Kusini Camp,
Southern Serengeti National Park - Tanzania
|
Location:
Serengeti is arguably
Africas premier Game Park. The sheer volume of its wildlife is
staggering.
More than a million and a half wildebeest live here, as do
quarter of a million zebra, almost half a million gazelles, and thousands
of attendant predators.
The Serengeti is superb cheetah habitat, boasting
the largest population in Africa, and is one of the few places where it
can be considered a common animal.

The camp is
located in the Hambi ya Mwaki-Nyeb Kopjes in the south central Serengeti
in the western area near the border with the Maswa Game Reserve. The camp
lies carefully couched in an outcrop of large boulders (or Kopjes).
The
actual site was chosen because of the views, the unusual location and the
all-year proximity of game which is due to easy access from the camp to
several different types of habitat - short grass plains, rocky
outcroppings and acacia bush / woodland.
The camp is a 15 minute drive
from its own airstrip. |

|
Accommodation:
Built
in and around a large kopje, the camp offers spectacular views across
Tortillas woodland situated on the edge of the short grass plains.
The
camp comprises of 12 double tents scattered around the kopje with the
mess tent and common area as the central feature.
Privacy between
tents is guaranteed as they are at a substantial distance from each
other and are generally concealed by a tree or kopje.
The tents
face in different directions giving different views from the other tents
although the general direction of the camp is south. Spectacular sunsets
and sunrise can be viewed from the kopje within the camp.

Game Viewing
:
By far the most famous and
spectacular event is the annual migration of Wildebeest from the
north. With the Wildebeest come Zebra, Thomson's Gazelle and the full
range of predators. This takes place during December to March.
However, the mass movement of the migration can be influenced by many
factors including the unpredictable seasonal nature of the rainfall.
The seasonal changes influencing the vegetation changes which in turn
influences the movement of animals. |

The Southern Serengeti is
also known for its resident Cheetah, Hyena (both Spotted and Striped)
and the Bat-eared Foxes. The birdlife in the vicinity of the camp is
both varied and extensive, harboring species that have not been
encountered on the circuit in the other camps.
Short informative
wilderness walks can be organized if personnel are available. These walks are of about ten
kilometers duration and expose the guest to the basic principles of a
safari in Africa.
Only qualified guides are used. There is no pre-safari booking
for the wilderness walks as they are contingent on available qualified
staff. |
