DAY 1
Today fly from Arusha to the Serengeti on a scheduled light aircraft flight
departing at 8am. Flying time is approximately 1 hour 30 minutes. Upon
arrival you will be met by our representative and transferred to
the camp. Driving time to camp is 15 minutes from the airstrip through the
Serengeti with game viewing en route.
Arrive at your camp with time to freshen up before lunch is served.
Accommodation is offered in twelve double tents which are scattered around
the main Kopje. Each tent is attended by a personal butler and has en-suite
facilities with hot and cold running water. Private verandah’s with comfortable
furnishings extend in front of each unit.
The dining area, lounge and library are housed in the main area, which affords
spectacular views from its wooden deck and the adjacent kopje.
This afternoon discover why the Serengeti is an icon of Africa on an afternoon
game drive. The open plains spread out as far as the eye can see so it’s no
surprise that the name Serengeti comes from the Maasai language meaning,
“endless plains”. The park itself covers 14,763 sq. kilometres, making it one
of the world’s largest wildlife sanctuaries and hosts one of the world’s largest
land migrations.
DAY 1 (continued)
Every year 1.5 million wildebeest migrate from the Serengeti to the Masai
Mara followed by hundreds of thousands of zebra, gazelle and other plains
game in search of fresh grazing pastures.
Sanctuary Kusini Camp is ideally placed to catch the migration that can be
found in this area of the park from mid Dec – April when the Zebra and
Wildebeest drop their young.
This evening return to camp and climb to the top of the Kopje for stunning 360
degree views of the Serengeti. Relax with your preferred drink as you watch
the setting sun paint the Serengeti with pinks, oranges and reds.
Meal Plan: lunch & Dinner
Overnight: Sanctuary Kusini Tented Camp
DAY 2 & 3
Over the next 2 days you may choose to either partake in a full day game drive
into the heart of the Serengeti with a picnic lunch or remain close to camp with
morning and afternoon game drives. The area around Sanctuary Kusini is
famed for it’s cheetah.
Whilst at Sanctuary Kusini you have the chance to contribute to Cheetah
conservation through the Serengeti Cheetah project who monitor the
demographics of these magnificent cats in this vast eco system. On a
cheetah watch drive, learn how to identify Cheetah with the use of field
ID kits and how to monitor their behaviour. The photos from your
sightings will be combined with the record of their location and sent to
the research centre. In return the centre will provide you with a
detailed back ground of your cheetah, its family and its last sighting.
Return to your camp this evening to freshen up before dinner. Following
dinner this evening retire to the Kopjie where you may take this rare
opportunity to enjoy a star safari as the camp manager unravels the myths of
the night sky. Settle in at the dining tent for a deliciously prepared meal before retiring to
your tent after an eventful day of game viewing.
Meal Plan: Breakfast, lunch & dinner
