At Yellow Zebra, we love the Serian camps. Alex Walker is one of Africa’s most famous guides and his camps are nothing short of exceptional. Private vehicles are guaranteed as is some of the best food and guiding in the country. Alex often hosts in camp, a rarity in itself, and has a team of guides that have won a number of industry awards.

Serian’s Serengeti Mobile Kusini offers the best opportunities to witness the calving season of the Great Migration, so if this appeals, then this is the right camp for you! As it is a movable camp, it is open from December to May, where it is perched on the edge of the short grass plains for views over the vast spaces where the wildebeest herds amass to give birth to their young. It also combines brilliantly with Serian’s Serengeti South – just contact us for more details!

  • Exceptional choice
It’s very difficult to find any holes in an Alex Walker camp. Great guiding, private vehicles, and an authentic feel see Kusini as one of the very best Serengeti mobiles.

Activities

Activities at Serian’s Serengeti Mobile Kusini are all about the wildlife:

Expertly guided game drives

Great Wildebeest Migration

Walking safaris

Game drives to Ndutu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area

  • The quality of guiding really lifts the experience of being in this thrilling part of the world. All the guides are exceptionally knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions. One of the many fab things about Serian is that every visiting group, to any of the properties, has exclusive use of a safari vehicle together with a dedicated spotter and guide! This brings a lot of freedom. You can decide exactly where you would like to go and whether you wish to head out during the morning, afternoon, or evening – or for a full day, with a picnic!

    2018 Calving Season

  • During the calving season, the short-grass plains provide a home for thousands upon thousands of wildebeest and zebra – with plenty of predators in their wake.

    2018 Calving Season

  • Cheetah are particularly prolific, prowling around the herds of herbivores on the alert for opportunities to seize an easy meal! Other species in the area include hyena, jackal, and honey badger. The birdlife is pretty impressive too, with hundreds of species such as the smart secretary bird and the rare Fischer’s lovebird and gray-crested helmet-shrike.

    2018 Calving Season

  • As well as the Serengeti, guests can check out the Ndutu region and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Both boast a wealth of wildlife and are certainly worth a visit while you are here!

    2018 Calving Season

*This property is unfenced and located in a wildlife area, so large and potentially dangerous animals do pass through. If you opt to stay here, always be alert when walking around the camp and request for a member of staff to escort you if you have any concerns. Any guest is escorted after dark as a matter of course.

Access & Location

Kusini is set in the Serengeti National Park , on the edge of the short-grass plains within lush woodland. The spreading limbs of tall acacia trees yield plenty of cool shade, for the mess tent and guest tents alike.

*As this is a mobile tented camp, the location will change throughout the year based on the camp’s position. Mobile tented camps relocate seasonally to follow wildlife movements. Temporary but fully serviced, mobile tented camps leave no permanent trace and offer access to remote wilderness areas far from the crowds.

Facilities

The mess tent contains a lounge area and a dining space.

Make an Enquiry

The lounge has comfy chairs and sofas around a chunky wooden coffee table. A vibrantly patterned Moroccan rug adds splashes of color, while giraffe photos on the walls will whet your appetite for safari, whether this is your very first stay or a return visit! The dining area has a large wooden table and directors’ chairs, providing a social environment for meals. There is also space outside the mess tent to sit and relax, enjoying the wildlife go by!

The word ‘Serian’ is Maasai for ‘serene’, chosen to capture the peaceful experience of staying at the camps, surrounded by the sights, smells, and sounds of nature. Dining is hosted in the mess tent – this is a great time to get to know your fellow guests and share those safari stories! A stay here is about connecting with nature – there may be 24-hour electricity, but there is no Wi-Fi. Just relax and tune in to the natural world!

Amenities

Guest accommodation at Kusini consists of six tents.

Make an Enquiry

Each has a private veranda, perfect for taking in amazing views across the Serengeti plains. Inside, there is a large wrought-iron double bed, bedside tables with lamps, a writing desk and chair, a tea-and-coffee station, and plenty of storage space. Here too, Moroccan rugs bring interest to otherwise neutral tones! The en-suite facilities of each camp comprise flush toilet, wooden washstand with basin and mirror, and classic bucket shower.
