Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best way to get to Kubu Kubu Tented Lodge from Arusha, and what should we expect upon arrival?

We always recommend flying into the Seronera Airstrip for the most seamless arrival. From there, it's a short, scenic drive to the lodge, where you'll be greeted with cool towels and a refreshing drink. The lodge staff are incredibly welcoming, making you feel instantly at home in the heart of the Serengeti.

We're considering a hot air balloon safari from Kubu Kubu. Is it worth the splurge, and what's the experience like?

Absolutely. A hot air balloon safari over the Serengeti at sunrise is an unforgettable experience we cherish. Floating silently above the plains as the sun climbs, spotting wildlife from a unique vantage point, is pure magic. We recommend booking this well in advance, especially during peak migration seasons.

What kind of wildlife can we realistically expect to see on game drives originating from Kubu Kubu, and are there any specific times of year that are better?

Kubu Kubu is perfectly positioned for incredible wildlife viewing year-round. While the Great Migration is a major draw, you'll consistently see lions, leopards, elephants, and giraffes. For the migration itself, we find June through October offers the most dramatic river crossings, but the resident wildlife is always spectacular.

Beyond game drives, what other activities does Kubu Kubu offer that we should prioritize?

We love the bush breakfasts Kubu Kubu arranges; dining under the vast African sky is a treat. Their sundowners are also a must, offering spectacular sunset views with a cocktail in hand. And if you need to unwind after exhilarating drives, the spa offers a tranquil escape.

Given Kubu Kubu's luxury status, what's the general atmosphere and accommodation like?

The lodge feels luxurious and timeless, with beautifully appointed tents that offer incredible comfort without sacrificing the authentic safari feel. Expect spacious interiors, private verandas with stunning views, and excellent service. It's the perfect blend of indulgence and immersion in the wild.
