The Maasai called it Serengit, meaning "endless plains", but today it is known throughout the world as the Serengeti.
Nimali Serengeti sits in the heart of the legendary 15 000km² national park, one of the most prolific wildlife regions in the world. Being located so centrally means the lodge is within easy driving distance of many of the Serengeti's most prolific wildlife areas.
Ancient rocks shaped by wind, rain and sun
The tracks and signs of the bush
To the sawing call of a leopard as day turns to night
A hearty breakfast served al fresco
The fragrant scents of trees in bloom
Enjoying a brand-new position close to Makoma Hill, the reimagined Nimali Serengeti enjoys uninterrupted views over kopje dotted plains.
The game viewing in this area is outstanding all year round, with large herds of buffalo and elephant, an abundance of plains game and exceptional big cat sightings.
Moreover, the lodge is located on one of the most renowned wildebeest migration routes, with the herds moving through from April to June and October to December each year.
There are 12 tented suites at Nimali Serengeti, two of which are connected by a shared walkway making them perfect for families. Each suite has its own private verandah and en-suite bathroom with bathtub and outdoor shower.
The lodge's central lounge, dining area and pool deck offer more than enough space to relax in between activities.
The interiors are a homage to the migration motif. Skin and bone colours and styling further underpin the design inspiration. The modern and contemporary style blends effortlessly with organic textures.
Nimali Serengeti's primary activities are morning and afternoon game drives. This area is particularly well known for its predators, especially lion, cheetah and leopard, all of which are seen regularly.
Although Nimali Serengeti is accessible by road from Arusha, it's an eight-hour drive and not recommended. Nimali Serengeti is four hours by road from the Ngorongoro Crater main gate and a four-hour game drive from its sister camp in the north, Nimali Mara. The Serengeti's Naabi Hill gate is approximately a two-hour drive from camp.
