We stayed for three nights at Kusini Camp in late March and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Kusini is sister to Swala Camp in Tarangire National Park, and both permanent tented camps are built to a very high standard. Kusini is an elegant retreat in a remote part of the southern Serengeti, and therein lies part of its appeal. It has... More

My wife and I spent 3 days at Kusini in February 2012. We were in the midst of the Migration in luxury tented accomodations. Food and service were outstanding. The sundowner sitting on the massive rock in the center of the camp is an outstanding experience. The area was rich in wildlife with highlights including seeing masses of moving wildebeest... More

We stayed 3 days and 3 nights at Kusini. The tent was great, the food was delicious, and the staff was very friendy and accommodating. We saw the great migration and millions of wildebeest and zebras. Our guide Wolfgang was awesome-he told us all about the animals and birds and scenery. We even saw a kill which was amazing-a cheetah... More

This camp was the last leg of our safari and we really did end on a high. The tents (surely not the correct word for the luxury we stayed in) were great - clean, comfortable and spacious - the food was good and all the staff were friendly and helpful. Having pre dinner drinks on the "rocks" whilst watching the... More

We stayed here for three nights and had a very good time. Kusini is tented but not mobile and therefore has better infrastructure than other camps in the Serengeti. Our “tent” (being rather a very nice bungalow) offered every comfort you would expect to have in a four star hotel. The food was good (although we missed the local touch... More

We stayed at Kusini Camp for 2 nights as part of our 5 night Tanzanian Safari. After a very long and bumpy road into the camp, it was a very welcoming oasis. We were warmly greeted by Mark who briefed us over a welcome drink. Sunset drinks were served on the "rock" before beautiful dinner in the restaurant. Drinks and... More

The hotel and service were great. Our only negative was the driver who did not speak English well and seemed to be not to be up to par as we had at other camps and the internet was spotty. Food was good and they did a great job accomodating our special needs. The boutique was great. The rooms were very... More

Overall this was an amazing place, incredible experience, the most ideal safari lodge one can dream of. In more detail: - The location is so remote from everything that Kusini is practially unaccessible (by car) after a few rainy days. This might affect your safari possibilities as well, probably the dry(er) season(s) is(are) a better bet. - Because of its... More

Sanctuary Kusini was a lovely, fresh tented camp in the Serengeti, the tent's are elegant with a lot of space. The environment was beautiful, huge rocks and bush land, with Lions roaring at night time. The food was excellent, some of the best we have had on Safari in Africa. Thank you to Mark, Cornella and the Staff for making... More
