A Luxurious Sanctuary Retreat Camp; Swala In the Heart Of The Tarangire National Park

Sanctuary Swala Camp is found it the heart of Maasai country in a remote corner of the Tarangire National Park. In total seclusion, surrounded by fantastic wildlife and a picturesque landscape complete with baobab trees and acacia trees, one comes across what is most probably the most luxurious camp in the Tarangire.

One does not have to venture far for wildlife sightings as the water hole in front of the lodge offers a constant stream of wildlife, including elephants and a few of the big cats.

Sanctuary Swala offers visitors a luxurious and exclusive safari experience far, far away from the crowds of the Serengeti.

The lodge has just twelve large and extremely comfortable tents, all of which have been stylishly and lavishly furnished. The bathrooms are en-suite and complete with a shower, double vanity basin and flushing toilet.

The tents are all located on wooden platforms and have been positioned to offer fantastic views of the waterhole and the surrounding bushveld of the Tarangire National Park.

For the more active guests, there are a number of activities on offer, including game drives, night drives, walking safaris and visits to the local Maasai village.

Sanctuary Swala Camp is the perfect choice for those wanting to get away from it all and enjoy a truly exclusive and luxurious safari experience.

Rooms and Suites

Twelve luxurious canvas tented suites under the shade of the surrounding acacia trees are found at Sanctuary Swala Camp. The tented suites with their own private verandahs all look out over the water hole that is frequented by wildlife day in and day out.

A particular high-lite of the camp is those en-suite bathrooms with both indoor and outdoor showers.

All suites are private in nature and positioned far enough apart that one has the sense of being alone in the bush.
