Set alongside a dry riverbed peppered with huge granite boulders and hidden amongst the acacia and baobab trees, Nimali Tarangire sits peacefully in its own private concession, adjacent to the eastern boundary of Tarangire National Park and, most importantly, away from the mainstream vehicles visiting the Park.
Tarangire National Park is lush and green, particularly in the early part of the year, making this one of the most beautiful National Parks in Tanzania. Home to large herds of elephant, prolific birdlife and plentiful year-round game, the wildlife spills into the Nimali concession and is often found just metres from the camp, around a large waterhole.
Due to its location, guests can also enjoy many activities that are not available to those staying inside the Park including guided walks, bush sundowners and night drives in open 4x4 vehicles.
After a morning out on safari, why not relax with a private spa treatment in your room, followed by a delicious light lunch under the cool canopy of trees overhanging the riverbed, before heading out for an afternoon drive again.
Nimali Tarangire consists of 10 light and airy expedition-style canvas tents, set on slightly raised decking, with beautiful views of the riverbed and dramatic boulders beneath. Early mornings are a particularly special time when the riverbed is dappled with the first rays of sunshine and guests often see elephant enjoying a hearty breakfast on the opposite side of the bank.
Two of the tents are designed for families or couples travelling together, which are connected by a large lounge overlooking a private deck complete with a plunge pool.
The dining area opens up to a traditional boma with a firepit and comfortable chairs, waiting for the night to draw in and stories to be told.
