Klein's Camp is a small luxury lodge in Loliondo right on the eastern boundary of the northern Serengeti. Klein's, like the other And Beyond properties, caters very much for the luxury end of the market. There are 10 stone built cottages with thatched roofs, all very comfortable and well designed with wooden floors, private verandas and en suite bathrooms. There is a large well furnished central bar & dining area with imposing views over the Kleins conservancy as well as a decent swimming pool. Service and attention to detail is tip top and this is somewhere you can expect to want for little, in fact if we were being picky we might suggest it's perhaps all a bit TOO squeaky clean…Some people might crave a little 'roughness around the edges' after too long here. One of the main advantages of this area and indeed the whole of Loliondo is the fact that there are so few other people around, so in all likelihood, other than fellow guests, the only people you'll come across will be the local Maasai to whom the broader area belongs, although they and their herds are denied access to the immediate Kleins area.
Being a private concession area, and outside the Serengeti National Park, it's able not only to provide game drives but also walks and nightdrives, which are great for leopard in this area. The position of Klein's means that it's well placed for accessing the Serengeti (the Kleins entry gate is hardly a mile behind camp), from where Bologonja is easily accessible as is the Mara River, towards Kogatende on a fuller day trip. You need to be aware that activities here are shared, with a maximum of 7 people per vehicle so don’t expect to have a private vehicle as standard.

Loliondo could perhaps be described as the Serengeti with fewer rules, offering as it does excellent walking safaris, night drives and for much of the year rewarding game viewing. Spanning the entire eastern edge of the Serengeti National Park, it's a critical part of the whole ecosystem - yet visited by remarkably few tourists. Loliondo is actually a huge Maasai community area but in our opinion is worth treating as a separate park because the range of safari activities on offer here is significantly greater than those within the Serengeti National Park boundaries. For much of the year, you'll find that we recommend that you divide your stay in both the Serengeti and Loliondo, staying at camps like Nomad's Nduara Loliondo. The intention here is that you get to see the wildebeest migration whilst also experiencing the wilder side of this stunning area. Read more?
Tanzania safaris rival a safari any other country in Africa in terms of sheer wilderness, formidable landscapes and volume of wildlife. At Natural High, we have travelled all over the country, worked in some of its best Tanzania safari camps and lodges and flown all over as bush pilots so we feel qualified to venture such opinions.
