This was hands down the coolest place we stayed on our trip through Tanzania in Jan 2013, it's definitely off the beaten path but the drive to this tented camp was well worth the wait it allows for you to see how the Masai live off the land. The camp itself is run by a very welcoming couple who take... More

We arrived by a back route as the main road had been washed away: the supply truck stuck in the river! We had a warm welcome, great food and very well equipped tents on stilts: ours built into a baobab tree. we only stayed 1 night, but would happily stayed a second. The views over the river are lovely and... More

One of the things I especially wanted on our Tanzania safari was to spend at least one night in a tented camp. We could not have chosen a more perfect option. We loved the fact that the lounge and restaurant area were completely open. The tent cabins were very well appointed and comfortable. We could not have been more pleased... More

This is a beautiful tented camp right on the river near Tarangire. The tents are nicer than the Tarangire Safari Lodge for about the same price, but you are outside the park. The tents have wood floors, have large bathrooms, are nicely decorated, are all on stilts. There are 11 tents are right on the ridge, and the rest are... More

Dining area and tents lie high above a river so spectacular views are guaranteed. Even though the camp is just outside the park boundaries of Tarangire National Park it takes 20 to 30 minutes to get from park entrance to the lodge because the road takes quite a loop through the neighbouring rural area. Friendly staff, clean spacious tents with... More

Every question was answered, excellent individual attention. Safari jeeps were in good condition and guides/drivers had good knowledge and drove safely. Tarangire river camp was great, beautiful...

We stayed for two nights after having seen lodges and camps in Serengeti, Ngoro, Lake Manyara - this seemed to us the best location for Safari: - very romantic setting above the river Tarangire, relaxing atmosphere! - very helpful, friendly staff and management. - if you are for a short Safari, this is the best place to go, as it...

Staying in a palce like this is a dream. You are surrounded by nature, listening to the birds and watching monkeys and many other animals coming near your tent. These tents are beautiful and comfy (except that you don't always hot water since it's heated with solar panels) but it's large and with a wonderful view. The food was very... More

We stayed here on the first night of our safari trip - the accomodation was recommended by Imagine Africa, so well done to them. We had spent the afternoon in the Tarangire National Park before making our way to the camp along the bumpy road and then crossing the river. We were met on arrival by staff bearing flannels and...

We stayed for 2 nights in January 2013 whilst on safari. The camp is located 20 minutes from the road across a dried up river bed (dried up in January anyway!). The lodge had around a dozen permanent tents overlooking the river bed, with passing wildlife. We saw elephant, giraffe and warthog and heard in the night baboons (being attacked... More
