Namiri Plains sits on a stretch of the eastern Serengeti that was closed to tourism for over twenty years to allow cheetah research to continue undisturbed, and remains one of the most reliable areas in the ecosystem for cheetah sightings.
Spacious tented suites with private verandas facing the open plains, furnished in Asilia’s characteristic contemporary style.
A strong, contemporary dining programme served with wide plains views.
Game drives across the Namiri Plains’ open grassland, benefiting from decades of cheetah research data that inform guiding.
Namiri’s long closure to tourism allowed cheetah, lion and leopard populations to establish themselves with minimal disturbance, and sightings here remain exceptional.
Namiri’s open, termite-mound-studded plains give cheetah excellent vantage points for hunting, often visible from a considerable distance for wide-angle composition.
Namiri’s history as a dedicated cheetah research area continues to inform Tanzania National Parks’ understanding of cheetah ecology across the wider Serengeti.
