Namiri Plains Camp

Luxury Holidays At Namiri Plains Camp

For unparalleled privacy on your luxury Tanzania safari, Namiri Plains Camp nestles in a remote corner of the Eastern Serengeti, an area that, for twenty years, was closed to visitors to allow the cheetah population to replenish. Reopened and thriving, it is now the ultimate destination to view big cats. As well as housing one of East Africa's largest densities of endangered cheetah, there is a prolific population of lion, leopard and other game. Head out on complimentary game drives, walking safaris or specialist photographic safaris with local experts, while if you visit during November and June, you’ll likely glimpse the spectacular Great Migration of zebra and wildebeest. Ten spacious, newly-renovated tented suites promise panoramic plains views and all the comforts you may need, while other camp facilities include a library, research centre, swimming pool, spa tent and bustling communal dining area. With all meals included in your rate, get ready to enjoy delicious cuisine prepared fresh by the onsite chefs. Begin the day with a tempting buffet-style breakfast – including freshly baked bread, biscuits and muffins – before a light lunch at camp or gourmet picnic amid the bush. Dinner is a three-course affair served beneath the stars.

Safari

Hop into the open-sided safari vehicles – complete with power points and fridges – and head out on unforgettable twice-daily game drives with Namiri Plains’ outstanding guides. The area surrounding the camp offer perhaps the ultimate big cat viewing experience, inviting you to spot lion, leopard and cheetah as they roam undisturbed, as well as a range of other glorious game and wildlife species. Stop between sightings to enjoy a gourmet picnic amid the plains or finish your afternoon game drive with sundowners overlooking the bush. Meanwhile, walking safaris offer a more intimate bush experience, placing you at eye-level with the wildlife. Photography enthusiasts will love the specialist photographic safari (available at an additional cost) in a vehicle equipped with drop-down sides, 360-degree swivel seats, beanbags and camera rests.

Wildlife Encounters

A favourite gathering place for a wealth of wildlife, the camp is surrounded by several natural water sources, making the chances of spotting animals from your tent deck likely. As well as the adrenaline-pumping safari activities, you can meet with a local cheetah researcher to learn more about these endangered big cats and their history in the Eastern Serengeti. What's more, if you visit during November and June, you'll be in with a good chance of spotting the Great Migration of zebra and wildebeest. Thousands of animals make their way to this area to feast on the lush grasses, and Namiri Plains has a front-row seat to the epic natural show.

Spa Breaks

Tucked behind a grove of acacias, the serene Asilia Spa is the perfect spot to unwind after an exhilarating day on safari. A menu of treatments nod to local traditions, specially designed to enhance the wellbeing of both the body and mind.
