Olivers Camp

Olivers Camp is a lovely tented property, situated in the remote south of Tarangire National park, close to the Silale swamps. It is the perfect spot from which to explore this fascinating wilderness.

Olivers is a charming safari camp that’s been a long-standing feature of Tarangire and is now run by the experienced team at Asilia Africa. The surrounding swamps and baobab plains offer a captivating landscape in which to immerse oneself. In the dry season of June-October the wildlife is particularly abundant with animals migrating from miles around to the heart of the park.

Accommodation is provided in ten classic safari tents, each with its own ensuite bathroom complete with indoor and outdoor shower. One of the highlights of the camp is the expansive, two-storey deck overlooking the flood plains. Meals are served out here and it’s an excellent place to relax during the day with a book, glancing out to the passing wildlife.

Activities are numerous and we can speak from first-hand experience that the walking safari guides at Olivers Camp are true experts of their craft. Trekking through the wilderness observing the resident flora and fauna is an experience that lives long in the memory.

Night drives and hot-air balloon safaris can also be arranged from Oliver’s at an additional cost. As night falls and the calls of lion can be heard rumbling across the plains, camp residents gather around the fire to share stories and a drink or two.
