Kikoti camp in Maasai land - Tanzania













Kikoti is a luxury, tented camp that recaptures the time-honored splendor of the traditional safari camp of yesteryear, when comfort was defined by superior service and campfire hospitality. Each of the tents has sewn-in floors and plumbed en-suite facilities and have been laid out in the traditional safari manner with wooden beds, fresh linen and a verandah from which to admire the views of the Silale wetlands in the valley below.
Kikoti's proximity to Tarangire National Park allows a range of activities that include:
  • nature walks
  • foot safaris and extended bush trekking with rangers
  • all exhilarating ways to get back to the primeval state of nature
  • uncovering the dens, feeding habits and waterholes of the African wildlife and learning more about the symbiotic intricacies of the eco-system that surrounds you.
The Maasais invite you into their homesteads for an insight into the customs and lifestyle of this fascinating ethnic group or to join in the traditional dancing around the campfire lit in the kraal area.
A community conservation fee is paid to the local villages for every passenger bednight and is used to develop community-chosen development projects such as schools, water boreholes, roads and dispensaries.
