Nimali Mara offers the following activities:
These are available during early morning and late afternoon into evening. The northern region of the Serengeti is characterised by savanna, open woodlands, hills, and water sources such as the famous River Mara. All year round, you can look out for a wealth of wildlife, not least the Big Five – lion, rhino, leopard, elephant, and buffalo. Smaller predators and herbivores in residence include cheetah, hyenas, jackals, wild dog, giraffe, wildebeest, and all sorts of antelopes. And there are hundreds of types of bird, from raptors to songbirds to water-dwelling species.
Visit Nimali Mara during the period from July to October, and you’ll be well placed to witness the spectacular Great Migration . Huge herds of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelles move around the North Serengeti during these months in their search for food. Where river crossings are involved, you’ll likely see Nile crocodile lurking in the waters, while the sheer volume of herbivores results in impressive concentrations of big cats roaming the plains.
*This property is unfenced and located in a wildlife area, so large and potentially dangerous animals do pass through. If you opt to stay here, always be alert when walking around the camp and request for a member of staff to escort you if you have any concerns. Any guest is escorted after dark as a matter of course.
The camp is accessed via 35 minutes’ road transfer from Kogatende Airstrip. It has a fabulous location in the remote northern region of the Serengeti, in a small kopje amongst boulders and trees. The famous River Mara is just 30 minutes’ drive away!
The entire camp merges seamlessly with its natural surroundings, amongst the North Serengeti’s boulders and trees.
In common with the guest suites, the main building has a contemporary style, and is pretty opulent too. The lounge features comfortable seating around coffee tables and a selection of reading material, while the dining area is a pretty chic affair. There is a infinity pool within a natural cave! A perfect for relaxation in between activities here.
There are ten suites, including two suites for honeymooners.
The honeymoon suites can join together, to provide a suite for families. Each suite features fixed wooden doors, and a modern take on the classic safari tent design. Inside a standard-size suite, there is a double bed or twin beds with mosquito netting, bedside stands and lighting, a writing desk and chair, and additional amenities such as an overhead fan, a tea-and-coffee station, an electronic safe, and a hairdryer. The en-suite facilities, set up to one side of the bedroom area, will comprise flush toilet, twin washbasins, double showers, and a brass bathtub. Every suite boasts a private plunge pool.
