Tarangire Ndovu Lodge offers 15 tents, which are slightly elevated on wooden platforms. One of the tents is called the Honeymoon Tent and features an additional outdoor shower. 2 x two standard tents can be connected to form two family rooms with two bedrooms each. Each tent is 20 metres long and 8 metres wide and offers enough space for a beautiful double bed, lounge chair, desk and en-suite bathroom with dressing room. Sliding doors open onto the covered balcony, from which a small staircase leads to the path connecting the rooms to the main building.

The main building comprises a lounge with bar, the dining tent, the spa and a souvenir shop. The large deck in front of the lodge leads to the pool and fire pit. The lodge is situated in the centre of Tarangire National Park and is open all year round.

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 one hour to reach the camp. The camp can also be accessed by plane from Arusha to Kuro Airstrip (25 min), followed by a 45-minute drive to camp.

Tarangire Ndovu is situated inside the National Park, in the central part of Tarangire National Park. 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 and walking safaris (on request).
