When the Maasai named this place, it honored the vast landscapes that seemed to go on forever. They called it Seringit—endless plains. Today, we know it as the Serengeti—where earth and sky collide in one of the most spectacular safari destinations in Africa. This is where you’ll find Nimali Serengeti, at the center of this legendary 15,000km² national park, surrounded by one of the most prolific wildlife regions on the continent.
Location
Enjoying a brand-new position close to Makoma Hill, in the heart of the central Serengeti, the reimagined Nimali Serengeti enjoys uninterrupted views out over plains dotted with kopjes on one of the Serengeti’s most renowned great wildebeest migration routes. The herds move through from April to June and October to December each year. The game viewing here is outstanding all year round, with large herds of buffalo and elephant, an abundance of plains game, and exceptional big cat sightings.
Getting there
By Road
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. The Serengeti’s Naabi Hill gate is approximately a two-hour drive from camp.
