Nimali Mara Camp

Nimali Mara Camp

Nimali Mara Camp is an exclusive, eco-luxury safari lodge situated in the remote Kogatende region of Tanzania’s northern Serengeti. Perched atop a secluded kopje, the camp offers panoramic views of the surrounding plains, providing guests with an intimate connection to the wilderness. Its strategic location places visitors within a 30 to 45 minute drive of the Mara River, a prime spot to witness the dramatic wildebeest migration crossings between July and October.

Nimali Mara Camp features ten spacious tented suites, including two honeymoon suites that can be converted into family accommodations. Each suite is thoughtfully designed with a blend of contemporary aesthetics and natural materials, featuring floor to ceiling glass doors, private decks with swing beds, and en-suite bathrooms equipped with freestanding copper bathtubs and dual showers.

Guests can enjoy a range of amenities, including an infinity pool set within a natural cave, a spa offering in room treatments, and gourmet dining experiences. The camp’s commitment to sustainability is evident through its use of solar power and eco-friendly practices, ensuring a luxurious yet environmentally conscious stay.

Expert Insights on Nimali Mara Camp

Nimali Mara Camp is one of only a few permanent luxury lodges in the Serengeti. It is located in a quieter district of the park, a little further from the Mara River than several other camps, meaning you are likely to see fewer vehicles around the lodge. The wildebeest migration typically passes through the area roughly between July and October. Then from November to June you can discover the fantastic resident wildlife of the northern Serengeti without the crowds.
