Fodor's Expert Review Klein's Camp

Serengeti National Park, Mara, Tanzania

Built on the crest of the Kuka Hills with 360-degree panoramic views over the Grumeti River valley, this lovely intimate camp prides itself on good service and quality game-viewing along the river. As it lies just outside the national park on a private conservancy leased from the local Ololosokwan community, you can go on unrestricted game drives and three-hour bush walks—night drives are particularly thrilling. A visit with your Maasai guide to his village will be another highlight. Stone and thatch cottages have en suite bathrooms and a private verandah with great views. The beautifully decorated eclectic vintage-style dining and lounge area boasts exceptional views that some would argue are the best around.

PROS

  • great service and attention to detail
  • stunning views from your cottage verandah
  • a more private and intimate atmosphere

CONS

  • Northern Serengeti is a good three hours' drive away
  • time the migration, which is tricky, if you want to see it from the concession
  • airstrip is an hour's drive, but some may love the additional "safari"
