Tanzania – Serengeti
Nimali Mara
About the hotel
Nimali Mara lies in the northern Serengeti, close to the Kenyan border. Here, gentle hills dotted with acacia trees give way to sweeping grasslands, while the Mara River winds through the landscape. Each year, this seemingly tranquil setting becomes the stage for the Great Migration, as millions of wildebeest and zebra cross the river while crocodiles, lions and other predators lie in wait. Guests are right at the heart of it all, surrounded by the endless plains of the Serengeti. The ten tented suites, each with a private terrace, offer breathtaking views across the landscape. The interiors combine elegant contemporary touches with earthy tones. No one can resist the magic of Nimali Mara. To fall asleep to the sounds of the Serengeti is something you will never forget.

Best time to travel
The best time to visit the Serengeti in Tanzania is from June to October. During this dry season, conditions are ideal for the famous wildlife migration, when millions of wildebeest and zebra move through the Serengeti into neighbouring Kenya’s Masai Mara. Days are warm and nights are fresh. Sparse vegetation and clear visibility allow for exceptional wildlife viewing and make it easier to follow the drama of the migration. These months also offer ideal conditions for exploring the Serengeti’s varied landscapes, from vast savannahs to dramatic rock formations and waterholes.
