Lolkisale Camp is a luxury boutique tented camp located in the heart of Tarangire National Park. Its strategic position on the edge of a wetland makes it an exceptional spot for wildlife viewing year-round, as the nearby Tarangire River attracts a huge concentration of animals, particularly during the dry season. The camp is an excellent choice for travelers who want to be deeply immersed in the park’s vibrant ecosystem.
The camp offers an intimate and authentic safari experience with a limited number of custom-designed tents, typically eight. Each tent is spacious and provides a private verandah, a comfortable sitting area, and an en-suite bathroom equipped with a flush toilet and a traditional safari bucket shower. This setup ensures guests have all the necessary comforts while still feeling connected to the surrounding wilderness.
Lolkisale Camp provides a variety of activities to fully explore Tarangire’s rich biodiversity. Guests can go on both day and night game drives, which are great for spotting nocturnal animals. For a more personal and thrilling encounter, guided walking safaris are also offered. The camp’s location is ideal for witnessing Tarangire’s renowned elephant herds, as well as predators like lions, leopards, and cheetahs, and vast herds of buffalo, all of which contribute to an unforgettable safari adventure.
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.
Chem Chem Lodge offers a leisurely safari experience in a 20,000-hectare wilderness area that connects Tarangire and Lake Manyara. Nestled among watering holes, savannas, and a vast salt pan, this luxurious lodge provides personalized service, gourmet dining, and a variety of activities like guided walks and cultural visits. It’s a perfect retreat for those seeking a stylish and immersive nature experience.
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.
