a dozen comfortable but rustic tents plus an interlinked family tent, good food, and an all-round authentic bush experience without unnecessary frills to detract from its wild and remote feel. We advise that, when booking, you enquire about guiding requirements as there are no permanent guides at this camp.

Property details

The property

The appeal of Kati Kati lies in its simplicity. It's the perfect answer for anyone whose idea of a safari is based on tales of the early adventurers – traditional canvas, functional furnishings, and a setting that’s hard to beat. At the heart of the camp is a spacious, acacia-shaded dining tent overlooking the plains. Meals are also served beneath the stars! There's a lounge tent and an open-air boma and fire pit around which guests share stories and nightcaps.

The rooms

11 spacious double or twin tents plus an interlinked family tent offer basic comforts like sturdy, comfortable beds draped in mosquito nets, a small writing desk, and reed mats on the floor. Bathrooms are en-suite and separated from the bedroom by a canvas screen, with simple bucket showers and hot water supplied on request. The side panels can be rolled up to catch the breeze. Each tent has a small covered veranda in front with marvellous views across the surrounding bush.

Activities

Kati Kati is geared for guests on privately guided safaris, which means you’ll have absolute freedom and flexibility to explore this part of the Serengeti exactly as you wish. Spend the entire day following the herds of wildebeest, huge numbers of zebra and antelope, and the predators which follow. Here, the calving season coincides with the arrival of the migration, so you can expect some breathtaking viewing as countless young are born within the space of a few short weeks.

Insiders Tip

Kati Kati is geared towards guests on a privately-guided safari so it's best to check with the camp should you need a guide.
Something to think about

Something to think about

Because of its remote location, hot water is on request and as the camp is unfenced, showering after dark can be a little risky for the team that bring the water to the tents.
