Nat Hab’s Serengeti East Camp is a mobile camp set along the Nyabogati River near prime big cat territory. Tucked among fever and acacia trees and with no other camp in sight for miles, our own private retreat provides exceptional seclusion. Featuring stylish bush accommodations exclusively for Nat Hab guests, the camp offers easy access to Namiri Plains, an area that was restricted to visitors for two decades in order to rehabilitate cheetah habitat. Surrounded by kopjes—large granite outcrops that dot the plains and are favored by big cats—the camp offers fabulous wildlife viewing, particularly of the abundant feline predators that live and hunt in this area. 

Seven canvas safari tents offer the utmost in comfort and privacy. Each tent has two twin beds that can be combined to make a king-size bed appointed in colorful, Tanzanian-made blankets, electrical outlets to charge devices, an en suite bathroom with flush toilet, hot water and safari-style bucket showers, and a secluded outdoor sitting area with shade netting. Wi-Fi is available throughout camp.

A common lounge offers a relaxed gathering space, perfect for convivial encounters after exciting game drives. The dining area is the scene for delicious traditional fare like creamy mtori plantain soup, and vegetables and meat sourced from Tanzanian farms. Given the camp's prime location along the Nyambogati River, wildlife is abundant, and we often spot animals directly from camp while sitting with a book or sipping a gin and tonic from the fully stocked bar. Big cat sightings are unrivaled in this area, which is a hub for scientific predator research.

Powered by solar and mobile batteries and operating with portable sewage tanks, the camp is light on the land, following a leave-no-trace ethos when it packs up seasonally to follow the next stage of the Great Migration.
