Set on a sandy ridge is the main lounge-cum-dining-area - a cosy and comfortable tent that opens onto the surrounding bush. Kitted out with campaign furniture, regal leather armchairs and reclaimed dhow-wood pieces, the decor takes its cue from silhouetted sunsets and authentic African tones. Outside is a big open fire surrounded by director’s chairs, and further down from the main area is a raised wooden deck for private moon-lit dining.
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.
The park offers game drives twice daily as well as nocturnal excursions that reveal all the secrets of the dark. If you do want to take to the skies, a hot air balloon safari can be pre-arranged.
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.
