Nat Hab’s Serengeti East Camp

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 Tanzania-made blankets, electrical outlets to charge devices, an en suite bathroom with flush toilet, hot water and safari-style bucket showers, plus a secluded outdoor sitting area with shade netting. Wi-Fi is available throughout camp.

The 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's footprint is light on the land.
