After being off-limits to tourists for two decades due to big-cat research, this area of the eastern Serengeti now boasts an incredible density of predators. The recently upgraded Namiri Plains has been designed to maximize views of the water source in front of the camp. Its 10 elegant and spacious tents, each with its own veranda and private outdoor bath, provide an ideal setting to observe the wildlife that gathers to drink. When the Great Migration passes through, the plains come alive with massive herds heading south to calve, closely followed by the big cats that prey on them.
