Swala Safari Camp, Tarangire, Tanzania

According to TripAdvisor, Swala Safari Camp is the best in the entire park, but let your instincts be the judge. Set in a secluded part of one of the richest and least-visited parks in Tanzania, Swala is in the heart of Maasai country. It is surrounded by rolling savannah, punctuated by majestic – almost primeval looking – baobab trees and ancient acacia. Elephant and great prides of lions stroll across the plains, within easy sight of your luxurious room and the camp’s infinity edge pool. So you can enjoy the novel experience of watching great beasts at their watering hole, whilst you bathe in yours!

You’ll also have the sensation of giving something back. The camp’s cultural programmes include helping a local special needs school and supporting an important beekeeping project.
