Light aircraft from Arusha to Lobo Airstrip (~2 hrs flight time) then ~90–120 min game-viewer transfer to camp; self-drive feasible but most guests fly between northern circuit stops.
Valley-edge cottages catch the widest panorama and sunrise light, cottages tucked closer to the lounge and dining suit easier walking in the heat, the Family Cottage links two cottages via an enclosed walkway and is the pick for families wanting proximity with privacy.
Wholesome, sense-of-place menus using vegetables from the camp’s shamba, breakfasts on the terrace after drive, salad-and-grill lunches by the pool, and fire-lit dinners in the stone dining room; guests often mention pot-bread from the coals, Tanzanian curry nights and nyama choma.
Breathable long sleeves for sun and dust on open hillsides, a light windproof for cool night drives, closed shoes for rocky paths, a small headlamp, and a power bank for cameras between game drives.
Ask for a shamba-to-table dinner featuring produce from the camp garden, plan one long night drive to work the marsh and hills for hyena, leopard and civet, and if migration reports are promising, request a first-light run towards Lobo and the valley below camp.
Off-road protocols and limited vehicle density protect sensitive marsh and woodland while keeping sightings close; guides log predator and raptor data from the Kuka cliffs. Through &Beyond’s Wild Impact the lodge supports education and water projects with Maasai communities neighbouring the concession.
