Nyasi Tented Camp

Lose yourself in the endless plains of the northern Serengeti for the safari of a lifetime.

Nyasi Tented Camp

Nyasi, which means ‘grass’ in Swahili, is named for the endless rolling plains of the Serengeti. A truly iconic vista. Vast herds of wildebeest pass just outside your tent, following a migratory path worn over time. Located in the Lamai Wedge in the northern reaches of the Serengeti, Nyasi Tented Camp affords guests seamless access to the Mara River – the iconic location of the wildebeest crossings. Experience a front row seat to the procession of more than two million wildebeest, zebra and Thomson’s gazelle as they traverse across the vast grass plains.

Accommodation

A tented sanctuary set amid golden grasses, Nyasi sets you in the thick of the surrounding Serengeti wilderness — fostering a closer connection with nature. Nyasi consists of eight en-suite tents and a family tent. Decor is inspired by a love of nature and raw organic materials. Natural linen and earthy colours reflect the tranquillity and peace of the environment, allowing you to feel connected to your surroundings as you follow the ever-moving migration. There is also always the option to take an entire side of camp to yourselves.

True unscripted adventure meets comfort

Plains of golden grasslands stretch to distant horizons under never-ending blue skies as millions of hoofbeats drum the earth. Everything in Tanzania happens on a vast scale and Nyasi puts you at the heart of it all. Feel the exhilaration of being close to nature, including The Great Migration. Recommended three to four nights’ stay, immersed in the wild with all the sophisticated comforts you need. Perfect for the start or middle of an itinerary.
