What you'll love

The thrill of watching elephants frolic by the springs from the comfort of your private deck.

Insiders tip

Keep your binoculars handy at all times, you never know what will be passing by or lounging in the distant trees.

Something to think about

While the camp offers an immersive wilderness experience, be prepared for the presence of wildlife close to camp. You will need to be escorted to and from your room in the custom-built truck.

The property

The camp’s communal areas are a celebration of Tarangire’s rustic beauty. An open-air lounge is shaded by towering baobabs, while the dining area overlooks a bustling waterhole. The décor combines earthy tones with natural materials, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that encourages mingling. Evenings here are magical, with lantern-lit dinners followed by stories around the campfire under the African stars.

The rooms

Each tented suite is a private haven, blending modern comforts with a wild, untamed spirit. Canopied beds, en-suite bathrooms, and verandas with sweeping views create an ambiance of secluded luxury. The rooms are designed to maximise the connection to nature, with large windows that invite the outside in, so you can enjoy the sounds of the bush even as you relax.

Animals are plentiful in the Tarangire National Park, a landscape of famous upside down trees (baobabs), acacia woodlands, riverine forest and swamps. If you want to see elephants, this is the best place to go. Large herds roam the plains, among zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, tree climbing lions and the occasional leopard. A real treat is the birding, with more than 500 species recorded across the park. This is a true wildlife wonderland.
