Property details

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.

Activities

From morning game drives that traverse the park’s diverse landscapes to walking safaris that allow you to get up close with the smaller details of the bush, the activities here cater to both adrenaline seekers and those looking for a slower pace. Don’t miss a sunset drive followed by a bush dinner under the stars—a quintessential African experience. Birdwatching enthusiasts will be in their element, with over 500 species calling this area home.

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.
