Tarangire is a great mid-range tented camp in the tarangire area (as you might imagine). It has a stunning cliff-top setting with vistas over the river to the park. I wasn’t truly crazy about this camp but the setting is a winner, especially if you take one of the river-side tents. The honeymoon suite, with spa bath and outdoor shower, is extra money, if you feel like treating yourself.
Note that the family tents are set away from the cliffside for safety purposes but this does mean that much of the charm is lost if you are a family.
I was surprised and pleased by the quantity of game we saw on our short (and quite bumpy) ride from the park gates to the lodge. In all the drive took only 15 minutes, plus stops for photos.
So positives ars stunning setting, good quality tents, friendly and engaging manager and staff and short distance to the park.
Negatives were that the food was a little hit and miss, some great options, some disappointing. I also felt that the main area decor could do with a softs refurb to give it a more upmarket ambience.
