Experience an exceptional adventure at Sanctuary Kichakani, a mobile camp that follows the awe-inspiring journey of over a million wildebeest and zebras across the Serengeti plains during their annual migration. Swahili for 'in the bush', Kichakani offers a remote and immersive safari experience. Its luxurious ochre tents evoke the spirit of 19th-century explorers with modern comforts, featuring stylish furniture designed for easy transport, including handcrafted luggage and mid-century modern chairs. Unique bucket showers provide comfortable, hot water bathing, enhancing the sense of adventure.
The camp's central area flows into lounges and dining wings, all offering breathtaking panoramas of the surrounding wilderness. Evenings are spent around a traditional fire pit, where guests share stories under starlit skies and knowledgeable guides recount wildlife encounters and local legends. With two locations in the northern and southern Serengeti, guests can choose the ideal time to visit: from June to November for witnessing the Mara River crossings, or December to March to see wildebeest calves, alongside spectacular predator-prey interactions year-round.
Serengeti National Park, located in northern Tanzania, is an iconic expanse of wilderness celebrated for its sweeping savannahs, dotted with acacia trees and dramatic kopjes. It is renowned as the stage for the annual Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest, zebras, and other herbivores traverse the plains in search of fresh grazing lands. This natural spectacle unfolds amidst a backdrop that supports an incredible diversity of wildlife, including Africa's "Big Five" – lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards, and rhinos. Visitors to Serengeti are treated to unparalleled game-viewing opportunities year-round, complemented by the park's rich cultural heritage and breathtaking landscapes that embody the essence of Africa's untamed beauty and wildlife abundance.
