It starts in the quiet anticipation of the night before, when the vast plains are hushed and the stars feel close enough to touch. Whether you are here on honeymoon, celebrating a milestone, or simply choosing to step away from the noise of the world together, this is a place where time softens and intention [...]

Why Tarangire Is Tanzania’s best-kept secret
Why Tarangire Is Tanzania’s best-kept secret

For those in the know, Tarangire isn’t a detour, it’s the destination. Overshadowed at times by its more famous neighbours, this ancient land has quietly held onto its secrets. But follow the red dust roads long enough, and they’ll lead you to something remarkable: a place where the elephants still roam in their hundreds, where baobabs grow like sentinels, and where the bush speaks [...]

A taste of Swahili
A taste of Swahili

Embarking on a safari is not only a journey through wild landscapes but also a chance to immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of East African culture. One of the simplest and most rewarding ways to deepen your connection to the land and its people is through language and what better place to start than with Swahili?

Why we love the green season

While many safari travellers rush to experience the dry season’s dramatic wildlife gatherings, the green months - typically from November to May - hold their own kind of magic, one that Nimali invites you to discover.

It's peak migration season at Nimali
It's peak migration season at Nimali

Each year, like a great living tide, nearly two million wildebeest surge across the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem - a restless, thunderous movement that shapes life on the plains. At the heart of this ancient rhythm lies a moment of pure theatre: the Mara River crossings. It is here, in the far northern Serengeti, close to Nimali Mara, where instinct, peril, and survival collide with breathtaking [...]

A day on safari at Nimali Tarangire
A day on safari at Nimali Tarangire

There’s a rhythm to the bush. It doesn’t follow a clock, nor does it respond to the tug of urgency. It moves to the quiet tempo of instinct — deliberate, patient, precise.
