The Lodge is located within close proximity to the great Mara River, and serves as an excellent base from which to game drive this area as the giant herds of migratory wildebeest and zebra take their fateful plunge.
The lodge is an oasis of sophistication; from the fine bedroom linens to the gleaming bathroom fixtures to the large copper bathtub, elegance and refinement exude from every detail. The pinnacle of your stay at Nimali Mara will undoubtedly be your own guest tent. The lodge consists of just 10 suites making for a very exclusive experience. The primary focus of each guest tent is the VIEW! That is the major theme governing the design here. The external walls of the suites are canvas while the front is entirely glass. This is to maximize the views and allow guests to immerse themselves in nature. The suites have fixed wooden doors, twin showers, a double vanity with copper basins and a beautiful large copper bathtub with a window that opens up to the plains. Every suite also has a private deck with a swing bed offering glorious views. A discrete dash of technology is included in all the right places including 24/7 electricity, outlets for charging camera batteries and a telephone for communicating with staff. The lounge area is cleverly hidden away in a small kopje amongst trees and boulders with an infinity swimming pool. The lounge and dining area offer spectacular views of the Serengeti.
