Oliver's Camp
Kwihala Camp
– Deep inside the southern section of spectacular Tarangire National Park
– Spectacular concentrations of wildlife in a beautifully diverse landscape
One of the best-kept secrets among travelers seeking a real bush experience, this luxury camp of ten beautifully appointed tents is close to the animal-dense Silale Swamps. Set in the secluded Tarangire National Park, it celebrates back-to-basics luxury in one of the least crowded corners of East Africa.
Kwihala is a small camp of just six well-spaced tents in magnificent Ruaha National Park. Well off-the-beaten-track, Kwihala combines raw beauty with simple excellence. This new safari frontier in Tanzania offers an unconstrained landscape of baobab forests, granite kopjes, open plains, cooling rivers and woodland valleys. Largely unexplored, Ruaha is as remote as you can get in East Africa. Few have heard of it. None will forget it.
Some of the best guides in the business lead guests through a landscape boasting everything from herds of buffalo to baobab forests. Feel the dust of Africa beneath your boots on a walking safari. Drink in the cool moist air of a night drive. Allow the scent of warm rain to fill your nostrils. This is Africa, untamed – just as it should be. Map ref: 148

Sip sundowners around the campfire, as you listen for the calls of animals in the distance. Compiling your own collection of African wilderness memories can be life-changing. Escape to an African sanctuary.
Saruni Samburu
Chada Katavi
– With incredible 360° views from every vista
– About as far away as you can possibly get from the tourist circuit
There is no other lodge like Saruni Samburu in Kenya. Far off the beaten track on 200,000 acres of pristine land very close to the action, this unique experience shows you more than just wildlife. Experience incredible interactions with local Samburu guides and staff and become immersed in their culture, history and traditions.
Katavi National Park remains one of Africa’s greatest wildlife experiences. Even today, few people have been lucky enough to visit this park in the far west of Tanzania. Far from anywhere, it has mythical status, while being close to a great density of mammals. The last great herds of buffalo in East Africa mass in their hundreds nearby.
Saruni Samburu offers a first-class safari and an undeniable "wow" factor from beginning to end. Staying here is humbling, truly special and a fully interactive cultural experience.
Rivers groan with hippopotamuses and crocodiles, while everywhere you look, creatures are grazing, bellowing, fighting, mating or hunting. Chada Katavi gets you right into the thick of it. With some of Tanzania's most experienced guides and the opportunity to head out flycamping, this camp captures the true essence of safari.
