Nimali Mara is a premium luxury tented lodge in the North Serengeti, offering contemporary tented suites with plunge pools and prime positioning for migration season (Jul–Oct). It’s designed for travelers who want designer interiors, spa-level service, and exclusivity while still being close to the Mara River. Nimali Mara is one of the newer additions to the north, appealing to couples and honeymooners who prefer stylish refinement over rustic canvas.

Pricing: typically $2,650–$2,850 per double in high season; around $1,600–$1,700 in low season (Mar–May).

Thoughtful comparisons: Same tier: Lemala Kuria Hills (premium luxury; villas with panoramic ridge views) and One Nature Mara River (premium luxury; ultra-opulent tented). Step down: Mara Mara Tented Lodge (luxury; lodge-scale amenities). Step down further: Mara Kati Kati (mid-range; simple canvas).

Safari context: Being near Kogatende shortens drive times to river crossings—critical when herds start moving suddenly.
