‘Ehlane’ means ‘wilderness’ in the Zulu language, & aptly so – because Ehlane Plains Camp lies deep in the heart of the eastern Serengeti, surrounded by endless savannas.
Experience
Each year between October & December, this vast wilderness is covered in large herds of wildebeest, zebra & other antelope on their epic migratory journey through this part of Tanzania.
During the Great Wildebeest Migration, resident predators such as lion, cheetah & spotted hyena are active - promising exceptional predator-prey interactions.
Not only does Ehlane Plains Camp offer front row seats to one of Africa’s most iconic wildlife spectacles, it also promises year-round game viewing of the highest quality.
The camp is unfenced & completely open to passing wildlife, ensuring exceptional armchair game viewing from the comfort of the viewing deck.
Stay
The camp offers 4 luxury safari tents, 2 ‘star dome’ tents & 2 family tents, all designed to blend in with the rugged landscape – under canvas & with clear vistas of the surrounding wilderness.
Each tent contains an en-suite bathroom & lounge cove with comfortable sofas where lazy afternoons can be spent.
The ‘star dome’ tents have been designed with open rooftops to recline on large cushions & fall asleep beneath a natural planetarium.
The family tents welcome families of up to 5 in inter-connected suites. The family unit includes a private lounge with a cushion-covered floor where families can relax, read or play games.
The main lodge includes a lounge & dining area with a cosy campfire where pre-dinner drinks can be enjoyed.
Activities
Activities at Ehlane Plains Camp include open 4x4 game drives, walking trips & hot air balloon safaris over the vast Serengeti plains.
