Located in Tanzania’s intriguing Tarangire National Park, Tarangire Ndovu Camp offers a traditional tented safari experience along the famous northern safari circuit. The park is best known for its large elephant herds and rare tree-climbing lions, and game viewing becomes second to none in the dry season (about June to October) when wildlife flock to the Tarangire River for water. Look out for unusual savannah specialists that are endemic to the area such as the long-necked gerenuk, as well as other iconic wildlife like buffalo, giraffe, wildebeest, antelope, and zebra.

As one of Tanzania’s lesser-known reserves, you will enjoy crowd-free game viewing and can truly get to grips with the great vastness of Africa, its peace, and its tranquillity. The golden plains of Tarangire are punctuated with open woodlands, dense riverine forests (ideal coverage for leopards), and a high density of Africa’s most iconic tree, the baobab. Ndovu is a mobile camp allowing you to experience the best that Tarangire has to offer at various locations throughout the year, and its mobile nature means a lighter footprint on the environment as well as an authentic and down-to-earth experience.

Rooms

Tented Suite

Each canvas tent is spacious and generously furnished with the entire front zipping open to reveal the Tarangire landscape. Suites are fitted with a storage chest, wardrobe, luggage rack, bedside tables, and double, twin, triple, or quad beds – all of which have custom-made mosquito netting. Little extras such as robes and slippers, imported cotton sheets, and netted windows for natural cooling add extra comfort to your stay - in addition to your en suite bathroom.

Facilities

The lodge practices responsible tourism and is illuminated each evening by an extensive solar lighting system, with romantic lanterns lighting up the pathways between tented suites and the main camp. Be transported back to the days of early African explorers in the dining and lounge tent or enjoy drinks around the nightly campfire as the sun sets on another day in the Tarangire wilderness. There is no electricity at the camp but a generator runs in the evenings for charging electronic devices and cameras.

Dining

Enjoy simple but wholesome cuisine that is lovingly prepared by experienced safari chefs. Festive meals are taken at the dining table with fellow guests, followed by evenings around the campfire where you can share your wildlife encounters over a nightcap made from African marula fruit.
