Kikoti Camp- Tarangire Conservation area.

Kikoti a Maa word “the place where life began” got its name from the local Maasai upon an ancient pre-Jurassic Kopje in the Tarangire ecosystem, in recognition of its enduring permanence and dominant status in the surrounding ecosystem. When owners of Kikati Camp began working with local communities in the area, it appeared to be the right name for the new safari camp, showing respect for the Maasai community that have been travelling around the area for generations, and the owners admiration for the game-rich wilderness in which the camp is situated.

For every client, a Community conservation fee is paid to the local villages and this fee is used to up lift the status of community-chosen development projects, for example water boreholes, dispensaries, schools as well as roads. The camp provides an opportunity for every intimate encounter with the wildlife and people of Tanzania because of the fact that it is situated in a remote place, open wilderness, offers unassuming luxury, plus room to move around the area.

All the ten tents have sewn-in floors and plumbed en-suite facilities, and have been laid out in the traditional safari manner with wooden beds, fresh linen and a veranda from which to admire the views of the Silale wetlands in the below. The tents have been raised on platforms of natural timber and appointed with good views of the plum-purple sunsets smeared across the opening savannah. The camp has got good bathroom facilities, which include flush toilets and showers.
