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.

Perched on the edge of ancient rhythms, Elephant Springs Tented Camp is more than a retreat; it is a front-row seat to one of nature’s greatest theaters. Strategically positioned beside a perennial natural spring, the camp offers a private gallery view of Tarangire’s legendary elephant herds. Here, the “parade of wildlife” isn’t a scheduled activity—it is the living wallpaper of your daily life, visible from the sheer silk-and-canvas sanctuary of your private suite.
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.
