Ang’ata Tarangire Camp

Ang’ata Tarangire Camp is in the center of the massive Tarangire National Park and looks towards the Tarangire River. It is also near the Kuro Airstrip and well-placed for the Silale Swamp Plains, a meeting point for large herds of elephants.

To reach Ang’ata Tarangire Camp, you can drive from Arusha Airport to the camp, which is just a 120km/2hrs drive. Or you can fly with a domestic flight from the Arusha or Kilimanjaro airport to Kuros Airstrip, which is only a few kilometers away from the camp.

The highlight of a stay here is to experience the Tarangire national park and watch its wildlife. You can add to this with exciting night game drives or an equally adventurous walking safari in the company of an armed ranger. Another option would be to take a balloon safari or dine out in the open with a bush lunch or dinner. Further details and prices are available by contacting our Accommodation expert.

Ang’ata Tarangire Camp has tents that are tightly sealed and kept zipped tight, so in reality, there is no real need for mosquito netting. While you enjoy dinner, the housekeeping staff will complete a turndown service and spray the rooms with mosquito repellent. Nevertheless, the rooms do have mosquito netting. We advise you to bring mosquito repellent with DEET and to wear trousers or slacks, a sports/long-sleeved shirt and blouse, and a dress/skirt for ladies.

It is useful to arrive at the camp with sufficient cash to pay for extra drinks and staff gratuities. Banknotes such as 5-dollar, 10-dollar, and 20-dollar bills are best. Poor network coverage in the parking area may mean the card machine is not always working. Most of the time, you can use US Dollars in Tanzania, particularly in tourist areas, and major credit cards are accepted at most hotels, lodges, and camps. However, we advise having some local currency on you if you want to purchase from a local shop. Major towns and airports have forex bureaus where you can exchange most major currencies such as US Dollars, British Pounds, Euros, etc.

The camp does provide wheelchair access, but we would ask you to contact us in advance for a chance to discuss your specific requirements.

There are no fences around the camp so that wildlife may pass through at any time. It would be best if you were watchful when walking around the camp. Staff is always available to escort you, and you will always be accompanied after dark.
