Swala Camp

Location
Tarangire National Park, Tanzania

Shaded by a stand of mature umbrella thorn trees, the 12 tents of Swala Camp merge classic safari romance with the amenities and appointments of a fine hotel. Tents feature a spacious open-plan design and are furnished with comfortable king or twin beds, campaign chairs and plush sofas. Built on raised wooden decks, each tent enjoys excellent views of the camp’s private waterhole, where a steady parade of wildlife including leopard, lion and elephant, comes to drink. The spacious en suite bathrooms provide all the creature comforts, with both indoor and private outdoor showers. Each tent also has its own personal attendant to look after individual guests’ every need.The contemporary main lounge, library, and dining area where sumptuous Pan-African meals are served, are built on a raised platform around an enormous ancient baobab tree. A stunning infinity swimming pool overlooks the water hole.

Though Tarangire National Park, the “Baobab Capital of the World,” is often overlooked in favor of Tanzania’s more famous safari destinations to the north, it rivals parks like the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater in terms of spectacular scenery and sheer abundance of wildlife. Set in the southwestern corner of the park, Swala borders the Gurunsi wetlands and sweeping savanna with views across the Tarangire River basin, offering the perfect diversity of habitats for world-class wildlife viewing. No serious safari enthusiast should miss the sheer concentration of elephants, plains animals and predators at home in this baobab-studded ecosystem. Activities include twice-daily wildlife drives, visits to a local school and a beekeeping project funded by the camp, as well as breakfasts, picnics, and sumptuous dinners served al fresco. Optional night drives and nature walks are available at an additional cost.
