Kubu Kubu Tented Camp

swimming pool is good for kids

Kubu Kubu Tented Camp is located in the Serengeti Central area of northern Tanzania.

This property is owned and operated by Tanganyika Wilderness Camps, a Tanzanian-owned company. Since 2005 these guys have grown rapidly and developed an impressive portfolio of camps in these Northern Parks, mainly aimed at the middle part of the price spectrum.

Set in an elevated position to the west of Seronera, the lodge is centred on a large circular main building, leading out to a large swimming pool.

The Serengeti Central area tends to feature in far fewer trips than you might imagine, since we usually try to avoid the crowds that converge here in high season. We tend to include it only when visiting out of season or using one of the more remote camps.

The usual stay duration is 2-4 nights.

Seasonality

This Serengeti Central area tends to be of most interest during the Apr-Nov period, when transiting migration herds and intense predator action combine to make for action packed safari days. That period also largely coincides with the main dry season, although weather conditions in April and November can both be considerably less predictable.

During the converse Dec-Mar season this Serengeti Central area tends to be of less interest (although the core area can still experience very high traffic). Having said that, if the rains lull on the southern short-grass plains, the migration herds can become obliged to slide northwards onto the long-grass plains of this area, in which case the more remote southerly camps can really find themselves at the heart of the action.

Getting around

The majority of people visiting Serengeti Central do so as part of a guided overland safari, so they travel to their camp and around the area in their private vehicle.
A very few people visit Serengeti Central in isolation, flying in and out of the airstrip here. In this case, they travel around the reserve with a vehicle and guide from their camp.

serious traffic issues demand careful planning
