The Serengeti's Best-Kept Secret: Sanctuary Kusini, A Remote And Private Luxurious Safari Camp
Sanctuary Kusini Camp by Sanctuary Retreats is located in the southern area of the Serengeti National Park.
Perfectly sited in a cluster of kopjes (beautiful outcrops of granite rock), Kusini's twelve luxury tents blend seamlessly into the predator-rich plains of the Serengeti. Part of Kusini's charm is its remote and private location within the park, offering exceptional and essentially private game viewing.
Serengeti is home to the great wildebeest migration, and the short grass plains around Kusini provide the perfect setting for the wildebeest as they mass around the area in the early months of each year.
Sanctuary Kusini Camp is the perfect destination for couples, romantics and honeymooners alike.
Understated luxury at its best, all in a remote and wild location with the World famous Serengeti National Park.
