Rustic luxury meets adventure in wild, baobab-filled Tarangire landscapes
Unique treehouse experience deep in Tarangire’s wild, untamed heart
Location: Tarangire Treetops is perfectly situated within Tarangire National Park, a lesser-known but spectacular gem in northern Tanzania. The park is famous for its huge elephant herds, ancient baobab trees, and seasonal swamps, creating a unique and diverse landscape that feels untouched and wild. Being inside the park means guests can wake to the sounds of nature right on their doorstep, with wildlife wandering close to the camp throughout the day. The location offers a quieter, more intimate safari experience compared to the busier northern circuit parks, yet it still boasts incredible wildlife sightings year-round.
Rooms: The camp consists of 20 elevated treehouse suites, each thoughtfully designed to blend rustic charm with comfort. Raised high above the ground on wooden platforms, the suites offer incredible privacy and unobstructed views over the surrounding savannah and woodlands. Inside, guests find spacious rooms with en-suite bathrooms, cosy bedding, and outdoor decks ideal for wildlife watching. The open-air design ensures a true connection with nature, while quality furnishings and thoughtful touches maintain a high level of comfort throughout the stay. It's a perfect balance of adventure and relaxation.
Amenities: Despite its remote setting, Tarangire Treetops delivers a strong range of amenities to enhance guest comfort. There is a central lounge and dining area built around a large ancient baobab tree, creating a stunning focal point for socialising and meals. A pool offers a refreshing break from the heat, whole a well-stocked bar serves local and international drinks. The camp's design incorporates sustainable features like solar power and water-saving measures without compromising style or convenience. Evening campfires and stargazing opportunities round off memorable days spend immersed in the African wilderness.
Activities: Guests at Tarangire Treetops enjoy access to a variety of safari experiences that showcase the park's incredible biodiversity. Game drives are the real highlight, with expert guides revealing the secrets of Tarangire's resident elephants, lions, leopards, and countless bird species. Walking safaris offer a more intimate connection with the landscape and smaller wildlife, while cultural visits provide insight into local Maasai traditions and lifestyles. Seasonal boat safaris on the nearby Tarangire River are another special way to explore the region, giving a fresh perspective on the wildlife and scenery.
