Location

Occupying a location within 10,000 acres of private land within the Maasai bush adjacent to Tarangire National Park, Nimali House is accessed via a 20 minute charter flight from Arusha.

Known for attracting thousands of elephants, this area is also a location to spot leopards, lions and giraffes. Being on a private reserve, Nimali House is a base to venture out on a thrilling and authentic experience of a walking safari.

Accommodation

New in June 2025, and therefore splendidly up-to-date in all respects, Nimali House is a sole-use house for a party of up to 12 guests spread through five suites. From its solitary and beautiful position, it overlooks a waterhole that attracts wildlife from far and wide, giving the lucky residents incredible animal sightings throughout their stay.
With attendant staff to cook meals and offer game viewing trips whenever you want, guests at Nimali House enjoy great flexibility over arrangements. There’s no timetable to fit to, so there’s a chance to unwind and relax more fully. Nimali is a word in Swahili that means ‘wealth’, but as Virgil said: ‘The greatest wealth is health,’ so eat and sleep well, have a dip in the cool waters of the pool, live an unhurried life, and connect with nature. This way, helped by Nimali House and its phenomenal setting, your stocks of health and therefore wealth will be replenished.

Experiences

  • The entire 10,000 acres surrounding Nimali House is for the exclusive use of the guests. When you go out to see the wildlife, you can guarantee that there won’t be any humans getting in the way.
  • Don’t forget to turn off the lights of the house, sit out on the terrace and look up at the spectacle of the star-lit heavens above. With no light pollution, this is an awesome experience.
  • The baobab tree is popularly known as the ‘Tree of Life’. Go and seek them out, along with the others: mopane, leadwood, winterthorn, ivory palm, marula, and tamarind.
  • Tarangire National Park is home to more than 500 bird species. See if you can spot our favourite: the yellow-collared lovebird.
  • During the peak migration season, more than 5,000 elephants move through Tarangire, along with all the herbivores that attract predators.
