Nimali Tarangire

With the north-eastern entrance of Tarangire National Park just a few minutes away from this private concession, Nimali Tarangire is an intimate camp which is the perfect base from which to explore the surrounding wilderness.

The picturesque park of baobab trees and grasslands create a beautifully relaxed setting, the area is renowned for its herds of elephants which are particularly attracted to the park’s permanent river in the dry season (July to October). Birdwatching is also really good here, mainly due to the swamps. There are over 550 species.

Nimali is a relatively new kid on the block, but we know the family of the owners, and we rate the way they do things. Whilst we’ve not yet seen this camp, we feel confident to recommend it based on this. You should find it good quality and yet priced sensibly.

It makes a good start to a Tanzania safari, being just about 2.5 hours from Arusha. The company has a sister camp in Serengeti.
