It’s easy to lose your heart at Nimali Tarangire, where the wilderness feels both vast and intimate. Just a few hours’ drive from Arusha, this hidden gem transports you into a world of untamed beauty. Here, ancient baobab trees stand like guardians of the land, herds of elephants roam freely, and more than 500 species of birds fill the skies with color and song.

Whether you’re seeking thrilling encounters with wildlife, peaceful moments surrounded by nature, or authentic cultural connections, Tarangire is a destination that captivates the senses.

Location – Where Wilderness Meets Comfort

Nimali Tarangire lies within its own private concession on the eastern boundary of Tarangire National Park, giving guests an exclusive experience just beyond the park’s borders. From here, you’re within easy reach of Lake Manyara National Park and the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater, making it a perfect stop on a Northern Tanzania safari circuit.

The camp itself is thoughtfully designed, inspired by Maasai traditions and artistry. Natural materials, hand-crafted décor, and organic textures reflect the landscape, while the overall aesthetic blends seamlessly with the environment.

A highlight of the camp is its underground photographic hide, positioned beside a waterhole, where guests can quietly observe elephants, antelopes, and other wildlife as they gather to drink—an unforgettable, close-up safari moment.

Nimali Tarangire offers just eight tented suites, combining safari authenticity with understated luxury. Each suite features:

• Private deck overlooking a seasonal riverbed.
• Spacious en-suite bathroom with contemporary fittings.
• Elegant interiors blending neutral tones with vibrant local fabrics and recycled glass accents.

For families, two exclusive Family Suites provide:

• Two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms.
• A connecting lounge area for relaxation and bonding.
• A private plunge pool, perfect for cooling off after a game drive.

Every space is designed to feel calming and connected to nature, creating an atmosphere of quiet luxury where you can unwind in complete comfort.
