An early morning departure by road takes you south to the Tanzania border at Namanga. After clearning customs and immigration, drive into Arusha where you stop for lunch. Then a light aircraft flight takes you into Tanzania's most famous park, the Serengeti. Settle into your lodge and then enjoy an afternoon game drive.
Kensington Serengeti Camp provides the most intimate connection to nature, settled in the heart of one of the world's finest game parks. Located in Kirawira area of the Grumeti corridor, on the west side of Serengeti park, guests experience the rare exhiliration of close contact with the world's greatest migration.
Eight Suswa tents have been meticulously spread under the shade of the towering thorn trees in a grove near the Grumeti river, where zebra and wildebeest come to drink. Tended to by experienced staff, guests can wind down and reflect on the sights and sounds over a "Sundowner" drink in a forested grove with a clear view of the setting sun. By night, guests enjoy campfires and opportunities to share stories or learn more from Masai warriors.
All tents feature a rich and welcoming Masai theme showcased through evocative touches - headboards, lamps, local art and had carved details.
Each expansive tent has five areas. The spacious bedroom features two queen beds and oversized windows which allow cool breezes and warm light to wash through. Immediately behind the bedroom is a dressing room with ceramic sink on a hand carved wooden counter with large mirror. The dressing room is flanked on the one side by a private water closet with flush toilet and on the other side by a large shower room. Hot and cold running water allow guests to freshen up after a day in the sun or unwind in a leisurely shower. Electric lights shine in every tent and the camps are equipped with 220V plugs for charging batteries and other devices. Outside, the open veranda is shaded, with canvas director's chairs and reading table angled to catch the best views. Enjoy a cool drink or spot of tea as you watch the theatre of the wild.
Enjoy delicious Pan-African and traditional bush cuisine. Three main meals are served each day in a large canvas dining tent overlooking beautiful scenery and culminating with five course dinners ending with coffee or tea under the stars.
Weather permitting, meals can be individually served in your own veranda. Picnic meals can also be prepared for full day game drives. Our chefs will gladly observe any special dietary preferences.
