Swala hides in a grove of ancient baobabs in Tarangire’s quiet southwestern reaches, far from the northern gate’s day traffic — twelve elegant tents facing a waterhole that elephants treat as their local.
Tarangire’s dry-season spectacle — some of Africa’s largest elephant concentrations — plays out here with the park nearly to yourself, and lion regularly hunt within sight of camp.
Tarangire’s quiet southwestern corner — elephants at the camp waterhole and hardly another vehicle.
— Evance & JenniferYou never pay more than booking direct — usually less. And everything around your stay is handled.
As a trade partner we access preferred rates and seasonal offers the camp doesn’t always publish — you’ll never pay more than booking direct. And a camp can only sell you its own rooms; we build the journey around it: international flights, the right nights, and where you go next.
A private car waiting at Kilimanjaro airport, light-aircraft hops timed to your route, and a guide who already knows your name. Book direct and the gaps become your problem; book with us and there are none.
We know when Tarangire’s south outperforms its famous north — and how Swala’s remoteness pairs with Chem Chem’s concession or the crater on a northern circuit.
A missed flight, a weather delay, a change of heart mid-trip — you contact one person, and we re-arrange everything behind the scenes. The camp looks after you on property; we look after the whole journey.
Epic luxury safaris and just magical. I was referred by a friend in the USA — Evance customized our trip beautifully, the accommodation was first class and our guide so professional. Will definitely be back.
