Sultans of the Savanna:

Nomad Tarangire Safari Camp is the epitome of bohemian, exotic luxury: a unique African wildlife adventure with a dash of Bedouin chic. This exclusive, stylish new camp offers some of the richest wildlife viewing opportunities in all of Tanzania. Your experience here will combine pampered laziness and unforgettable adventures, in a remote area intentionally off the beaten-track of typical African safari tourism.

About the camp. The camp’s four billowing Bedouin-style tents are set deep in Tarangire National Park, a 1,000-square-mile ecosystem known for its large concentration of elephants, migratory wildebeest and other grazing animals. From the camp couples or groups of guests can venture out to wildlife viewing areas – either on foot or in a Land Rover – accompanied by a private guide.

The gorgeous tents feature romantic Moorish arches framing an inner chamber furnished with large, sumptuous beds. This section has roll-down canvas sides and shade netting. An outer area, candlelit at night by lanterns, is strewn with large, richly woven kilim rugs, carved Arabic-style tables and chairs, a discreet screened dressing area, and an en-suite bathroom with modern amenities.

The camp also includes a spacious mess and dining tent, its table set with brass lamps from Turkey. You will also be invited to lounge in the library tent ; imagine reading while nestled into the tent’s large, comfortable Oriental throw pillows. If you’re in an especially lazy mood, you can always while away a perfect afternoon in a hammock strung between trees.

When you’re feeling more adventurous, you can arrange to fly camp: taking a daylong walking safari and sleeping out in the open under a mosquito net. This offers an opportunity to see wildlife up close and gives visitors a thrilling experience of hearing the nighttime sounds of the bush under a star-filled African sky.

About the park. The Tarangire National Park park, bisected by the permanently running Tarangire River, includes vast variety of habitats, from open plains to acacia woodlands, winding dry riverbeds and vast swamps. The park is particularly known for the towering baobab trees that thrive here even in the dry season.

Although the northern section of the park can be crowded with tourists, Nomad Tarangire moves among selected campsites in the remote, seldom-visited south end of the park, where during the dry months – June to October – myriad creatures crowd around the waterholes. It isn’t unusual to see lions, leopards, giraffes, Thompson’s gazelles, African buffalo, hippos and hundreds of bird species, along with the huge elephant herds for which the park is famous.

Come stay with us at Nomad Tarangire and enjoy the East African safari of your dreams.
