The accommodation

KASKAZ AND EHLANE PLAINS

Both Kaskaz and Ehlane Plains are a mix of colour and the eclectic. To create employment, all the furniture at all the Nasikia camps is made by a team of eight in Arusha.

The 10 tented suites at Kaskaz are spacious and comfortable and overlook a plain in a quiet section of the reserve but close to the Mara River where the most dramatic stage of the migration occurs.

Ehlane Plains has eight stylish luxury suites, all with a lounge area and coffee table. Some of these tents have a night-viewing deck complete with four-poster bed. My tent was among the nicest safari accommodation I have ever experienced.
