Tarangire River Camp is set within 25,000 hectares of private concession area, included on the land is a branch of the Tarangire River itself, which the camp overlooks. Traditional grass thatching adorns the roof of the main lodge structure, which is set off the ground on an elevated deck. The dining area, where culturally inspiring meals are served, consists of simple safari style seating and the elevated position allows for excellent views over the riverbank below. A smaller, secondary game viewing deck rises above the ceiling and offers a high, intimate perch above it all.
Accommodation consists of spacious tents built on wooden platforms with a thatched roof, all of which are en-suite and tastefully furnished with all the comforts you will need whilst on safari. Each tent's generously proportioned private veranda open out onto stunning views of Mount Meru and Mount Kilimanjaro in the distant horizon and several of the tents also offer views of the river.
The advantage of being located outside the park is that various activities not permitted within any of Tanzania's northern National Parks, are possible including guided walking safaris. Other activities include game drives, bird watching on the shores of Lake Manyara and cultural safaris visiting the Maasai and Datoga people whose bomas populate adjacent land.
