andBeyond Klein’s Camp

Within the Klein’s Camp concession on the northeastern boundary of the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, andBeyond Klein’s Camp occupies a private 14,000-acre concession on the Kuka Hills ridge above the Serengeti plains, with a position that gives it access to the northern corridor of the wildebeest migration and the specific wildlife character of the Lamai Wedge — the triangular section of open country between the Mara River and the Kenyan border that delivers some of the most dramatic migration river crossings in the entire ecosystem. The ten thatched cottages are positioned on the ridge with views across the Serengeti’s golden plains in a design that draws on the colonial East African safari aesthetic without reproducing it uncritically. The private concession’s traversal rights give guests access to territory not shared with the national park’s public vehicle traffic.

Game drives in the Klein’s Camp concession and into the Serengeti’s northern extension benefit from the low vehicle density of the private zone and the guiding team’s specific knowledge of the migration’s northern passage routes, which differ meaningfully from the southern and central Serengeti routes used by most visitors. Walking safaris in the concession under the guidance of a senior Trails Ranger, balloon safaris over the plains at dawn, and night drives in the concession provide the programme framework alongside the standard morning and evening vehicle drives. The kitchen’s menus draw on Tanzanian produce and the East African cooking traditions of the safari camp, with the outdoor boma dinner providing the social culmination of each day’s wildlife experience.

andBeyond Klein’s Camp’s conservation contribution to the Serengeti ecosystem includes active anti-poaching work along the northern concession boundary, where the pressure from the communities adjacent to the national park requires consistent and professional wildlife protection to maintain the corridor’s wildlife populations at the densities that make the migration passage through this section of the Serengeti productive for all forms of wildlife tourism.
