Conserve Safari Tarangire is a new luxury tented camp inside Tarangire National Park, set beside the Tarangire River, about 5 km from the Matete picnic site. It is one of two camps run by Conserve Safari Camps & Lodges, which also has a camp on the Ikoma side of the central Serengeti.
The river is the reason to stay here. In the dry season it is the main source of water for the wildlife of the whole area, so elephants and other animals gather along it, and a camp on its banks puts you close to the action from the first drive of the morning.
What it's like
There are two tent types. A Safari Suite is a single 45 m² room with a full en-suite bathroom, set up as a double, a twin or a triple. A Family Suite joins two of these rooms, each with its own bathroom, which works well for parents with children. Wi-Fi is available in the main dining and lounge tent.
Meals are full board, with an all-inclusive option that adds house wines, beer, soft drinks and cocktails. The wine list was put together by Raimonds Tomsons, named Best Sommelier of the World in 2023. The camp can arrange bush breakfasts and dinners, private sundowners, ranger-led walks of about three hours from camp and night game drives, which Tarangire is one of the few northern parks to allow. On our safaris your daytime game drives are with your own private guide and vehicle.
Getting there
Times are best estimates. The camp is deeper inside the park than the gate area, so allow extra time on park tracks from the gate, more if you stop for game on the way.
Park fees
The camp is inside Tarangire National Park, so park entry fees and a nightly park fee for staying inside the park apply. The camp's rates do not include these, and we show them as separate lines in your quote. Current figures are on our park fees page. See Tanzania park fees.
Who it suits
A good fit for
- Two or more nights in Tarangire in the dry season, from June to October
- Families, with the two-room Family Suites
- Guests who want to add a night drive or a walk to their game drives
- Wine lovers, with a list chosen by an award-winning sommelier
Look elsewhere for
- Travellers who want solid walls, as this is a tented camp
- Guests keeping costs down in the high season, as staying inside the park carries a nightly park fee
When to go
Tarangire is best from June to October, when animals gather along the river. The camp's quietest months are March to May, November and the first half of December, when the park is green and there are fewer vehicles.
