Asilia - Meet Max - Namiri Plains, Serengeti

Meet the lovely Max, one of our super friendly and extremely talented staff members. Max loves to engage with guests, hear about their sightings from the day and tell you about his life and story.
At Asilia, we provide opportunities for our staff to progress their careers within our family. Max is now our Food and Beverage Trainer and travels in between our camps in Tanzania, to train his fellow colleagues in this specialised field and share his expertise with them.

This video was shot at the beautiful Namiri Plains, one of our three Reserve Camps in Tanzania. Completely refurbished and upgraded in 2019, Namiri Plains is in Tanzania’s eastern Serengeti. This remote camp is also a conservation initiative, protecting an area crucial to cheetah and other big cats. Before Namiri Plains was built, these grasslands were closed for 20 years to allow the cheetah population to restore. The nearest other camps are over an hour’s drive away so you can experience the vast plains all to yourself. It is the ideal location for big cat sightings, as well as our rate melanistic serval - Manja. When not out in the bush spotting lion and other big cats or watching huge wildebeest herds, while away an afternoon around the pool or schedule a massage in our spa. Feed your mind in the library and information centre, or simply chill out and soak up the views from your own private deck.
