Perched in the prestigious heart of the Central Serengeti, our Executive Suites are a masterclass in refined seclusion. Each residence serves as a private gallery to the wild, featuring floor-to-ceiling vistas that offer a front-row seat to the rhythmic pulse of the Serengeti plains.
Every detail has been meticulously curated to harmonize modern sophistication with the raw, untamed spirit of the African landscape. From the tactile elegance of the furnishings to the intuitive integration of high-end amenities, these suites are designed as a serene sanctuary for the discerning traveler. At Serengeti Sametu Camp, we invite you to move beyond the traditional safari and immerse yourself in a world where ultimate comfort is the natural standard.
Heady days in the Serengeti are a masterclass in wildlife immersion, gracefully bookended by bespoke game drives led by your Bush 2 City Safari Director. With an intuitive mastery of the terrain, your guide orchestrates the search for the savanna’s apex predators—from prides of lion and sprinting cheetah to the shadow-dwelling leopard. Thanks to the region’s permanent underground springs, the landscape serves as a prestigious watering hole for elephant, zebra, and reedbuck, offering consistent, high-drama viewing from the comfort of your suite.
For those who seek a deeper connection, walking safaris reveal the intricate tapestry of the ecosystem, from rare avifauna to the fascinating world of the Serengeti’s smaller inhabitants. Elevate your perspective with a private hot air balloon expedition for an awe-inspiring macro-view of the plains, or engage in a high-level briefing with a researcher from The Serengeti Cheetah Project for an exclusive insider’s vantage point.
Photography enthusiasts will find their sanctuary in our custom-engineered photographic vehicles, featuring 360-degree swivel seating and precision camera rests designed to capture the perfect shot. Between expeditions, retreat to the private spa or the infinity pool, where the scenic deck offers a tranquil space to reflect on the day’s discoveries.
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.
