Highlights

Klein's Camp in the Northern Serengeti eco-system. It is perched on the edge of the Kuka Hills, which straddles the north-eastern border of the Serengeti National Park. Set in a private 10 000-hectare/24 500-acre wildlife sanctuary overlooking wooded hillsides, rolling grasslands, marshes and forested riverbanks, the camps' spectacular location is in a vital corridor linking the Serengeti in Tanzania and Maasai Mara in Kenya.

Description

Klein's Camp is unique in Tanzania in that night game-drives and bush walks are offered and driving off-road in open game-viewing vehicles is permitted. Klein's Camp offers 10 intimate cottages of local stone and thatch with rich wooden floors and classic interiors. The bathrooms are en-suite. From the private veranda a diversity of resident wildlife may be viewed in the valley below. The camp has a large beautifully furnished open-sided bar/sitting area with a central fireplace, just a short walk from the dining room, both with sweeping views of the valley and surrounding hills. There is a pool and deck tucked into the hillside and a shop stocks locally made Maasai crafts.

Game Viewing

Elephant are more common here than elsewhere in the Serengeti and, depending on the rains; the migration passes through the area each year in July/August and returns October/November. Activities include two daily game viewing drives in open safari vehicles with Maasai trackers. Night drives on the camps' private concession are a highlight. Guided walks up and along the quartzite hills end with sundowners served on the crest of a hill. Bush breakfasts at spectacular locations are a speciality and private bush dinners can be arranged. Maasai trackers accompany all game-drives and on bush walks offer an insight into the medicinal use of plants.
