Details

Kubu Kubu Tented Lodge represents the next generation of Serengeti luxury. Situated on a prominent ridge, the lodge offers some of the most spectacular panoramas in the park. The design is clean and contemporary, utilizing large wooden platforms and canvas siding to blend “modern convenience” with an authentic “under-canvas” atmosphere.

 

The main lodge is set on a hilltop hub, housing a stylish lounge, bar, library, and dining tent—all designed to maximize the glorious views over the woodlands and plains below. After a day on safari, guests can enjoy a drink at the fire pit or take a dip in the rim-flow infinity pool, which feels as though it spills directly into the Serengeti horizon.

The Central Gateway

Kubu Kubu is strategically positioned to offer the best of the Central Serengeti. Its elevated location on the ridge provides a 360-degree perspective of the surrounding ecosystem, making it a perfect base for year-round wildlife viewing.

 

The Tactical Advantage:

  • Seronera Proximity: You are just minutes away from the Seronera River Valley, widely considered the finest wildlife viewing destination on earth.
  • Inclusive Hospitality: To enhance the guest experience, house drinks—including local beers, house wines, and spirits—are complimentary throughout your stay.

 

Strategic Accessibility: Ideally located for exploring both the Central and Western regions of the park.

Predator Circuits & Rhino Sanctuaries

The lodge serves as a primary launchpad for the most famous game loops in the Central and Southwest regions:

  • Makoma Hill: Located nearby in the Seronera Valley, the wooded Makoma Hill is a haven for giraffe, elephant, and buffalo. The plains below are a legendary hunting ground for cheetahs and hyenas. Guests can visit the Thatch Kopjes, a known den site for the local lion pride, to witness the intense competition between the Serengeti’s apex predators.
  • Moru Kopjes: A short drive southwest leads to the iconic Moru Kopjes, the only place in the park to spot the rare Black Rhino. Guests can visit the Serengeti Rhino Project visitor’s center to learn about conservation efforts or hike to Gong Rock to view ancient Maasai rock paintings.
  • Lake Magadi: Just east of Moru, this saline lake is a kaleidoscope of pink as thousands of flamingos gather in its soda-rich waters.

 

Retina Hippo Pool: Located nearby in the Seronera Valley, this is the best spot in the park to see hundreds of hippos submerged in a deep river pool.

The Ridge-Top Suites

The lodge features 25 spacious guest tents, each encompassing approximately 500 square feet of internal living space and positioned for maximum privacy.

 

The Guest Experience:

  • Modern Refinement: Tents are appointed with beautiful hardwood floors, large four-poster beds, and rich furnishings. Unlike traditional camps, Kubu Kubu offers 24-hour electricity and multiple power outlets for charging gear.
  • Expansive Balconies: Every tent features a private balcony with wide-angle views. It is common to see giraffe, impala, or buffalo grazing directly below your deck.
  • The Outdoor Shower: En suite bathrooms include a double washbasin, flushing toilet, and a unique outdoor tiled shower that allows you to bathe under the Serengeti sky.
  • Solar-Powered Comfort: The lodge is eco-conscious, utilizing solar-heated water with a reliable backup system to ensure hot water is always available.
  • Infinity Pool: Often cited as one of the best pools in the Serengeti for wildlife viewing while you swim.
  • Complimentary House Drinks: Enjoy the sunset with a selection of local beers and house wines and spirits included in your stay.
  • Contemporary Chic: A fresh, bright atmosphere that caters to the modern traveler seeking both adventure and sophisticated comfort.
  • 24/7 Power: Reliable electricity for all devices, a rare luxury for tented accommodations in this region.
