Accommodation

Tarangire National Park

After enjoying a long leisurely game drive between herds of wild animals and along miles of Africa’s seemingly endless roads, you come over a slight rise and the lodge appears almost immediately below you.  Built to blend in with the vastness of its surroundings, Tarangire Sopa Lodge lies hidden among the kopjes, ancient baobab and grasses of the Tarangire National Park - home to the greatest concentration of elephants in Africa. Many can be seen around the lodge, allowing visitors a close encounter.

A quintessential East African safari camp set amidst ancient baobabs, where understated luxury is woven into every experience. Dine in the wilderness, and marvel at the abundant wildlife. From dawn to dusk, relish the tranquillity and rhythmic pace of a slower Africa.

Tarangire Kati Kati Tented Camp is a mobile camp strategically located within Tarangire National Park, specifically near the Silale Swamp. The camp is situated in a prime private campsite in the Silale area, one of the prime areas of the national park.

The camp consists of 11 tents, including a family tent – it can accommodate a variety of travelers. Additionally, there is a mess tent where meals are served, providing a communal space for our guests to dine and socialize. One notable advantage of the camp’s location inside the park is that it allows travelers to be among the first to embark on game drives.

Being situated within the national park provides guests with a unique opportunity to witness wildlife and explore the natural beauty of Tarangire National Park right from the start of their safari experience.

Oliver’s Camp, located in Tarangire National Park, is a place for those who want to experience an adventurous safari with ample comforts.

Join our knowledgeable guides for a walking safari, soar over the plains in a hot-air balloon or examine leopard tracks along a dusty road. At Oliver’s, you can get to know the landscape from all angles. 

Our 15-tent camp is relaxed and comfy, imitating the original safari camps. The team at Oliver’s have worked together for years, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Small groups may want to consider booking out a 5-tent area of the camp offset about a kilometer away from the main area and which can be operated as an exclusive use option. 

Tarangire Ndovu Tented Lodge is located in the heart of Tarangire, Tanzania’s wild land and landscapes. Tarangire is famed for its massive elephant herds, true sense of wilderness and a gentle backdrop of baobabs. It is the lesser visited but more intriguing park on the northern circuit.  At Tarangire Ndovu Tented Lodge, we have 12 permanent tents made up of ten standard suites,  and 2 x two bed room inter-connected family suites. 

The camp is open all year around and especially during the dry months, the massive elephant herds travel through the corridor between Manyara and Tarangire and spend their time in and around the park. This is because of their ability to uncover permanent sources of fresh water. We endeavour to retain the uniqueness and intimacy of the camp, while being directed by the location, wildlife and other factors of responsible tourism.

If you are looking for an authentic safari experience under traditional canvas showcasing spacious views and enriching culture, Mbali Mbali Tarangire River Camp is the perfect choice. Set within a 25,000-hectare concession area, Mbali Mbali Tarangire River Camp is located 3.5 km from the main entrance of the Tarangire National Park, overlooking a branch of the Tarangire River itself.

THIS ORGANIC, LIGHT-FOOTED CAMP HIDDEN AWAY IN THE PARK, IS PROBABLY CLOSER TO OUR HEARTS’ CORE THAN ANY OTHER.

Tarangire country is big and bold: our camp is the opposite...a little gem. Full of heart and soul, and  tucked into a grove of secluded riverside bush, it is so much at one with the wild that animals hardly look up as they do their thing around us. Elephants often pass right through camp, and we can be completely absorbed into their secret lives, from the sweet comfort of our sun-slatted living space.

Kirurumu Tarangire Lodge is built on the site of the old Tamarind Camp, in land we own and looking out on a flood plain that is seasonally a rich feeding ground for elephant and much else. There are 10 permanent tented cottages built in exactly the same style as the new Kirurumu Manyara Lodge cottages and the standards are the same high standards you have always been familiar with at Manyara.

Centered about a main lodge, which itself encases a thousand year-old baobab tree, Tarangire Treetops comprises 20 treehouses all of which are perched high above the ground in the broad boughs of marula and baobab trees.

These treehouses spread through the branches of thousand-year old trees and boast extremely spacious bedrooms –  65 square metres – with exotic double shower en suite bathrooms.
 
With furnishings that create warmth and demonstrate a commitment to local craftsmanship, the ‘up-in-the-air’ experience is completed by the open-fronted room design affording you spectacular views across the Tarangire plains from an expansive but private balcony.

A variety of dining pleasures on offer are: a lantern-lit dinner in a traditional boma echoing to the sounds of Masai chants; eating at the poolside by candlelight whilst a wealth of wildlife comes to drink at the lodge water hole; a bush lunch during a game drive through the famed Tarangire National Park; sundowner cocktails atop Sunset Hill where you can indulge in the deep orange sunsets that often welcome in the starry skies; a bush dinner under the stars.

Activities include a tour to a Masai village which is about 20-30 minutes’ drive from Treetops and gives a perfect insight to the life of the Masai; a boma dinner under the stars in a traditional Masai boma whilst enjoying the dancing and singing of Masai menfolk; day game drives in Tarangire National Park which is famous for its huge number of elephants, baobab trees and tree climbing lions.

On these drives through the park you can expect to see any number of resident zebra and wildebeest in addition to animals such as waterbuck, giraffe, and olive baboons.   

A walking safari, always an exhilarating adventure, is conducted in the company of an experienced guide and offers an up close opportunity to discover more about both fauna and flora.

Home to more than 550 species, the park is a haven for bird enthusiasts who can expect so see dozens of species even in the dry season.   The swamps are the focus of the largest selection of breeding birds anywhere in the world.   Yellow-collared Lovebirds are a common sighting in the trees along the Tarangire River.
