Lolkisale camp is composed of eight, custom-designed luxury safari tents, each equipped with a king or 2 single beds, en-suite bathroom, lounge area, verandah and outside shower.
Location
Tarangire National Park is situated some 120 km south of Arusha and renowned for its huge herds of elephant and many majestic baobab trees. The drive from Arusha to the park entry gate takes about two hours.
You visit Lolkisale either with your private guide or by plane. The flight from Arusha to Kuro Airstrip takes about 25 minutes, followed by a game drive to the lodge.
Wildlife
Although this park is quite a bit smaller than say the Serengeti, the concentration and variety of wildlife is immense. During the dry months from July to October, some of the highest concentration of wildlife of any park in Tanzania can be found. Lion, leopards, cheetahs and even the rare caracal are hunting here. Buffaloes, giraffes, impala, eland antelope, kudu, waterbuck, gazelle, oryx and many other species are abundant.
The Tarangire River flows continually through the park, even during the dry season. Large concentration of animals can now be seen along the river and at various waterholes. From July, many elephants migrate from the surrounding areas into the park and refresh themselves in the cool waters of the Tarangire river and the many swamps of the park.
Activities
The camp offers game drives, walking safaris (on request), night drives (extra).
