COMFORT / CULTURE / WILDLIFE
Nasikia Camps are an intimate collection of mobile and semi-permanent camps located in the prime wildlife viewing areas of Tanzania’s northern safari circuit – experience the wilds of Tarangire, the incredible herds of the southern Serengeti plains, the wildlife-filled central areas and a short drive to the gauntlet of the Mara River.
With high quality canvas between your comfortable bed and the sounds of the African night, these camps provide the ideal accommodation for lovers of the great outdoors, while retaining the coziness of a warm bed, a hot shower, gratifying cuisine and a welcoming team.
As the grasses display fresh, green shoots the migration arrives – millions of wildebeest, zebras and gazelles. From late January and through most of February, this area is what cinematographers make movies about. With a cup of freshly ground coffee in hand, stretch up out of your vehicle to see these animals as far as the eye can see…
The Mara and Sand Rivers are pivotal locations (and gauntlets!) for the masses of wildebeest that circulate through the northern Serengeti from July-October each year – they must cross in order to maintain their migration patterns and follow the rains and fresh grasses to the south…
Perhaps you are a relative newcomer to this age of digital photography and interested in getting to know your own camera better and understanding acronyms like ‘ISO’ and words like ‘White Balance’? Join one of our African Photo Safaris with resident wildlife photographer Paul Joynson-Hicks.
Here is a short bio….
The dream that is Africa – after watching the romance of exploration and adventure of the safari expeditions of a bygone era on the big screen, it’s time to create memorable voyages of your own. Ehlane Plains Camp has been established in the far eastern plains of the Serengeti, a remote and wildlife-filled pocket of the savannah.
This is where the magic begins, this is where your dream of wild Africa comes alive. ‘Ehlane’ is a Zulu word which translates to ‘wilderness’. It is a clear description of the extraordinary and newly accessible location which presents forth an unsurpassed display of predators and predator activity.
It is here in the Soit le Motonyi region, far from the Serengeti transit areas, that you are able to find something wild and spectacular amongst this rough country. The area is unique; unspoilt, silent, remote and truly exciting.
