Prime Location in Big Cat Country
Namiri Plains is one of the top places in Serengeti National Park to see big cats. The sweeping grasslands attract cheetahs, lions, and leopards, while rarer cats such as serval and caracal also roam here. Because predators thrive, prey animals are plentiful. Expect to spot wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, and giraffe in large numbers.
In addition, guests can deepen their safari knowledge by joining researchers from the Serengeti Cheetah Project. These interactive evenings offer valuable insight into cheetah conservation and the challenges of protecting apex predators.
