Klein's Camp

Klein's Camp is set on the edge of the Kuka Hills and commands breathtaking views of the valley through which pass migratory herds of wildebeest and zebra.

The majestic elephant rules this landscape, moving in numbers unequalled anywhere else in the Serengeti. The Klein's concession accommodates a maximum of 20 camp residents, in every sense the ultimate private Tanzanian safari and your own, personal piece of Africa.

Klein's is located in one of the most strategically positioned wildlife sanctuaries in the world. The camp is situated in a 10 000 hectare private sanctuary leased from the local Maasai community. Our safari operation shares the sanctuary with the local Maasai pastoralists who traditionally graze their herds alongside the wildlife. The camp is bordered to the north by Kenya's Masai Mara National Reserve and to the west by the Serengeti National Park, into which we venture on thrilling game drives. CCAfrica is taking an active role in involving the neighbouring Maasai people in ecotourism initiatives through participation in community projects, employment opportunities and sustainable resource use.

Klein's is 23km from the Kenyan border. The Grumeti River flows near the camp, then lunges west past CCAfrica's secluded Grumeti River Camp, on the far western side of the Serengeti. Once a controlled hunting zone, the wildlife around Klein's Camp is now protected under the exclusive concession enjoyed by CCAfrica, and many of the big game species are rapidly becoming habituated to the presence of humans shooting rolls of film instead of bullets. An epic film, 'Serengeti Shall Not Die', is an inspired tribute to the national park.

Klein's Camp comprises a main lodge and ten luxury cottages, set on the edge of the Kuka Hills, commanding sweeping views of the valley below.

The camp contains just ten intimate, turn-of-the-century style cottages of local rock and thatch. The rich wooden floors and serene, classic interiors are reminiscent of the heydays of rugged safaris. Each spacious cottage has an en suite bathroom. With showerheads the size of a dinner platter, our spacious enclosed showers offer you the sensory equivalent of an indoor cloud-burst. From each private terrace, a diversity of resident wildlife, including elephant, may be viewed in the valley.

Askaris (Maasai warrior guards) accompany you to and from your cottage at night.
