Asilia - Namiri Plains

Asilia Namiri Plains lies in a remote stretch of the eastern Serengeti where the grasslands roll endlessly toward the horizon and wildlife moves with a quiet sense of freedom. For decades this area was closed to tourism to protect fragile cheetah populations, and that legacy of conservation still defines the camp today. The result is a safari setting that feels uncrowded and deeply wild, where encounters with predators are not staged or rushed, but unfold naturally across open plains.

The camp is designed to mirror the landscape rather than dominate it. Tented suites sit low against the earth, blending canvas, wood, and neutral tones that echo the colors of the Serengeti. Each suite opens toward sweeping views, with private decks that invite long stretches of stillness between drives. Interiors balance softness and simplicity, offering comfort without distraction, so that the outside world remains the true centerpiece.

Namiri Plains is especially renowned for its big cat sightings. Cheetahs, lions, and leopards thrive in this predator rich ecosystem, and guiding here is focused, patient, and respectful of the animals’ space. Game drives move through wide open country where visibility stretches for miles, allowing guests to witness the drama and calm of the Serengeti in equal measure. Evenings return to camp with lantern light, shared meals, and the distant calls of wildlife carrying across the plains.

More than anything, Namiri Plains offers a sense of rare access. It is a place shaped by conservation success, thoughtful design, and the privilege of being present in a landscape that still feels untouched. Days feel expansive, unhurried, and grounded in the rhythms of the Serengeti itself, creating a safari experience defined by space, silence, and extraordinary wildlife encounters.
