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.

Tarangire Treetops’ 20 treehouses are a far cry from the simple treehouses of our youth, akin to how a Timex compares to a luxury watch. Each treehouse spans nearly 700 square feet and is crafted from a blend of modern and traditional materials. They all feature a revitalizing veranda with stunning views, a full bath with a double shower, Wi-Fi, and exceptional service from the Lodge’s staff. The main lodge is built around an ancient baobab tree, with the dining area overlooking a watering hole frequented by Tarangire’s wildlife. After an exhilarating game drive, a refreshing dip in the Lodge’s bright blue swimming pool is yet another delightful treat at Tarangire Treetops.
Tarangire Treetops is located in a vast private conservation area adjacent to Tarangire National Park, an area renowned for capturing the essence of the African safari mystique.
Our Safari Guides possess an intimate knowledge of Tarangire, allowing us to fully appreciate the diverse wildlife and their behaviors. Expect to encounter giraffes, waterbucks, dik-diks, Grant’s elegant gazelles, vervet monkeys, bustling baboons, cheetahs, nearly 600 bird species, Tarangire’s exceptionally large elephant population, and, of course, its majestic lions, which make everything else seem trivial.
Expertly guided night game drives from Treetops are particularly enchanting, offering a glimpse into the nocturnal world and a chance to marvel at the starry sky. Additionally, a visit to a Maasai village reminds us that while we come to Africa for the wildlife, we leave with a deep appreciation for its people.
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.
At Tarangire Simba Lodge, luxury is defined by the rarity of silence and the raw abundance of the wild. Ideally secluded near the Sangaiwe Gate, the lodge offers a front-row seat to the Northern Circuit’s most vibrant wildlife theater, with unhampered vistas stretching toward the shimmering Lake Burunge.
The true opulence here lies in the setting: an ancient Baobab tree stands guard over a landscape teeming with life, offering a profound connection to the “Old Africa.” This is a sanctuary where your stay is measured not in things, but in moments of untamed beauty and the quiet elegance of nature in its most pristine form.
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.
