Klein's Camp was the last in our trip to Tanzania, and it was everything we'd expected it to be. Luxurious, great views, excellent and friend staff but most of all, the gamedriving was beyond expectation! Our guide and tracker were fantastic at their job, but most of all very friendly and warm. Our kids had a great time with them! I wouldn't call Klein's a family destination (more a couple's or honeymooning destination) but we were made very welcome.

We stayed at Klein's Camp for two nights in June 2011. The lodge is located on a private concession right outside the Western part of the Serengeti. The position allows day game drives in the Serengeti and night game drives plus off road drives in the private concession. The lodge is very nice, totally deserves 5 stars - it was just our least favorite compared to the other & Beyond lodges we stayed at. The views from the bar and lodges are great at sunset. The service was great as usual for Beyond and we had two days of great game driving.

There is something special about this place, and its not just that we got so close to the animals and had a safari experience beyond anything we had imagined. The service here is the best we've experienced anywhere. Somehow the staff seemed to proactively consider our every need, and it all just happened around us effortlessly. There was complete flexibility about what we wanted to do, which animals we wanted to track, and when we wanted to do it. There is an abundance of wildlife - everyday we spent time observing from as close a distance as possible, herds of elephants, giraffes, lions, monkeys, babboon, buffalo, etc. Our guide also made some excellent suggestions such as going to visit the community school that Kleins supports. The trip to a Masai Village was also enjoyable - it's not commercial in any way, and we felt very welcomed.

We enjoyed the pan african cuisine - the chefs puts thought and innovation into each course, and executes them well. We also stayed at the Ngorongoro Crater Lodge, and comparitively the food at Kleins was so much better.

Klein’s Camp is the ultimate safari experience. It was my first safari ever, so I didn’t know what to expect. It turned out to be just perfect; Klein’s was the best introduction to safari possible! This year we were very lucky, the migration was passing right by the camp, we were watching it from our terraces. Klein’s is in a private concession, this means there are no one else in that territory, there is no noise, there no vehicles other than Klein’s. The camp consists of 10 houses for the guests and a bar and a restaurant area. All buildings are blending with the environment, there is no fence and animals are fee to wonder around the camp. After dark guests are not allowed to walk on their own for that reason.
Each house is spacious, luxuriously equipped with a walk-in shower, toilet, 2 sinks, a large bed, a wardrobe, a painting set (!!), a gym kit (!!). Each house has a private terrace overlooking the planes. Zebra and wildebeest are in the valley below, one can hear the sounds they make.
Food was excellent: it’s all inclusive, with 24 hour butler service, so you can get your gin and tonic any time you like. There was always a veggie option in the restaurant, time of the meals is also adjusted according to the guests’ preferences.
There is a little shop on the premises, a small swimming pool with lounges. Other than that it’s completely wild.
The laundry is also included, it’s done by hand (I think by the butlers), ready same day if there is no rain. Each house has a solar panel, electricity is supplied by a central generator. Klein’s claims to be very environmental-friendly, and I think I will give them that.
There are 2 game drives per day. Vehicles are open (no side walls), each has blankets and rain coats in case it rains – and it did nearly every day even in the dry season. Trackers are excellent, their English varies, but in general they speak very well, know all the animals and birds, tell a lot of interesting facts. Open vehicles allows for amazing views, guests feel very close to the animals.
We saw all animals possible in Klein’s: lions and cheetahs, leopards, monkeys, zebras, ostriches, buffalos, all sorts of antelopes, baboons, giraffes etc etc. Amazing. Klein’s is not in Serengeti – and it’s not a drawback, I’d say it’s an advantage: no vehicles other than Klein’s, complete silence and an unspoilt territory. It is possible to drive to Serengeti from Klein’s, but to be honest – why would you? It is the same ecosystem, animals don’t really care, so shouldn’t the guests.
One of the unique things about Klein’s is a possibility to do a walking safari and to have night drives. We saw a line during our walk – very exciting! During night drives we saw lions hunting – nature at it’s wildest!
Would absolutely recommend Klein’s: it’s a beautiful, well-managed place in a stunning location. Expensive, but worth every penny.
