Enjoy a leisurely game drive through the park, where you'll likely spot elephants, zebras, wildebeest, buffalo, lions, and a variety of birdlife. During the dry season, Tarangire’s river becomes a vital water source, attracting large concentrations of animals.
After your adventure in the park, continue your journey to the green hills of Karatu and check in at the luxurious Gibb’s Farm — a tranquil retreat on the edge of the Ngorongoro Highlands.

Begin your day with a freshly prepared breakfast at Gibb’s Farm, surrounded by lush vegetation and the songs of early morning birds. After check-out, embark on a scenic journey toward the Serengeti National Park, traveling via the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Along the way, stop at the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater for a brief photo opportunity and panoramic views of this ancient volcanic caldera — one of Africa’s natural wonders.
As you descend from the highlands, the landscape begins to open up into the vast golden plains of the Serengeti. This iconic savannah is home to an astounding diversity of wildlife and is especially famous for the Great Migration and its concentration of predators.
Enjoy a game drive en route to your camp in the eastern Serengeti, where the grasslands stretch endlessly and predator sightings — especially lions and cheetahs — are frequent. Arrive at Namiri Plains, an exclusive Asilia Africa camp located in a remote area long closed to the public to allow cheetah populations to recover. The result is one of the best big cat viewing locations in Africa.

Wake up early to the sounds of the Serengeti as you prepare for your first full day exploring the remote Eastern Serengeti. After a hearty breakfast, set out in an open 4x4 vehicle with your expert guide for morning game drives through this predator-rich landscape.
Namiri Plains is renowned for its high concentration of lions, cheetahs, and leopards, offering some of the most thrilling wildlife encounters in Tanzania. The camp’s location within a former cheetah research area means fewer vehicles and a more intimate safari experience. Your guide will tailor the route based on recent sightings and your interests, ensuring the best possible encounters.
Return to camp mid-morning to relax by the infinity pool or enjoy a light snack before a leisurely lunch, served either in the dining tent or al fresco on the deck overlooking the plains.
In the afternoon, venture out again for a second game drive, as many animals become more active in the cooler hours. Watch for prides of lions lounging in the acacia trees, cheetahs sprinting after prey, or elephants wandering across the savannah.
As the sun sets, enjoy a sunset cocktail at a scenic lookout, then return to camp for a gourmet dinner featuring fresh, locally sourced ingredients.
Optional activities include guided bush walks to explore the smaller flora and fauna or a relaxing spa treatment.
After an early morning game drive or optional sunrise balloon safari (arranged in advance), enjoy breakfast back at camp. Spend the rest of the morning at leisure — relax in your spacious tent, take photographs from your private deck, or enjoy the camp’s amenities.
In the afternoon, head out for another game drive, exploring different parts of the Eastern Serengeti. Your guide will seek out unique wildlife behaviors, rare bird species, and captivating landscapes.
