Nasikia Ehlane Plains Camp Luxury Safari Itinerary

A Signature Tanzania Safaris Holiday Experience by Deks Safaris and Tours

Nestled in the remote Soit Le Motonyi region of the Eastern Serengeti, Nasikia Ehlane Plains Camp offers a secluded, immersive safari experience far from the usual tourist routes. This permanent luxury tented camp is renowned for its high density of predators, including lions, cheetahs, and leopards, making it an ideal destination for wildlife enthusiasts seeking intimate and authentic encounters. The camp is positioned in a previously restricted wildlife sanctuary, allowing guests to enjoy unrestricted observation of both resident and migratory species in their natural environment.

The Eastern Serengeti, with its open plains and scattered kopjes, provides a unique ecological setting that favors predator sightings. Guests have access to twice-daily game drives, tracking hunting behaviors and witnessing the intricate dynamics between predators and prey. For early risers, balloon safaris offer a breathtaking aerial perspective of the plains, enabling panoramic views of herds, rivers, and predator activity, followed by a champagne bush breakfast for a quintessential African safari experience.

Predator-Rich Eastern Serengeti Adventure

The camp’s design emphasizes sustainable luxury. Each of the 8 spacious tented suites is carefully integrated into the landscape, featuring net-draped king-size beds, en-suite bathrooms, solar-powered lighting, and lounge areas. Two stargazer suites include open rooftop extensions, allowing guests to watch the night sky while enjoying the serenity of the Serengeti. Communal areas include a central mess tent that serves as a lounge and dining room, equipped with satellite Wi-Fi and charging facilities.

Dining at Nasikia Ehlane reflects the lodge’s commitment to quality and authenticity. Guests enjoy freshly baked breads and pastries, farm-to-table produce, bush breakfasts, and picnics in the wilderness. Evening dinners around the campfire offer an opportunity to unwind and reflect on the day’s adventures. The small number of suites ensures personalized service and intimate safari experiences, making every stay transformative and memorable.

Tanzania Luxury Safari Lodges

Day 1 – Arrival and Immersive Introduction to Eastern Serengeti

Guests arrive via flight to Seronera Airstrip (SEU), followed by a 45–60 minute game drive transfer to the camp. The drive introduces visitors to the remote beauty of the Eastern Serengeti, with opportunities to spot resident wildlife, including herds of wildebeest and scattered prides of lions. Upon arrival, guests receive a warm safari welcome and are shown to their tented suites, each offering panoramic views of the surrounding plains.

After settling in, an orientation session familiarizes guests with camp protocols, scheduled activities, and wildlife guidelines. A late afternoon game drive introduces the area’s predators and landscape, culminating with sundowners atop a scenic viewpoint. Dinner is served in the central mess tent or under the open African sky, offering freshly prepared local and international cuisine in a refined safari setting.

Day 2 – Predator Tracking and Plains Exploration

The day begins at dawn, when early morning light accentuates the golden savannah. Guests enjoy a hot beverage before embarking on a morning game drive, guided by experienced safari trackers. The Eastern Serengeti is particularly renowned for its high predator density; lions and cheetahs are often observed hunting, while leopards stealthily navigate rocky outcrops. The guides provide detailed insights into predator behaviors, social structures, and conservation efforts.

After a bush breakfast, guests may relax in their suites or participate in walking safaris with armed guides, exploring the smaller flora and fauna that often go unnoticed during vehicle-based drives. Afternoon game drives focus on less-traveled plains, increasing the chances of encountering solitary predators and unique wildlife patterns. Sundowners are served in the bush, accompanied by panoramic views of the sunset over the savannah. The day concludes with a candlelit dinner around the campfire, creating a reflective and intimate Tanzania safari experience.

Day 3 – Balloon Safari and Immersive Wilderness Experiences

Guests may rise before dawn for a balloon safari, offering a rare aerial perspective of the Eastern Serengeti. Floating silently above herds and predator territories, the balloon safari highlights the region’s intricate ecosystem and is followed by a traditional champagne bush breakfast.

Upon return to the camp, morning leisure allows guests to enjoy the lounge, stargazer suite rooftop, or an infinity pool if available. Afternoon game drives are tailored to individual preferences, whether following lion prides, observing cheetah hunts, or exploring hidden valleys rich in wildlife. Optional activities include photography-focused excursions and cultural visits to nearby Maasai communities, providing insight into local traditions and conservation efforts.

Evening activities include sundowners on the camp’s observation deck and a gourmet dinner. The small size of the camp ensures that each guest receives personalized attention, enhancing the feeling of exclusivity and immersion in the Serengeti ecosystem.

Day 4 – Final Safari Highlights and Departure

The final day begins with a dawn game drive to capture last wildlife sightings and reflect on the journey. The guides provide a summary of observed wildlife behaviors and memorable moments from the stay. A farewell breakfast is served at the camp, after which guests are escorted back to Seronera Airstrip for flights onward.

This day emphasizes both relaxation and reflection, leaving guests with lasting impressions of the Eastern Serengeti’s pristine wilderness, predator encounters, and luxury Tanzania safari experiences.
