Serengeti National Park

From World travel guide

Serengeti National Park is a large conservation area located in the north of Tanzania, close to the border with Kenya. It is but one of several conservation areas within the Serengeti region of East Africa, though a vitally important one. As well as conserving wildlife, flora and iconic landscapes, Serengeti National Park has emerged as a major traveller and tourist destination, many making the journey there to engage in safari. The name Serengeti comes from the Maasai language, meaning 'endless plains'.

Accommodation

• Very recommendable is the Kusini Camp, which offers a truly 'wild' experience to all its visitors. The area around Kusini Camp is visited by the Migration between the months of January and April but it should be noted that this is a grazing pattern and therefore experienced in the general area for this period. The season between January and March greets the arrival of newborn zebra and wildebeest calves. Accommodation is offered in nine double tents, each attended by a personal butler, which are scattered around the main Kopje. Each tent has en-suite facilities and hot running water. Private balconies with comfortable furnishings extend in front of each unit. The dining area, lounge and library are housed in the main public area, which affords spectacular views from its wooden deck. Prices start from $275 per person per night, including all meals and game drives.
