From the time you step into the camp, to the time you leave, it is an experience that will take a long time to fade. As we entered the camp we were greeted by Majestic Giraffes to our left and the Docile Impala on the right. After having been received by the friendly staff with our welcome drink, the breathtaking... More

We spent the last two nights of our Tanzanian safari here, as a family party of three couples and it was a very welcome surprise. We didn't feel the camp was particularly out of the way and when we arrived and saw our tents, we were delighted at the facilities they offered and the terrific views they afforded. The camp... More

Beautiful location. Tents were great, with great views. The only water we had was 2 small bottles for brushing our teeth. When we asked for another 2 , we were rudely told they would be an extra charge. It was a very uncomfortable situation - to have to fight for drinking water. Everywhere else there was plenty of filtered water... More

We stayed here on our last night on safari and it was a wonderful experience. The management and staff were really friendly and helpful. The 'tents' are great and this is really the only sort of camping I would do eg a four poster bed with an ensuite bathroom!! I didn't sleep well and that was not down to the... More

This was our last stop of our honeymoon trip, and one that brought us closer to nature than all the other ones before! Small and intimate, with a great open building in the center for dinner (very tasty!), a drink (large selection) and an evening fire. The tents themselves are just perfect in size and features, comfortable but with no... More

We stayed here on the last night of our 9 day safari, and it was our absolute favourite lodge! There are so many wonderful things about this place... - It's small so it's intimate, rather than some of the other hideous tourist nightmares. -The view over the river is AMAZING, and the large tents are very private. -There is a...

We stayed at the Tarangire River Camp on our honeymoon to Tanzania. We were with Roy Safaris and had just done our first 1/2 day game drive through the Tarangire. Our guide told us that the camp although outside the park was still located within the conservation area. The drive from the park gate does not take too long and... More

This was a lovely respite after a long day in the park. We were greated with a comical manager who got his point across about not travelling around the camp alone after dark. If his speech wasn't enough... the elephant droppings by our tent drove home the point. The scenery was fantastic and our morning breakfast came complete with entertainment... More

We stayed 2 nights in Tarangire river camp. The place is really nice: you are close to the park, the tents overlook the river, lots of wildlife around, beautiful view. Food is very good as well. But the management is not running this place as it should... Low quality of service, not very friendly with the customers and even less... More
