Situated in the Northern Serengeti
This private 10,000 acre wildlife concession is leased from Maasai landlords and is available for the sole use of the camp’s 20 guests.
Location: Located on the edge of the Kuka Hills within a private 10,000-hectare Maasai-leased concession in northeastern Serengeti, Klein's Camp offers sweeping views across rolling valleys and distant hills. Far beyond the tourist crowds, wildlife roams freely here within sight of camp, while both migration routes and resident big cats are core features of this remote and privileged wilderness setting.
Rooms: The camp comprises ten elegant stone-and-thatch cottages, each featuring traditional rustic interiors with thick wooden floors, open-plan bedrooms, private verandahs and en-suite bathrooms warmed by hot-water tanks heated by firelights. Rich textiles and antique-style furnishings evoke colonial safari luxury, with individual Maasai escorts accompanying guests at night.
Amenities: Communal spaces include a beautifully furnished open-air bar, lounge and dining tent, complete with a central fireplace and a safari curio shop stocked with local crafts. A hillside swimming pool offers a serene spot to unwind. The camp also provides Wi-Fi in public areas, safari-charging stations, high-end dining, and all meals are served with exceptional attention to detail in refined yet relaxed surroundings.
Activities: Guests enjoy twice-daily open-vehicle game drives across a private concession that allows off-road driving, bush walks and night drives, unique in the Serengeti. This grants exceptional closeness to wildlife, including resident lions, elephants, cheetah and black eagle sightings. Optional excursions include sunrise hot-air balloon safaris, visits to authentic Maasai villages, and guided walking safaris across ochre hills and plains.
Sustainability: While explicit sustainability initiatives are less publicised, Klein's Camp is deeply rooted in conservation and community collaboration. Its Maasai-leased concession model supports local land stewardship. Staff are recruited locally, traditional materials are used in construction, and the boutique operation maintains low guest numbers - minimising land impact and preserving the wild Serengeti landscape.
