Kleins Camp is a Luxury safari tented camp located on the north eastern edge of Serengeti National Park, northern Tanzania and Klein’s Camp Lodge is one of the few private concessions adjacent to the park. Camp Kleins hotel was built on the craggy quartzite and sandstone Kuka Hills that extend south from Kenya into the north-eastern corner of the Serengeti National Park. The Grumeti River, which has its source in the southern Kenyan hills, runs through the Klein’s Camp concession, and its narrow strip of riverine forest is a distinctive feature.

Klein’s Camp sits within a 10,000 hectare private concession and provides guests with the ultimate private Serengeti experience. With Kenya’s Maasai Mara National Park to the north and the Tanzania Serengeti National Park to the west, the Klein’s Camp is one of the most strategically positioned wildlife sanctuaries in the world, and is highly recommended for Serengeti Migration Safaris. At Kleins Camp Hotel thousands of wildebeest and zebra migrate at certain times of the year, in addition to excellent year-round game including lion, cheetah, leopard as well as many bird species. Action-packed night game-drives and extensive bush walks into the Serengeti are just some of the activities that guests can enjoy.

Kleins Camp is operated by CC Africa (Conservation Corporation Africa). CC Africa works hand in hand with its sister organisation Africa Foundation, and they operate a series of hotels and lodges throughout East and South Africa all of the highest standard whose development and operation is tied in with the local communities, helping them to develop, educate their children and ensure adequate medical services. Klein’s camp is relatively small located on a small shoulder of a hillside overlooking a broad lush valley, the area is rich in game life and particularly so in the period July till October. The safari camp offers several rondavels each with a verandah overlooking the valley and with double or twin bedded four poster beds and en-suite facilities. The bar has an old safari lodge style atmosphere with a central fire, comfortable seating, a small library and a fine panorama.

A further joy of Klein’s Camps location is that it is not bound by the rules of the Serengeti, so the maximum of 16 guests at the camp can enjoy night drives and safaris in open-sided vehicles, and walk in the surrounding bush. The entirety of Klein’s Camp is constructed and decorated with solid, good-quality furnishings and inspires a great sense of peace and comfort, enhanced by the knowledge that this is such a great distance from any other sign of civilization.The tents are were comfortable, elegant, and quiet. You will love the hot water bottles that are placed beneath the sheets each night!.

Kleins Camp contains just 10 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, the 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. Round stone walls and polished floors beautifully offset the soft cream and gossamer-fabric interiors. The décor at Klein’s resembles an old Tanganyika coffee plantation house. The camp has a large, beautifully furnished bar/living area, plunge pool, a curio shop which stocks locally made Maasai crafts and a leisure deck. The restaurant and lounge command spectacular views of the valley and surrounding hills. Day and night safaris in open safari vehicles are led by experienced tour rangers and guides.

About the Mara Serena Safari Lodge

A ringside seat for the greatest show on earth.

Located at the very centre of the famous ‘Mara Triangle’ of the world-renowned Masai Mara National Reserve, the Mara Serena Safari Lodge is the ultimate safari destination. Set high on a bush-cloaked hill with long views over the savannah and down to the winding coils of the hippo-filled Mara River, it stands centre-stage to one of Africa’s most dramatic wildlife arenas, with a ringside seat for the ‘greatest wildlife show on earth’, the legendary migration of the wildebeest.

Styled to echo the circular motif of a traditional Maasai manyatta, the lodge blends international sophistication with raw African beauty, while featuring twin rows of individual rooms, each with its own view of the famous Mara River. The central bar and dining areas enjoy spectacular views, as does the rock-surround swimming pool. Each luxuriously-presented room is accommodated in its own stand-alone modular unit, with uninterrupted views, private balcony and spacious seating area. Activities include three daily game drives in custom-built traditional safari vehicles, ‘sundowners’ in the bush, breakfast by the hippo pools, balloon safaris and exotic Maasai bush suppers.

Word renowned for the breathtaking spectacle of ‘the greatest wildlife show on earth’, the awe inspiring annual migration of the wildebeest, the Mara is Kenya’s most visited protected area. Technically an extension of Tanzania’s renowned Serengeti National Park, the Mara constitutes only 4% of the entire Serengeti ecosystem but its rolling grasslands, meandering rivers and towering escarpments offer one of the world’s most rewarding and evocative wildlife arenas.
