Intro

If you are looking for an authentic safari experience under traditional canvas showcasing spacious views and enriching culture, Tarangire River Camp, where there is always a warm welcome and a wonderful atmosphere, is the perfect choice.

Set within a 25,000-hectare concession area, 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.

The twenty-one elegantly furnished safari tents are all equipped with en-suite bathrooms and private verandahs. Families can benefit further by being accommodated in our Family Safari Rooms. Nestled between the Maasai Steppe and The Great Rift Valley, Tarangire features the greatest concentration of wildlife outside the Serengeti. It is the distinct animal life of the park’s river that serves as the primary attraction.

During the dry season, elephant dig deep into the riverbed while antelope congregate around shrinking waterholes, closely followed by predatory animals like lion and leopard. Tarangire is also the country’s bird and baobab paradise. Day activities include game viewing, bird watching on Lake Manyara, or cultural visits to the bomas of the Maasai and Datoga people.

In the evenings, picturesque views of the river can be enjoyed from the elevated restaurant, lounge and fireplace.
