Kikoti may well have been our favorite place to stay in Tanzania. It offers a way of experiencing the wilds of Tangire in a setting respectful of the natural setting but without roughing it too much. The staff is exceptionally welcoming and includes Masai men and women eager to share their culture. The tents are actually cabins on stilts with... More

What an incredible experience for Coletta to walk up your steps with your choice of beverage and to hear her say, "Good Morning, this is your wake up call". Then to enjoy that favorite beverage overlooking the Tarangire National Park on your own front porch. We spent 15 days in Tanzania including 3 nights at the Four Seasons and Kikoti... More

I think this tented camp was my favorite lodging place in Tanzania. It is operated by a darling young couple who are intent on making your stay perfect. The "tents" are actually cabins on stilts, with a large covered front porch, beautiful furniture in the main room and luxurious bath fixtures. Hot water and electricity make this seem far from...

We arrived at Kikoti Camp after a looonnng drive from Amboselli National Park and a tour of Tarangire National Park. How wonderful to step out of our safari vehicle and be greeted so warmly by the staff at Kikoti. Beginning with a cool cloth to wash off the dust and a cool and delicious drink to cool our throats we... More

We absolutely loved our 2 nights at Kikoti with Danny & Alice. It is worth mentioning here that we stayed at 5 different lodges in TZ and Danny and Alice are the only management team that we met, they made us feel like Friends from the time we entered the camp and that really carried through to all the staff....

We spent two nights at Kikoti as we explored the Tarangire national park. From the moment we arrived Danny and his team made us feel very welcome. It is hard to think that you are in fact staying under canvas as the accommodation is such luxury. The wood fired water heating worked a treat and the bed was very comfortable.... More

This lodge sumed up a safari lodge experience for us, the hosts were welcoming, the rooms excellent, location & view very good, restaurant & bar service good. The only negative was the food at dinner had limited choice & meat over cooked for our liking, but still tasty. Breakfast & lunch boxes excellent. Saw more elephant in tarangirie than I... More

The staff were very welcoming, friendly and gracious. It was a new experience for us and enjoyable. The food was ok but not great, there seemed to be a pattern of overcooking meats but maybe that is a good thing. It was fun to be escorted to the elevated tent after dinner because of the anticipation of some animal lunging... More

We stayed at Kikoti toward the beginning of our two-week northern Tanzania safari. It was our first tented camp experience.After staying at Kikoti, we did stay at more luxurious tented camps in the Serengeti. Nevertheless, we had a lovely time at Kikoti. The furnishings are not as fancy as some of the others, but there is something so perfect about... More
