Serengeti National Park, Tanzania
Nyasi Tented Camp
Explore the wilderness of the northern Serengeti at your own pace
Tucked into the northern corner of the Serengeti, Nyasi Tented Camp occupies a quiet location within Tanzania’s Lamai Wedge in East Africa, right in the heart of the migratory route for thousands of animals during the Great Wildebeest Migration.
Thanks to its prime position, you’re granted unrivalled access to the mighty Mara River. Join your expert guide on private game drives to witness enormous herds of zebras, wildebeest and gazelles, brave churning waters and predators on their quest for lusher pastures.
Year-round, there’s also plenty of other exciting wildlife to spot. You might see elephants, buffaloes and spotted hyenas roaming the rolling savannah, or powerful big cats such as lions and cheetahs skulking through tall grass. Watch them wander across the tawny plains as you soar silently over the bush on a hot air balloon ride.
Back at Nyasi Tented Camp, you’ll feel as much a part of the landscape as you do on a game drive. Its tented rooms are all surrounded by the Serengeti’s sprawling grasslands after which the camp is named – nyasi, the Swahili word for ‘grass.’ Sitting beneath lofty acacia trees, they feature interiors decorated with natural linens and textures inspired by the earthy colours of the wilderness.
You can dine on-site, in one of Nyasi’s al fresco areas where views pan out to the bush. Or indulge in gourmet picnics and breakfasts during game drives, deep within Tanzania’s untamed landscape.

Places to combine Nyasi Tented Camp with
Ngorongoro Crater
Perched up high on the edge of this remarkable natural wonder, the Ngorongoro Crater Lodge holds a prime position. With views spanning the spectacular caldera, you can enjoy a relaxing visit to this otherwise bustling attraction and dip into a world that’s the permanent home to roughly 25,000 animals.
The huge amounts of game that find sanctuary here roam over 20 kilometres on the crater floor and this allows for some excellent game viewing opportunities. Prides of bachelor lions are sometimes seen spanning the landscape, on the hunt for their own families and, dotted among the plains game, you might be lucky enough to spot a rhino in the distance. Morning and afternoon game drives are taken by highly experienced guides with visits to the nearby Olduvai Gorge available when vehicle occupancy allows.
The crater itself can get quite busy but there’s a peaceful quiet that flows through the rooms, social areas and outside spaces of the lodge. North and South Camp both have twelve beautiful suites and the Tree Camp, slightly set apart from the others, has just six. Raised up on stilts, these rooms are all tastefully decorated with Tanzanian hardwoods and silk curtains which make the rooms cosy and warm; the ridge can get quite nippy, after all. The dining areas have viewing decks and comfortable indoor lounges which are ideal for catching up on some midday afternoon reading, or ticking off the birds that you might have seen so far. You could also decide to have a relaxing massage in your room, and completely pamper yourself.
