Kusini Serengeti is a brand-new tented camp located in the southern Serengeti, nestled among granite kopjes and open plains. It offers sweeping vistas across predator-rich wilderness and is perfectly placed for wildlife enthusiasts wanting proximity to migration paths, dramatic scenery, and fewer crowds.
Built by Nomad Tanzania with a clean, light footprint, Kusini combines rugged elegance with responsible design. The camp reflects Nomad’s philosophy of immersive safari experiences: handcrafted tents, minimal disturbance, and a team of guides deeply aware of the wildlife rhythms. The location allows guests to feel truly remote while still having access to comfort and sophisticated touchpoints.

Accommodation
Kusini has six canvas tents raised on wooden platforms, each with an en-suite bathroom, flushing toilet and shower. Private verandas look into the surrounding bush. The small tented layout offers a different atmosphere from a lodge with extensive communal facilities.
Food & drink
Meals at Kusini are communal, convivial affairs, served in open-plan dining areas or out on deck to take advantage of the views. The cuisine blends East African flavours with international style, using fresh local produce. Sundowners over kopjes, breakfasts with expansive vistas, and occasional private or bush dinners under the stars round out the dining experience.
What to do
Guests at Nomad’s Kusini Serengeti can enjoy twice-daily game drives with expert guides, focusing on the migration and predators like lions, leopards and cheetahs. Birdwatching is excellent, especially along kopje edges. Additional activities may include photographic safaris, guided walks (where permitted), and epic sunrise or sunset moments atop rocky outcrops. Because of its remote southern position, wildlife densities tend to be very good and the experiences more private.
Planning your stay
Three nights gives the southern setting time to unfold. Pair Kusini with Ngorongoro for a northern circuit, or add a northern camp when a longer itinerary calls for a second Serengeti landscape. We choose it for the southern plains and camp atmosphere, then assess migration access for your travel month.
The right fit
Travellers who prefer a small canvas camp, kopje scenery and wildlife-led days. It is a useful comparison for people who want to spend more time in the southern Serengeti than in a large lodge.
Kusini is a fixed southern location, so it does not follow the herds north. Camp operation, walking availability and transfer arrangements should be confirmed for your dates; southern location alone cannot promise nearby migration concentrations.
Useful to know
No. Nomad Kusini is a southern Serengeti camp with six canvas tents. Its location should be chosen for your season and interests rather than treated as moving with the herds.
There are six guest tents with private verandas and en-suite bathrooms. It offers a small-camp atmosphere rather than the facilities and scale of a larger safari lodge.
It is a southern Serengeti option to compare when the herds are expected in the wider plains. The exact position of wildlife varies, so we assess access for your travel dates.
Yes. A crater stay followed by the southern Serengeti gives contrasting wildlife settings. We plan the route and transfers around your arrival flights and available nights.
