The small camp provides an intimate atmosphere for only 16 guests. The large tents are equipped with running hot water, bucket showers, mosquito nets and electricity powered by solar energy.

Serengeti Savannah Camp (Serengeti)

Lodge on hillSerengeti Savannah Camps are about a safe and fun "bush" experience with the simple comforts of a private safari camp.

The timing of the Great Wildebeest Migration is difficult to predict as it depends on when and where rain falls, so each camp is set to be where The Migration will typically be but also close to areas with resident wildlife.

Mbuzi Mawe (Serengeti)

A place of infinite calm surrounded by untamed majesty, offering a timeless blend of classic safari rustic and world-class professionalism.

A private encampment of 16 superbly luxurious tents guarded by sentinel towers of majestic granite. All have ceiling fans, mosquito nets, and accessibility for disabled. 

Boundary Hill Lodge (Tarangire)

One of the few lodges in Tanzania to be located in its own exclusive Conservation Area, Lokisale Village has set aside 164 square kilometers for walking safaris, night drives and fly camping.

Consisting of only eight very spacious individually designed rooms, the lodge is designed to offer as much privacy as possible.  Built in harmony with the environment, the rooms offer unparalleled comfort and quietly understated luxury. All have en-suite facilities with separate showers and five are double suites with cast-iron baths.

The swimming pool, which has the natural rock features as its walls, provides a refreshing respite from the rigors of travel.

Swala Camp (Tarangire)

Nestled in a beautiful acacia forest in southwestern Tarangire, this camp has 9 private permanent tents with private terraces and en suite bathrooms overlooking the bush and the Tarangire River basin.

Tarangire River Camp (Tarangire)

This semi-permanent luxury tented camp overlooks the Tarangire River and offers stunning views of the meandering river, the vast plains across the park, Lake Manyara, the Rift Valley and the Ngorongoro highlands.

The tents are tastefully furnished with all the comforts you will need while on safari and open out onto stunning views of Mt. Meru and Mt. Kilimanjaro.

The camp provides close access to premier wildlife viewing areas of the park. Additional activities include tribal visits with Datoga and bush walks with Maasai who live in the area.

Kisima Ngeda Tented Camp (Lake eyasi)

The camp is beautifully set in a date palm and acacia forest and is part of large family-owned farm with a natural spring nearby which feeds into the lake. It is also home to the Wahadzabe, an ancient, nomadic tribe of Bushmen who are one of the last click-speaking hunter-gatherer tribes.

The tents are carefully created to be low-impact, spacious and totally comfortable.  Each has a stunning view of the lake. Constructed almost entirely with palms and trees from the property, each of Kisima Ngeda's seven tents are built on a permanent wooden platform with a palm thatched roof.  Each comes with a hand-carved bed, enclosed bathroom, and shower with hot water.
