Nasikia Camps are an intimate collection of mobile and semi-permanent camps in the prime wildlife viewing areas of Tanzania's northern safari circuit where guests can experience the evocative destinations of Tarangire, the Serengeti plains, and the Mara River.

Nasikia Camps, and its tour operator arm Maasai Wanderings, were started by Tanzanian Naseeb “Nas” Mfinanga, and his Australian born wife Donna Duggan, with the aim of sharing their own intimate and authentic experience of their home country with visitors from around the world. Tragically,

Nas passed away last year, but Donna and the Nasikia Camps family continue to welcome visitors in his honour.

One particular camp, Ehlane Plains Camp, was a passion project for Nas, and though he did not live to see its completion, it now stands testament to him, and is a special destination for guests wanting to experience a very personal view of the Serengeti.

Ehlane Plains Camp sits in the far eastern plains of the Serengeti, a remote and wildlife-filled pocket of the savannah.

The camp offers eight tents designed to merge with the ecosystem, with clear vistas of the wilderness ahead. The camp is unfenced which means that the wildlife comes and goes as they will, giving visitors the thrill of a silver screen worthy safari from the comfort of their arm chair or bed.

Meaning “wilderness” in Zulu, Ehlane has embraced this wilderness concept by introducing Star-Gazer sleep out platforms (a first for the Serengeti plains), adjacent to three of its tented suites, which allow guests to sleep out under a ceiling of star studded skies.

Almost as numerous as the stars, are the possibilities for amazing wildlife encounters in this rough, unspoilt part of the Serengeti, far removed from the park’s busy transit areas. It teems with prides of lion, roaming cheetah, leopard, and large packs of hyena. Here, the Acacia woodland borders the great savannah, thereby also attracting large groups of herbivores, including elephant, giraffe, zebra, warthog and more, making this the ideal

location to experience everything the magical Serengeti has to offer.
