Serengeti Kusini Airstrip: Gateway to the South

Serengeti Kusini (Southern Serengeti) Airstrip is a seasonal aviation hub that comes alive during the first quarter of the year. It is the primary airstrip for the wildebeest calving season (January to March) on the short-grass plains of the Southern Serengeti.

Landing at Kusini places you in the heart of the great plains, where millions of animals gather to give birth. The area is also famous for its high concentration of cheetahs, who thrive in the open, flat terrain. From here, you are perfectly positioned to reach lodges around the Ndutu area and the southern short-grass plains.
