Tarangire Baobab Tented Camp

10 tents inside the park, on a wildlife corridor

Tarangire Baobab Tented Camp, run by Mawe Lodges as Baobab Tented Camp, is a small camp inside Tarangire National Park. It stands among old baobab trees on the Lake Burunge corridor. Elephants and other wildlife regularly use the surrounding corridor, and with just 10 tents and no fence, animals, including elephants, move through camp.

We plan Tanzania as part of a combined Kenya & Tanzania safari. See our Kenya & Tanzania safaris.
