At Lake Burunge Baobab Tented Lodge, the lounge and dining areas epitomize elegance amidst the wild. Perched upon an elevated wooden platform beneath a traditional thatched roof, the space offers guests a commanding 360-degree panorama of Lake Burunge and the surrounding wilderness.
Dining is designed around your schedule, offering the flexibility of the outdoor terrace or the serene poolside. Whether enjoying a meal by the inviting 25-meter infinity pool or overlooking the lake shores, the experience seamlessly blends refined sophistication with the untamed beauty of the Tarangire and Manyara ecosystem.
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.
