Location:

Tarangire National Park, famous for the huge and beautiful Baobab trees with nighttime opening flowers that await pollination by enormous nectar seeking bats, and vast herds of Elephant (over 3000 utilize this eco-system's resources) that chew the pithy bark to gain the valuable moisture content.

Kikoti is our private sanctuary of some 10,000 acres right in the middle of this migration route bordering the National Park, We are unique in being able to observe both the dry season migration towards the Tarangire' s waters AND THEN the reversal, as this eco-systems wildlife turns around and disperse out over 20,000 sq kms of surrounding Masailand as the opportunity of light sporadic rains fall in November- January.

Accommodation:

Kikoti Camp is named after a nearby, mile long stretch of Kopjes. These ancient boulders command views of epic proportions.

To the north, the Rift Valley Escarpment and Ngorongoro Highlands rise above Lake Manyara, to the east are the Simanjiro Plains, calving grounds to the wildebeest herds.

To the north and east Mountains Kilimanjaro and Meru are seen on clear days. Immediately to the west Tarangire National Park - the Tarangire eco-system and the pastoralist Masai on whose land we operate being the focus.

Large twin bedded tents are individually sited and furnished with wooden beds, coffee tables, chairs, camp style wardrobes, wash basins and an en-suite camp toilet & shower.

Delicious meals are prepared and is served in our large dining tents as and when clients individual schedule demands and cold drinks are always available.

Activities:

Gerenuk, Lesser Kudu are all local specialties to this dry, remote, region, and are obviously followed by a myriad of predators. We experience no crowds, no long drives - just wilderness Africa and ethnic culture.  The emphasis is on wildlife, culture, walking and observing behavior. We seek out rock paintings, walking along elephant paths to water holes.

We climb rocky outcrops to view sunrise or sunset, to just to rest and stand in awe. We drive at night to seek out rarely seen nocturnal animals. Hides have also been erected overlooking water holes - another exciting way to view wildlife.
