Oliver’s tented camp, established by the pioneer Paul Oliver in 1992, is the perfect camp for those with an appetite for adventure. Set a little off the beaten track, beside marshland in the secluded Tarangire National Park, Oliver’s offers basic luxury and a great escape from the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater crowds. As of 1 June 2021, Little Oliver's will become a part of the camp and can be booked exclusively. Oliver’s is renowned for great guiding, and fly camping inside the national park.

Oliver’s comprises ten traditional en-suite tents, including one triple, one honeymoon and one family suite. All offer a great balance of luxury and simplicity, with the spacious outdoor showers being their biggest extravagance. Hand-carved African mahogany headboards compliment the splendid horizon views from the deck of your private veranda. Once tucked into your king-sized bed, only canvas separates you from the wild surroundings - a rather thrilling feeling.
Oliver's Camp is owned by Asilia Africa who pioneers sustainable investments in vulnerable East African wilderness areas, fostering conservation economies for local communities and increasing biodiversity. Through collaboration with stakeholders and guest contributions, they achieve significant positive impacts. Their latest project, focusing on the Usangu Wetlands in Tanzania's Ruaha National Park, aims to promote sustainable tourism while preserving the region's unique ecosystem and biodiversity, ensuring long-term benefits to conservation and local communities. A contribution of $10 per guest, which is included in the nightly rate, goes towards the above goals.
