Swalla Camp
Sometimes less really is more. Fewer people, more animals. No crowds, better experience. So it is at Swala Camp, in Tanzania’s magnificent yet relatively little visited Tarangire National Park. It’s not exactly undiscovered or any kind of secret – the park’s thriving elephant population is world-famous – but a wonderful serenity prevails. The camp’s name alludes to its resident herd of impala, though their presence at the waterhole attracts a lot of other wildlife too – the interest of the lurking lions and leopards may not be entirely benign.

Facilities include:
Located deep inside Maasai country in Tarangire National Park, one of Tanzania’s most captivating but least-visited wilderness regions, Swala Camp has been consciously crafted in every detail to bring guests closer to nature. It fits snugly and sensitively into its surroundings beneath a natural canopy of acacia trees – stilted, thatched-roof communal areas are well-placed vantage points, a swimming pool is tucked neatly at the foot of an ancient baobab tree, a bijou boutique sells locally crafted wares, and just 12 spacious guest tents (with delightful outdoor showers) are pitched precisely for optimum views of the wildlife-drawing savannah.
