Visit Nimali Tarangire
Nimali Tarangire is sited in it’s own concession on the eastern boundary of Tanzania’s Tarangire National Park, an area renowned for its excellent game viewing opportunities and its large concentration of elephants.
The lodge is set along the river in the shade of acacia and baobab trees, overlooking a waterhole that attracts a wealth of wildlife. Guests can enjoy an array of activities from the lodge and can also simply relax on their private veranda and watch the animals come to drink.
Nimali Tarangire offers a unique underground photography hide, which offers an unparalleled vantage point for photographers and nature enthusiasts. Expertly camouflaged beneath the earth and positioned at the edge of a waterhole, this immersive hide provides an intimate, eye-level perspective of wildlife as they gather to drink. Designed for comfort and photographic excellence, the hide features ample space for tripods and beanbags, ensuring steady shots of both daytime activity and after-dark encounters. This unique experience at Nimali Tarangire elevates wildlife observation, transforming every visit into a front-row seat to nature’s most captivating scenes.
