SERENGETI
Poems of the African Savanna
Some places welcome me as if I’ve merely been away.
The Serengeti is just as I imagined—raw, untamed, alive. It carries the spirit of Hemingway and Out of Africa, where the heat shimmers by day, and tawny lions roar from rocky outcrops, chasing shadows across the golden plains. Leopards melt into the shadows, and cheetahs race against time itself. Here, in the heart of the untamed, they reign.
Nestled within this ancient realm lies an ecosystem of unparalleled significance, boasting a timeless heritage that stretches back over a million years. Weather patterns, fauna, and flora have remained remarkably unchanged, evoking a sense of prehistoric wonder.

TAWNY LIONS
The Serengeti Cheetah Project is a vital force in cheetah conservation, uncovering challenges and safeguarding their future.
the Serengeti stands among the world’s great natural wonders. Its beauty stretches beyond horizons, true to its Swahili name—“endless.”
Masters of the wild, the big cats of the Serengeti move like whispers on the wind—silent, powerful, eternal.
SINGITA
golden thread woven with the wild
Singita means “Place of Miracles” in Shangaan
The Singita experience is an invitation to share in our love and care for the natural world, to be part of something meaningful, far-reaching, and much bigger than ourselves.
Loisaba is more than a sanctuary—it is a lifeline for elephants, lions, and rare species like Grevy’s zebra and wild dogs. Spanning 57,000 acres of protected wilderness, it is a testament to conservation, where the rhythm of the wild beats strong and unbroken.
ASILIA
Namiri Plains
Asilia, meaning “genuine” in Swahili, was founded by passionate souls with deep roots in East Africa’s family-run safari tradition.
Nestled in the remote eastern Serengeti, Namiri Plains is a sanctuary for big cats. Once a cheetah conservation site, it now teems with lions, leopards, and servals. For 20 years, these grasslands were closed to tourism, dedicated to cheetah research and restoration. When the time came, Namiri Plains became the first safari camp to welcome guests into this untamed wilderness.
From the moment I arrived, I was met with sweeping views of the endless plains, where the wild heart of Africa unfolds. Welcomed by song and dance, I immediately felt like family. Eleven tented suites blend luxury with nature—sliding doors open to expansive decks, while outdoor resin bathtubs invite you to soak beneath the sky. The stone walls, formed from ancient volcanic ash, keep you cool by day and warm by night.
With dawn’s first blush, the Serengeti whispers of cool earth and endless skies. The world unfolds like a golden dream—vast, untamed, eternal. Big cats cradle the day and command the night, their prowls and primal calls weaving through the darkness.
Asilia invests in East Africa’s wild landscapes, transforming vulnerable areas into thriving conservation economies.
