Asilia Africa’s Namiri Plains, Serengeti, Tanzania

Namiri Plains is one of Africa’s best locations for observing big cats. Located in the vast and remote grasslands of the eastern Serengeti, Namiri Plains provides a tranquil and secluded retreat within a wildlife-rich environment.

Enjoy a luxurious stay in one of 11 tented suites, including a recently refurbished family suite. Each suite features sliding doors, an expanded viewing deck, and an outdoor standalone resin bathtub. The suite’s stone walls are made of solidified ashes from ancient erupting volcanoes, which naturally provide insulation to keep you cool during the day and warm at night. The spacious and well-appointed interiors create a comfortable and welcoming environment, one that becomes difficult to leave. After returning from a game drive or walking safari, cool off in the refreshing swimming pool, or treat your muscles to a relaxing massage in the Asilia spa.

This is big cat country. Here, you can spot the majestic big cats such as lion, cheetah, and leopard, and sometimes the smaller serval and caracal. There is an abundance of plains game enjoying the grasslands and keeping the predator population well-fed. If you visit between October and May, you may be fortunate enough to witness the herds of the Great Migration of wildebeest and zebra, either as they pass camp during their journey south, or on a full day game drive to the short grass plains of the southern Serengeti.
