With 30 elevated suites, each positioned to capture breathtaking panoramas of Lake Burunge and Tarangire National Park. Designed for an immersive wilderness experience, the accommodations include 20 elegant safari tents and 10 beautifully appointed bungalows.
To ensure a seamless stay for families and groups, each bungalow features a versatile configuration of one king-size bed and one queen-size bed. Every sanctuary is fully climate-controlled with air conditioning and ceiling fans, blending modern comfort with the raw beauty of the landscape.
Burunge Baobab lies within a vast private conservation area adjoining the National Park—a sanctuary of “deep African safari mystique” where the rare luxury of silence remains undisturbed.
Under the guidance of our premier Safari Director, you will encounter the charisma of Tarangire’s giants: world-renowned elephant herds and the elegant, “long-stemmed, speckled” giraffe. In the presence of our lions, you will truly understand Isak Dinesen’s observation of their “unrestricted supreme authority”—a sight of such power that it renders all else trivial.
Beyond the game drive, we curate private, respectful visits to a neighboring Maasai village. These are meaningful encounters with the Director’s lifelong friends, embodying the true spirit of the region: you may come for the wildlife, but you stay for the people.
Living in an African treehouse is a dream many share, but the reality at Tarangire Treetops surpasses even the most vivid imaginations.
With freshly brewed coffee in hand, step onto the treehouse’s broad balcony and revel in the serene atmosphere. Here, you are now living in luxury, with sweeping views across marvelously diverse landscapes – rocky outcrops, graceful hills, and Africa’s golden savannah, generously dotted with acacias and stately old baobabs. This is the homeland of nearly all the continent’s endlessly intriguing animals, including approximately 2,500 elephants.
Sometimes, less really is more. At Swala Camp, the crowds vanish, replaced by an exclusive world of fewer people and more animals. Tucked away in a secluded pocket of the magnificent Tarangire National Park, this camp offers a rare serenity. While the park’s famous elephant herds are a major draw, Swala remains a quiet sanctuary where the true spirit of the wilderness prevails.
The camp is named for its resident impala, but the real excitement happens at the waterhole. As wildlife gathers to drink, the atmosphere becomes electric; the constant presence of prey often draws in lurking lions and leopards. At Swala, you aren’t just visiting the bush—you are living in the heart of the action, where the beauty of nature meets the thrill of the hunt.
Venture into the heart of Tarangire National Park, where the ancient baobab trees stand sentinel over a land teeming with life. Tarangire Ndovu Tented Lodge offers an intimate and luxurious base camp for your safari adventure, perfectly positioned for you to witness the spectacular migrations of elephants for which the park is famous.
From the comfort of your spacious, elevated tent, you can watch as these gentle giants and other wildlife traverse the landscape. Each tent is a private sanctuary, featuring a furnished deck that provides a front-row seat to the daily dramas of the bush. After a thrilling game drive, cool off in the rim-flow swimming pool while keeping an eye out for elephants and other animals at a nearby waterhole.
As dusk settles, gather with fellow adventurers around the campfire, sharing stories under a sky ablaze with stars. Indulge in exquisite meals prepared with fresh, local ingredients, and let the sounds of the African night serenade you. With opportunities for day and night game drives, bush walks, and cultural visits, Tarangire Ndovu Tented Lodge promises an unforgettable and authentic safari experience that will leave a lasting impression.
