Little Oliver's Camp

About Little Oliver's Camp

Small and highly personal, Little Oliver’s offers an exclusive safari on every level.

As of 1 June 2021, Little Oliver’s will merge with the original Oliver’s Camp, with the option of booking it exclusively. Set in the Southern section of the remote and untamed Tarangire National Park, downstream from Oliver's camp, it overlooks a flood plain of the Minyoyo Pools that form part of the Tarangire River system. It is unique in that it is small enough to be booked out exclusively by groups of friends or large families - the perfect place to escape the crowds and experience your own slice of untamed Africa.

Property details

The property

The main dining and relaxation area at Little Oliver’s is an open-sided thatch structure with loads of comfortable seating and chunky wooden coffee tables, covered with an array of beckoning books. The dining area’s focal point is a communal table which adds to the friendly, social atmosphere. The decor and layout create a stylish and welcoming feel, inviting you to sip a refreshing cup of afternoon tea or savour an evening G&T while recounting the day’s adventures.

The rooms

Elevated on a small hill with views of the floodplain, the camp comprises five, well spaced and well appointed en-suite tents, each boasting both an indoor or star-ceilinged outdoor shower. Every tent has its own deck with sun loungers - the perfect spot to soak up the wild atmosphere and watch the wandering game at close range. The decor possesses a rustic charm, with furniture made of reclaimed trading dhows, injecting an authentic East African feel.

Activities

Little Oliver’s is renowned for its specialised walking safaris. Guests can enjoy game walks with highly-skilled guides, where they will learn about tracking, flora and fauna. Intrepid adventurers can opt for a three-day wilderness walking adventure, sleeping out in a lightweight fly camp. Not so keen on walking? Not to worry, there are also day and night game drives to explore the park’s curious creatures and striking landscapes.

Why we love it

We like to think of Little Oliver’s as an echo of the early days of safari, where the focus is on fabulous service, even better game viewing and where everyone knows your name. A real gem.

Insiders Tip

For the full wilderness works, embark on a night’s fly camping in the heart of the bush. You’ll need to make sure you stay for long enough to include it (at least three nights) but oh, it’s worth every, adventure-filled moment.

Something to think about

The smaller lodges and camps in Tarangire get booked up incredibly quickly for the peak season months (July to October) so if you’ve got your heart set on a small, intimate property like Little Oliver’s, book well in advance!
