Perched on the edge of the Kuka Hills in northern Serengeti, Klein’s Camp is in a 24,700-acre private wildlife preserve leased from Maasai landlords. Guests come to enjoy a vintage style safari experience without the crowds. Day and night game drives and interpretive bush walks are offered to Klein’s 20 exclusive guests. A complimentary pair of Swarovski Optik binoculars are provided for your use during your stay. 

Perched on the rim of the famous Crater, the architecture is inspired by the Maasai who build in mud and sticks. The lodge has three intimate camps, North Camp (12 suites), South Camp (12 suites) and Tree Camp (six suites). In this place of dramatic contrasts, where Versailles meets Maasai, the rooms feature Persian carpets and butler service.  With ever-changing views as mists swirl over the huge wildlife cauldron below, the location is truly breathtaking.

Ten spacious guest tents sit in a forest on the banks of the Grumeti River in the western Serengeti where the annual migration brings thousands of wildebeest, zebra and other herbivores to cross. Anticipating crocodiles provide quite the show and seasonal resident hippo pods can be seen in the river pools, right in from your tents. Game drives from the camp can expect to encounter large lion prides and clans of hyena, big herds of resident plains game and black and white colobus monkeys, found nowhere else in the Serengeti. There is also a nearby launching site for hot air balloon safaris over the Serengeti.
