Overview
Set on a private concession along the eastern edge of Tarangire National Park, Nimali Tarangire offers an intimate escape into one of Tanzania’s most captivating landscapes. Framed by iconic baobab trees and sprawling acacia woodlands, the camp overlooks a seasonal riverbed where elephants gather in the dry season, their silhouettes mirrored against granite boulders under the vast African sky. This secluded haven, just beyond the park’s boundaries, promises uninterrupted views of the untamed bush and a front-row seat to the region’s legendary wildlife, including herds of up to 300 elephants and over 500 bird species.
The camp’s design weaves contemporary elegance with Maasai-inspired touches, blending canvas suites with natural materials like recycled glass and local fabrics. Its eco-luxury ethos creates a serene atmosphere, perfect for travelers seeking both adventure and tranquility. Days here are filled with thrilling game drives, guided walking safaris, and night drives that reveal the park’s nocturnal wonders. For the ultimate indulgence, soar above the plains on a hot-air balloon safari or savor a candlelit bush dinner under a starlit canopy. Easily accessible, Nimali Tarangire is a 2.5-hour drive from Arusha or a short flight to Kuro airstrip, followed by a scenic transfer through the wildlife-rich concession.
