Sanctuary Kichakani

Sanctuary Kichakani Serengeti Camp offers an exclusive safari experience, set in a remote and tranquil location in the Serengeti ecosystem. The camp is designed to provide an intimate connection with nature, offering luxurious tented accommodations amidst the wilderness. It provides a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in the natural beauty of the Serengeti, with panoramic views of the surrounding savanna and wildlife. The camp is ideally located to witness the Great Migration, a spectacle that takes place annually, where millions of wildebeest and zebras traverse the plains in search of fresh grazing. Its design blends seamlessly into the environment, giving guests a sense of true adventure with a luxurious touch. Sanctuary Kichakani focuses on providing personalized service and an authentic safari experience, with both the main camp and private camp options available to suit different preferences.

Best Time to Visit

The best time to visit Sanctuary Kichakani Serengeti Camp is between June and October, which coincides with the Great Migration. During this time, guests can observe the dramatic river crossings and the arrival of large herds into the Serengeti’s northern reaches. Outside of the migration season, the camp still offers excellent wildlife viewing, with predators, including lions, cheetahs, and leopards, frequently spotted. The climate is generally pleasant year-round, but the dry season from June to October offers the clearest skies and best game-viewing conditions.

How to Get There

The camp is most accessible by air, with scheduled flights available from Arusha to the Seronera Airstrip in the central Serengeti. The flight takes about an hour, and from the airstrip, it is a short 45 minute drive to the camp. Road access is also possible from Arusha or other major Tanzanian cities, but it requires a long drive, often around 6 to 8 hours, depending on the route.
