Before Namiri Plains existed, these vast grasslands in Tanzania were closed off to visitors for over 20 years to help the cheetah population recover. This was a hugely successful conservation effort, and today, the area is home to healthy populations of elephants, zebras, giraffes, and many other animals.

Namiri Plains is now a remote and much-loved camp that offers an excellent base for a safari. The camp’s design is beautiful, with graceful tented roofs, luxurious outdoor tubs, and a deep-blue pool overlooking the endless Serengeti landscape.

Located by the Ngare Nanyuki River, the camp offers plenty of ways to relax. You can spend a sultry afternoon by the pool, indulge at the spa, or find a good book in the library, which is filled with fascinating materials about big cats and conservation.

We highly recommend enjoying a cocktail on your private deck and watching the incredible cloud formations that only the Serengeti sky can produce. Completely refurbished in 2019, Namiri Plains runs entirely on solar power, although after each breathtaking sunset, you’ll find that the stars alone are enough to light up your night.

Serengeti Bushtops is an intimate luxury camp surrounded by the wildlife-rich plains of the northern Serengeti. Its 15 exceptionally spacious tented suites are carefully positioned for privacy and panoramic sunset views, allowing guests to watch wildlife moving across the savannah from their private decks. Each suite combines refined safari elegance with a sunken lounge, private hot tub and personalised butler service, offering exceptional comfort beneath canvas.

Days are spent exploring the Serengeti on private game drives before returning for sundowners, fireside drinks and fine dining accompanied by the sounds of the bush. For an extraordinary private adventure, The Beest—Bushtops’ exclusive custom-built 6×6 expedition vehicle—features heated oversized seats, personal fridges, a fully equipped kitchen, fold-out bar, high-pressure shower and a spacious rooftop bed for sleeping beneath the Serengeti sky.

The Serengeti Explorer represents a flawless fusion of contemporary innovation and the eternal spirit of the wild.
