My husband and I spent 3 days at Kusini Camp. We had a great time. We enjoyed sitting on the rocks meeting the other guests while sipping cocktails. It was a lovely sunset. The accommodations were excellent. We loved the food. Last and not least--Chris and Debbie and their staff were very kind and helpful. Our safari guide Joseph Athuman... More

Camp Kusini was the last place I stayed on our "Wings Over the Migration" A&K tour. I was there last February, but am just getting around to writing a review. Cornelia and Mark were by far some of the most amazing people we met on our entire tour. From the moment we arrived I felt completely comfortable and welcomed by... More

Sancturay Kusini is right by the wildebeest migration in the Serengeti. This exotic camp hotel is ideal for safaris. Service is top notch. Rooms are tents but more like 5 star hotel than tent. Host and hostess offer amazing service! Each night, visitors will sit on a rock next to the camp and watch the beautigul African susnet. teh staff... More

We stayed here 4 nights and from the moment we touch down at the airstrip to the point we left we loved it! Chris & Debbie the managers and all the staff were excellent (Jambo!).

We traveled for two weeks in Tanzania, with a group of 8 great friends from California. Kusini was our last stop on our itinerary with the great migration, all 1.4 million wildebeest descending on our camp the last days. Chris and Debbie, the camp managers, as well as all the staff at Kusini were fabulous. From the great dinners, box... More

Kusini Camp is located in the Southern Serengetti. Our tour operator, Nina at Hippo Creek Safaris, suggested we stay there because of the wonderful accomodations but also so we'd be in the middle of the wildebeest migration - and so we were! Debbie, Chris and their staff are awesome! So friendly, welcoming and accomodating. Your wake up call is a... More

Much has been written about this place and I agree with almost all of it. We used an outside driver/guide, but he was well known to the management (Chris and Debbie) and the staff so there was no issue there at all. Food was wonderful. Even our picky daughter found stuff to eat! We loved hearing the lions roar in... More

Comfy beds, good food, and up-close animals made this a great place to start our safari. Of special note, this camp is one of the top 10 places in the world considered to be free from light pollution, thus excellent for star gazing. Unfortunately for us on our trip, it rained and was overcast each night, but it is obvious... More
