  • Luxury, privacy, and exclusivity in the wilderness.

The Detail

Namiri Plains’ upgraded design maximizes views of the seasonal riverbed in front of the camp. This secluded region of the eastern Serengeti is the ultimate big cat territory. For a few months each year, the Great Migration herds fill the plains close to camp as they travel to the south for calving.

The camp features ten spacious, stylish tented suites, including one family tent, all overlooking the Serengeti plains. Since the 2019 refurbishment, the tents are larger and include sliding doors that run the full width of each room, opening onto an expanded viewing deck. The walls are made from calcrete, a sedimentary rock formed from the ashes of the Ngorongoro volcanoes, which helps regulate the indoor temperature. Interiors are decorated with natural materials and tones. Each bathroom offers a stunning view of the plains, complemented by a standalone resin tub on your private deck for an al fresco bubble bath paired with a chilled glass of fizz.

All food is prepared fresh in camp, including homemade bread, biscuits, and muffins. Breakfast consists of a continental buffet or a full English meal. Lunch is a light buffet with salads or fresh vegetables. A three-course dinner is served later in the dining tent or under the stars.

Current offers

Special offer available.

Last minute

Travel within six weeks of booking and the highest dynamic discount tier is guaranteed, at 25 per cent off the standard rate. Available year-round, subject to availability, and not combinable with the long-stay or seven-night transfer offers.

Long stay

Stay five nights or more across Asilia's camps and reduced long-stay rates apply, with savings of up to 25 per cent: in green and low season, 15 per cent off for five nights or more and 25 per cent off for eight nights or more; in high season, 7 per cent off for five nights or more and 15 per cent off for eight nights or more. The nights need not be consecutive and may be split between camps, but July and August are excluded. This offer cannot be combined with the seven-night transfer offer or the last-minute offer. Alternatively, book seven or more consecutive nights across Asilia properties, with a minimum of two adults and at least two nights per camp, and all in-country transfers on shared scheduled flights and road transfers are included, with routing designed by Asilia; this arrangement combines only with the repeat-guest discount.

Family

Children aged five to eighteen sharing with adults pay 50 per cent of the accommodation rate, and in green and low season one child aged eighteen or under sharing with an adult stays free. Families of five or more travelling with children aged five to twelve receive a complimentary private vehicle on a game-package basis, prebooked and subject to availability, and in green and low season this also extends to smaller families with children of that age. Park, conservation and camping fees remain payable, and the offer runs year-round but cannot be combined with the seven-night transfer offer.

Knows Namiri Plains backwards. Your direct contact from first enquiry to the day you come home.

"Very helpful with itinerary and excellent arrangements of transport from and to Cape Town, and Idubi in Sabi Sands and Lukimbi in Kruger. Although a rep for Safari.com said a letter from a doctor was not required, such a letter IS REQUIRED to go on bush walks if older than 65. Fortunately, we checked the reserve web site and had a doctor's letter."
