Experience The Magic of Tanzania
As a family-owned collection with roots in East Africa since the late 1890s, the Nimali team is passionate about sharing their knowledge and experience of this magical country with guests.
They grew up on the pristine land on which their lodges now operate, and are thrilled to be able to share authentic and sustainable African safaris with all who visit.
Stillness & Serenity Rediscovered
Located just 2.5 hours from the city of Arusha, Nimali Tarangire offers the perfect start or end to the northern safari circuit. Situated on its own private concession in Tarangire National Park, the exclusive lodge rests alongside a riverbed, and is well hidden amongst the acacia and baobab trees. Think thousands of acres full of beautiful wildlife and flora for your private enjoyment!
Tarangire National Park is beloved for its majestic baobab trees and large herds of elephants. It’s also an excellent habitat for lion, leopard, buffalo and many antelope species unique to East Africa (including the lesser kudu, fringe-eared oryx, gerenuk and grant’s gazelle).
The contemporary camp décor merges with natural materials to provide luxurious suites with private decks overlooking the river bed; an open-fronted lounge and library; a traditional boma; and a swimming pool overlooking the waterhole, where wildlife regularly gather to drink.
Unfiltered Time & Space
Nimali Mara is a hidden oasis in a remote location that allows for ample privacy and solitude.
Set in the more remote area of Kogatende in the northern sector of the Serengeti National Park, it’s just 30 minutes from the Mara River.
With a name meaning ‘a vast land that runs forever, where endless plains meet the sky’, Serengeti National Park is truly breathtaking. The northern area of Lobo and Kogatende meet up with Kenya’s Maasai Mara reserve, and are renowned for the unforgettable wildlife crossings of the Mara river. In essence, visitors to the area are guaranteed an exceptional safari experience.
