Rated in 4 /
Moving between two different settings in the Serengeti, this luxurious tented camp guarantees you front-row seats to some of the most dramatic events of the annual and seasonal Wildebeest Migration. Depending on the time of year, you may see the massed herds on the move, the predator-rich birthing season in the south, or what some regard as the Migration’s highlight: the river crossings. The wildebeest have to cross various rivers to move back to Kenya’s Masai Mara National Reserve and the region’s large and powerful crocodiles have been waiting all year for them.
Whichever location you experience, the result is explosive; some of the most dramatic game viewing in Africa. This is also a big game country and your guide is on the lookout for lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants, and buffalo as well as wildebeest herds. It is a good area for other predators such as cheetahs and wild dogs, and you view it all in a beautiful landscape of rolling grassy savannah studded with thorn trees and rocky outcrops.
Kichakani Serengeti Camp offers just 10 luxurious tents, each a blend of modern comfort and traditional safari style. The tents are very large and come with electric lighting and a private bathroom with a hot-water shower. You have your viewing deck to relax on, complete with easy chairs and a convenient table for an iced drink or two. Completely unfenced and located on the path of the Wildebeest Migration, this exclusive camp is perfect for couples and romantic travelers as well as those who want to immerse themselves in the Migration experience.
Highlights
Activities
'Kichakani has the distinct feel of years gone by; classic elegance combined with modern-day amenities makes for an excellent experience. Moving through the Serengeti following the Migration, you are assured of being in the right place at the right time. Ten tents means a very personalised experience which we think is so important when visiting Africa. A clever move would be to book this camp in conjunction with its sister properties - Swala, Ngorongoro Crater, and Kusini - the savings are excellent and the service top drawer.'
Rooms
Luxury Tent
There are only 10 tents at Kichakani Serengeti Camp, each a master class in subtle sophistication. Sleek and stylish, they are decorated in neutral shades and radiate a cool charm. A canopied double bed takes center stage, swathed in netting, and the wooden floors are covered in rugs. Comforts include electric lighting, a fan, a tea-and-coffee station, and, quite unusually, a hair dryer.
Each tent has its own en suite bathroom complete with a traditional safari bucket shower; your tent attendant ensures you have hot water whenever you want. Step outside and you find a wooden deck with a pair of easy chairs and panoramic views of the Serengeti. It is not unusual to see herds of wildebeest and zebra milling around in front of camp, a view you can enjoy from the comfort of your tent.
Facilities
A mobile tented camp that has been designed to leave a minimal impact on the environment, Kichakani Serengeti Camp forsakes the facilities and swimming pools of larger, more permanent lodges and features only a grand central tent with dining and lounge areas. The sides of the tent are usually rolled up to let in the unfettered views of the Serengeti, and you can order a drink from the bar to enjoy on a comfortable sofa or outside by the fire pit. The complimentary laundry service offered at camp is a nice touch and allows you to pack lightly.
Dining
Your day begins early with a cup of freshly brewed Tanzanian coffee or tea delivered to your suite. A light breakfast before the morning drive and a hearty brunch on your return. After your game drive you will return to camp for a three-course supper, served in the dining wing of the camp or outside under the stars.
The cuisine at Kichakani Serengeti Camp blends international flavors with local ones, including kachumbari (a traditional zesty Tanzanian salsa) and fresh spices from Zanzibar.
