Location and surroundings

Kubu Kubu Tented Lodge stands elevated on a hill in the central Serengeti. From almost all areas of the property, the view extends far across the plains around the Seronera Valley. The region is one of Tanzania’s most wildlife-rich areas and offers good conditions for game drives in Serengeti National Park at any time of year. The lodge is secluded but easy to reach: it is 80 kilometres from the Seronera Airstrip and around 324 kilometres from Arusha, which is about a six-hour drive. Well-known safari routes through the Serengeti are right on the doorstep.

If you are looking for further accommodation in this region of the Serengeti, you will find a selection on the Central Serengeti lodges page.

Rooms and facilities

The lodge’s 25 tents stand on solid platforms. You can choose from Suite Rooms, Interconnected Rooms and Quadruple Rooms, depending on whether you are travelling as a couple, with family or with friends. Each tent has large beds, its own bathroom, an outdoor shower and a private terrace with views over the plains. Inside, natural materials and warm colours create a pleasant feel. In the open restaurant and at the bar with panoramic views, you round off the safari day. At the infinity pool you relax between game drives with views into the Serengeti.

Nkoaranga Orphanage

The Nkoaranga orphanage at the foot of Mount Meru has existed since 1997; around 30 children up to the age of three live there with 12 carers. Instead of a fixed contribution, Wildfinder Safaris regularly buys supplies for the orphanage: groceries, toiletries and similar items.
