Located just 5 km from the main gate of Tarangire National Park, approximately 125 km from Arusha town, this mid-range tented camp provides easy access to one of Tanzania's premier wildlife destinations. The lodge's unfenced grounds create genuine wildlife encounters, with elephants, zebras, and other animals frequently visiting the property, particularly at the swimming pool during dry seasons.

Accommodation & Rooms

The camp comprises 21 spacious en-suite tents constructed in traditional African style with grass-thatched roofs, handcrafted furniture, and modern comforts. Each tent is built on a raised wooden or cement platform and features private en-suite bathroom facilities including flushing toilets, hot and cold showers or bathtubs, mosquito nets, hairdryers, private wooden balconies, sitting areas, and verandas. Rooms are well-decorated with excellent clean beddings and available in various categories including standard, deluxe, and executive configurations with single, double, or triple bed arrangements. All units include tea and coffee making machines, allowing guests to enjoy refreshments while appreciating views of the Tarangire wilderness. Rates start from approximately $300 per night and above, depending on room category and season. Local Maasai men accompany guests to their tents for security, as the unfenced nature of the lodge allows animals to roam freely throughout the grounds.

Continental and vegetarian breakfast options are available, catering to diverse dietary preferences. The dining facilities offer a blend of traditional and contemporary cuisine, with meals served in a social atmosphere that encourages guest interaction and shared safari experiences.

Location & Getting There

The camp is strategically positioned outside Tarangire National Park on the banks of the Tarangire River, offering easy access to the park while maintaining a more intimate, wilderness setting. Located approximately 125 km from Arusha town, the journey takes 2-3 hours by road transport.

The location is also within reasonable driving distance of Mount Meru and Lake Manyara National Park, allowing for multi-destination safari circuits. The surrounding acacia woodland provides natural habitat connectivity, ensuring regular wildlife sightings throughout the year, particularly during dry seasons when animals congregate at water sources.
