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.

Tarangire provides excellent habitat for lion, leopard, buffalo and many antelope species unique to East Africa. These include lesser kudu, fringe eared oryx and Grants gazelle. Herds of up to 300 elephants dig for water in the dry riverbeds for underground streams, while migratory wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, impala, gazelle, hartebeest and eland crowd the plains. Unlike other parks, Tarangire offers guests the opportunity to enjoy walking safaris and night game drives.

At Nimali Tarangire natural materials are beautifully combined with contemporary decor.   The main areas comprise of a spacious lounge, library and a central dining area that overlooks the swimming pool and waterhole. Every evening, guests are able to relax in the lounge and have sundowners by the fireplace.
