Namiri Plains

PLAN MY TRIP

Located in the expansive grasslands of the eastern Serengeti, Namiri Plains allows guests to enjoy this remote region in style.

Accommodations at this intimate and exclusive camp feature eight elegantly-appointed and spacious tents. Each tent has comfortable king-sized beds dressed in crisp linens. The spacious en-suite bathrooms feature hot and cold running water, flush toilets, and both indoor and outdoor showers. There is also one family tent, perfect for two adults and two children. The private, shaded verandas are the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy views of the spectacular plains. Other amenities include a fan, dressing gown, and tea/coffee.

Namiri Plains is located in the remote eastern Serengeti, which was closed to visitors for twenty years in order to encourage cheetah to breed. In 2014, the region reopened with Asilia appointed as its custodian. Now it is a haven where the cheetah roam the plains and hunt their ample prey. Guests can now observe these magnificent sprinters in action as well as excellent populations of lion and leopard, who frequent the area and can often be seen resting on the rocky kopjes. Because the Ngare Nanyuki, an underground river, creates pockets of permanent water, the area also supports high concentrations of resident plains game. From October to May, the sweet grass of the savanna is a big draw for wildebeest. During the rainy season from March to April/May, the area attracts some of the highest concentrations of hyena in Africa, with clans of up to thirty that can be observed scavenging on kills.

There are plenty of exciting activities to choose from. Morning and afternoon game drives are led by expert guides in either a seven-seater open-sided vehicle with canvas roof or a five-seater closed vehicle with pop-up roof. Walking safaris provide an intimate and up-close view of the plains, as guides show how to track the animals. Hot air balloon rides glide peacefully above the Serengeti for panoramic views of the landscape and wildlife below. For a unique opportunity, guests can search the plains for cheetah sightings before meeting up with a local cheetah researcher to compare notes and learn more about these beautiful and endangered creatures. Bush breakfasts and picnic lunches and dinners are delicious ways to enjoy a game drive in style.

Back at camp, the main area includes a comfortable lounge complete with elegant sofas and open views of the plains. There is also outdoor seating, perfect for relaxing under the shade of an acacia tree with a book and a cool drink. The camp chef bakes delectable homemade breads, biscuits, and muffins daily. The day begins with either a Continental or full English breakfast. Then light buffet-style lunches or picnics precede a full three-course, silver service dinner served in the dining tent or under the African skies.
