Namiri Plains: Your Guide to Tanzania’s Top Cheetah Safari
If seeing cheetahs in the wild is on your Tanzania safari wishlist, look no further than Namiri Plains. Tucked into a quiet eastern corner of the Serengeti, this exclusive camp sits in an area once set aside for cheetah conservation—and today, it offers what many call the finest cheetah viewing in all of Africa.
A Conservation Success Story
For twenty years, this part of the Serengeti was closed to visitors, allowing cheetah numbers to recover in peace. Now cared for by Asilia Africa, Namiri Plains welcomes travelers to witness the results: healthy cheetah families, thriving big cat populations, and landscapes untouched by mass tourism.
What You’ll Experience at Namiri Plains
✔ World-Class Cheetah Sightings
This is cheetah country. Spend your days observing these graceful cats—resting, socializing, and sometimes hunting—in wide-open plains with very few other vehicles around.
✔ More Than Just Cheetahs
Lions and spotted hyenas are also plentiful here, along with year-round resident wildlife. From November to May, the Great Migration sweeps through the eastern plains, adding thousands of wildebeest and zebra to the scene.
✔ Exclusive & Peaceful Setting
With only eight tents, the camp is intimate and quiet. Enjoy stunning views from your private veranda, sunrise breakfasts atop Soit Le Motonyi rock, and the profound silence of the remote Serengeti.
✔ Ideal for Returning Safari Travelers
Namiri Plains is perfect if you value depth over checklist sightings. Its remoteness rewards patience—you can spend hours quietly watching animal behavior without interruption.
Planning Your Stay
Many visitors pair Namiri Plains with a mobile camp following the Great Migration, or combine it with the Ngorongoro Crater for a complete Northern Tanzania safari experience.
Rates & Booking
A night at Namiri Plains starts at $1,345 per person. This includes your tent, all meals, select drinks, and daily game drives.
