This small and stylish camp comprises four uniquely designed ‘Bedouin style’ safari tents (think ‘Bedouin meets the Bush’), each with a large double bed (or twin beds), kelim rugs, a screened dressing area and ensuite bathroom with flush toilet and traditional bucket shower. Hammocks help to keep you cool during the heat of the day. The mess and dining tent is definitely somewhere to spend a relaxed afternoon, either inside in the library and living area – or outside in the shade of a tree lying in a hammock absorbing the solitude of the African wilderness. The Tarangire landscape is famous for its Baobab trees which almost appear to guard this ancient terrain like a standing army. Set within Tanzania’s Great Rift Valley eco-system of extensive wetlands, permanent rivers and pristine bush, the Park is a vital wildlife sanctuary which attracts masses of game – most notably, large herds of elephants, but also migratory wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, impala, gazelle and eland. Yet in addition to the excellent game drive opportunities, the Tarangire is also known for its superb walking safaris and its phenomenal birding. For more intrepid travellers, a night’s ‘fly-camping’ (bush camping) is a ‘must’. The camp moves seasonally between a number of selected sites in the more remote southern sections of the Park. During the dry season (generally from June to October), thousands of animals congregate around the Tarangire River (the only permanent water source in the area) –whilst the short rains in November and December leave the Park lush, green and full of life. The camp is closed from mid-January to May – and reopens in June.
