Oliver's Camp
Oliver’s Camp is often regarded by most safari enthusiasts who have visited the facility, as one of the top camps in all of Tanzania. It was first established by Paul Oliver, one of the anti-poaching pioneers of the Tarangire. It is now owned by Asilia but they have managed to keep that adventurous spirit that Paul Oliver originally created. It is a great option for someone looking to get into the Tanzanian safari spirit.
Oliver’s Camp has the park’s best location by far. It is situated about 30 minutes away from Kuro Airstrip. The camp overlooks the flood plains, popular amongst the park’s huge number of elephant. It really is remote, making it a great base from which to explore the untouched southern section of the Tarangire.
The camp’s 10 tents blend seamlessly into the surrounding vegetation, and are decorated with the elegant splendour that becomes a traditional Tarangire safari camp. The location gives a feeling of exclusivity that is not so common on the northern circuit.
The main area is adorned with well worn, deep, comfy leather sofas which provide a great place to sit down, have a nice drink and soak in your surroundings.
Two particular activities of note at Oliver’s Camp are the walking safaris and the night drives. The guides are always very experienced and the night drives come equipped with a night vision scope that really makes for an unforgettable experience.
