Leaving behind the herds of inquisitive travellers during the Great Migration is no small feat - and that’s where Namiri Plains comes into its own. Open year round, this sophisticated hideaway sits in a secluded section of the eastern Serengeti with not another camp or tourist in sight. Think seamlessly-moulded calcrete rooms, a natural and perfectly soothing colour palette, and fabulous alfresco bathtubs. Truly the perfect spot from which to watch the Great Migration and the infamous big cats of the region without compromising on privacy and authenticity.

Namiri has 10 ensuite tents, all strategically placed to maximise the views. Bush immersion is the name of the game and the soothing decor invites total relaxation – aided by the outdoor bathtubs and enormous, shaded verandas. The area around the camp is a hive of activity and you’re never far from the action (even in your tent), so we advise you to keep your peepers peeled at all times…
Namiri is the perfect mix of elegant interiors and remote wilderness. You’ll wonder how all these beautiful items made it here in one piece!
After many years of being closed, this area of the Serengeti reopened in 2014 and the safari company that owns Namiri is the only one that’s allowed to operate meaning total privacy and exclusivity for you.
Namiri is certainly sophisticated but it’s also really quite remote and the surrounds can be tricky to navigate in the dark.
