Kuro Tarangire offers six safari tents with en-suite bathroom and well-designed dressing room. The rooms have high thatched roofs, which give them a lot of space and a touch of luxury. However, Kuro Tarangire has not lost its bush character, as the bathroom still 'only' has a bush shower, which will be refilled with warm water on demand. The rooms have been extended towards the front with a roofed wooden deck, where a table, chairs and a couch invite you to read and relax.

Nomad Tanzania used to operate this camp as a mobile camp with locations in the Loliondo area near Klein's Gate. It was then moved to Tarangire and is now open all year round. The camp has been extended and improved over time but luckily has not lost it's soul - overall a fantastic little camp at a great location in the middle of Tarangire National Park.

Tarangire National Park is situated some 120 km south of Arusha and renowned for its huge herds of elephant and many majestic baobab trees. The drive from Arusha to the park entry gate takes about two hours, from where it is a game drive of approximately two hours to reach the camp. The camp can also be accessed by plane from Arusha to Kuro Airstrip (25 min), followed by a 15-minute drive to camp.

Kuro Tarangire is situated inside the National Park, in the southern part of Tarangire National Park near the Silale Swamp, far from the tourist rush. The location of the camp provides guests with the unique opportunity to witness wildlife and explore the natural beauty of Tarangire National Park right from the start of their safari. Camps that are located outside the park need to pass the main gate each and every time they access the park, which minors the safari experience in our opinion.

Although this park is quite a bit smaller than say the Serengeti, the concentration and variety of wildlife is immense. During the dry months from July to October, some of the highest concentration of wildlife of any park in Tanzania can be found. Lion, leopards, cheetahs and even the rare caracal are hunting here. Buffaloes, giraffes, impala, eland antelope, kudu, waterbuck, gazelle, oryx and many other species are abundant.

The Tarangire River flows continually through the park, even during the dry season. Large concentration of animals can now be seen along the river and at various waterholes. From July, many elephants migrate from the surrounding areas into the park and refresh themselves in the cool waters of the Tarangire river and the many swamps of the park.

The camp offers game drives, walking safaris (on request), night drives (extra).
