overview

Namiri Plains is located in a remote corner of Serengeti National Park, where they work closely with big cat conservation initiatives. Beautifully refurbished in 2019, Namiri Plains is a standout option, especially if travelling between November and February when the Great Migration is nearby.

After many years of being closed, this area of the Serengeti reopened in 2014 and the safari company who owns Namiri is the only one that’s allowed to operate meaning total privacy and exclusivity.
