Sanctuary Kusini Camp

The main area is set on an elegant chevron-shaped timber deck perched around an imposing rocky outcrop. To one side is a bar and dining area, and on the other a comfortable lounge faces out over the plains. The decor is sleek and understated, in natural colours, the deck has comfortable seating, and there's a well-stocked library. Evenings are spent around the campfire under the stars. There's wi-fi in the main area, and every morsel of food is delectable.

Kusini has 12 beautifully appointed timber and canvas tents well spaced among the boulders for maximum seclusion. Each has a private viewing deck designed to make the most of the views over the game-rich plains. The en-suite bathrooms have twin basins and hot running water for the showers. Dark polished wooden floors, raw African textiles and crisp linens under mosquito nets give a timeless feel, and each tent is serviced by a private butler, adding a generous touch of luxury.

Stylish camping East African-style, with every luxury at your fingertips. The game viewing was worthy of a David Attenborough documentary, and sharing our cheetah observations and images with the research team helped us feel like we'd contributed to the project.
