Klein’s Camp

a delightfully quiet retreat

Klein’s Camp is located in the Serengeti North area of Tanzania.

This property is owned by AndBeyond, one of the premium safari operators in Africa.

Set in a lovely elevated position, Klein’s Camp is a very high specification permanent lodge, one of the oldest and best known facilities in the region.

It is accessed by a steep track which climbs up from the Klein’s Gate entrance into the Serengeti.

From the vehicle turnaround a path leads to the main public areas, which are contained in two large rondavels. These areas are extremely comfortable and stylish, with commanding views out over the surrounding landscapes. There is also a decent swimming pool.

Rooms

Guest accommodation at Klein’s Camp is in 10 rooms, also contained in circular stone and thatch structures, simple enough but very elegantly presented.

Activities

Klein’s Camp provides the following guided activities, not all of which are necessarily included in the price …

• Vehicle safari
• Mountain hiking
• Bush meals
• Cultural visits
• Night vehicle safari

The Serengeti North area tends to feature in trips very rarely these days.

The usual stay duration is 1-2 days when transiting between the Serengeti and Lake Natron areas or 2-4 nights when staying at a more remote lodge.

Seasonality

The Serengeti region has to be one of the most seasonal locations in Africa.

Although there is literally no bad time to visit this part of the world, the annual cycle of weather, wildlife movements and visitor traffic flows combine to have an incredibly dramatic effect on trip planning during every single month of the year.

In this Serengeti North area, the migration movements through this area (north during Jun-Jul and south during Oct-Dec) are too unpredictable to plan trips around.

We therefore tend to visit any time May-Feb, with the intent of enjoying their landscapes and resident wildlife.

something of a transit area, rather than a destination
