Kichakani Camp, an A&K Sanctuary, Serengeti National Park, Tanzania

Kichakani, meaning "in the bush" in Swahili, truly immerses you in the vast, unspoiled grandeur of the Serengeti National Park. Your precise location within the bush will vary depending on the time of year, as Kichakani operates from two distinct sites in the Serengeti. The northern location offers an unparalleled view of the astounding spectacle of wildebeest, zebra, and antelope crossing the Mara River during the Great Migration, typically from June to November. Alternatively, the southern location provides a perfect vantage point to witness the next phase of the circle of life, the wildebeest calving, where an incredible 9,000 baby wildebeest are born daily between December and March. 

Whether the camp is set up in the north or the south, the wildlife action is often continuous, beginning right outside your tent's zippered flysheet. Throughout your stay at Kichakani, you'll be right in the heart of the action, surrounded by teeming wildebeest, zebra, antelope, and the famous Big Five. Even the abundant birdlife alone is enough to draw nature lovers to this beloved part of Africa. Kichakani Camp strikes a perfect balance between century-old safari style and 21st-century practicality. 

Kichakani Camp is best suited for luxury safari travellers seeking an authentic, immersive experience in the Serengeti. As a mobile camp that moves seasonally to follow the Great Migration, it offers prime wildlife viewing for enthusiasts and photographers alike. The camp combines classic safari charm with upscale amenities, making it ideal for honeymooners, couples, and eco-conscious adventurers who value comfort, exclusivity, and sustainability. With its remote setting and limited connectivity, it’s perfect for those looking to unplug and embrace a truly off-the-grid experience. 

Kichakani Camp strikes a perfect balance between timeless safari style and modern-day comfort, offering an intimate setup with just 10 tents that can also be booked exclusively by private groups. Each spacious 42m² tent features a high apex roof, king-size bed, en-suite bathroom, and a private outdoor deck for relaxing in the wild. Guests enjoy attentive service with a personal tent attendant available around the clock. Thoughtful details, like washstands made from vintage Singer sewing machine frames, add a distinctive and nostalgic touch to the camp’s elegant atmosphere.
