The six luxurious rooms and two family rooms of the Arusha Villa are set in a beautiful garden with Mount Meru and Mount Kilimanjaro in the background. The spacious rooms have en-suite bathrooms, king-size beds, a sitting area and a private balcony or terrace.

Arusha Villa was originally a coffee roastery. In the garden elements from this time are still recognizable, for example around the pool, where in earlier days the coffee beans were washed. The beautiful garden overlooking the countryside invites you to rest in the sun. With a little luck, you‘ll even spot a Colobus Monkey in the treetops.

Built in the grounds of an old coffee roastary, Arusha Villa is situated just 40 minutes from Kilimanjaro Airport and 15 minutes from Arusha.

Kuro Tarangire offers six safari tents with en-suite bathroom and well-designed dressing room. The rooms have high thatched roofs, which give them a lot of space and a touch of luxury. However, Kuro Tarangire has not lost its bush character, as the bathroom still 'only' has a bush shower, which will be refilled with warm water on demand. The rooms have been extended towards the front with a roofed wooden deck, where a table, chairs and a couch invite you to read and relax.

Nomad Tanzania used to operate this camp as a mobile camp with locations in the Loliondo area near Klein's Gate. It was then moved to Tarangire and is now open all year round. The camp has been extended and improved over time but luckily has not lost it's soul - overall a fantastic little camp at a great location in the middle of Tarangire National Park.

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, from where it is a game drive of approximately two hours to reach the camp. The camp can also be accessed by plane from Arusha to Kuro Airstrip (25 min), followed by a 15-minute drive to camp.

Kuro Tarangire is situated inside the National Park, in the southern part of Tarangire National Park near the Silale Swamp, far from the tourist rush. The location of the camp provides guests with the unique opportunity to witness wildlife and explore the natural beauty of Tarangire National Park right from the start of their safari. Camps that are located outside the park need to pass the main gate each and every time they access the park, which minors the safari experience in our opinion.

Gibb's Farm is not only a smart destination for visiting safari guests, but also a working organic coffee, fruit and vegetable plantation. Originally built in 1929, the farm has been extending a warm welcome to guests for the past forty years.

It comprises 18 en-suite cottages, each equipped with fireplace, bathtub and veranda. Sympathetic refurbishment has continued to keep the main building up to date while retaining the farmhouse's original character.

Encircled by a historic English garden, the main building is where guests will find the restaurant, lounge and bar. The spectacular views from the veranda reach much further than the farm's plantation.

Gibb's Farm covers 3200 m2 of farmland in the Ngorongoro Highlands near Karatu. Its location makes it the ideal base from which to visit the Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara National Park.

The founders of Nomad, one of Tanzania's most renowned safari operators, chose this spectacular spot to build this camp because of the unique vantage point offered by the Kogakuria Kopjes - a high rocky outcrop affording supremely beautiful views over the Mara River Valley.

Lamai Serengeti Camp comprises a total of 8 tents of which two tents are family units. Each site has been carefully selected and any rocks, rather than being moved, have been individually integrated into the overall design. The rooms are painted in refreshingly light colours and equipped with wooden floors, comfortable beds, a large bathroom and a beautiful veranda with a view of the plain in front of the camp. In the morning, coffee is brought to your room and a new day begins...

Facilities of the main building include a natural stone pool, a lounge and a bar with comfortable seating area.

An alternative for families and friends is the private Mkombe's House. or Lamai Private Camp which is also offered on private basis only.

Lamai Serengeti sits tucked amongst the rocks of Kogakuria Kopje with panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, just a few km from where the wildebeest cross the Mara River in the Northern sector of the Serengeti National Park.

The closest airstrip is Kogatende.

Kigelia Camp is named after the many sausage trees (Kigelia Africana) that are found in and around the camp. The six rooms are located hight on the banks of the seasonal Ifuguru Sand River, a tributary of the Ruaha River. The rooms are quite large and provide space for a massive bed, en-suite bathroom with flush toilet and outdoor safari style bucket shower under the stars. There is no running water but hot and cold water is provided when requested.

At 20'220 km², Ruaha National Park is Tanzania's largest national park and still relatively rarely visited by tourists. The park was expanded to include the Usanga Wetlands in 2008 and comprises 40% miombo woodland with open savannahs, spectacular baobab, acacia and palm forests as well as several springs, swamps and seasonal floodplains making up the rest. The park is bordered in the north by the Mzombe River and in the south by the Great Ruaha River. The Usunga Game Reserve and three further game reserves surround the park almost entirely. Most camps are located at a height of approximately 800 to 1000 m above sea level; the park's highest plateau, however, sits at an impressive 1868 m above sea level. A 50 to 100 m high escarpment is testament to the fact that the Ruaha National Park is also part of the Great Rift Valley.

The park is accessed via air from Arusha or Dar Es Salaam and can be seamlessly combined with a visit to Nyerere National Park. The flight to Nyerere National Park takes approx. 1 hr 30 mins; the flight to Dar Es Salaam or Arusha, including all stops en-route, takes approx. 2.5 hrs.

The drive from Msembe Airstrip to camp takes approximately 60 minutes. Kigelia Camp is situated on the banks of the Ifuguru Sand River in the eastern part of Ruaha National Park.

Visitors to Sand Rivers are truly spoiled in the lodge's spacious stone and thatch cottages. Situated on the riverbank slope and built atop stilts, these cottages offer spectacular views of the incredible Rufiji River landscape. There are five standard, en-suite riverside cottages and three hillside suites, each equipped with a large bed, ceiling fan, extra lounge and private plunge pool. The rooms have whitewashed natural stonewalls and the open front offers uninterrupted views of the river and the animals that pass by.

The main building houses a restaurant, lounge/bar and large pool. Various decks look out over the lake and enable guests to watch the hippos often found wallowing right in front of them. Breakfast is a highlight at Sand Rivers and is usually a time when visitors slowly awake with the intake of freshly made coffee and realise just how beautiful the world can be.

Kiba Point is a chic and intimate little camp that can be booked privately by a family or group of friends (min. four adults, max. eight adults plus two children). Kiba point is situated just five minutes drive downstream from Sand Rivers. Its four stone and thatch cottages are situated on the very edge of the river and come equipped with a plunge pool and large veranda. The rooms are open-plan and airy, stylishly furnished, comfortable and of a quality similar to the suites at Sand Rivers. A further pool for those hot, lazy days can be found at the main building, which is also the place for meals and feasts. Kiba Point comes with its own cook and private guides.

Nyerere National Park, formerly known as northern part of the Selous Game Reserve, covers 30'893 km2 of wilderness and is twice as large as the Serengeti. The area was declared a National Park in 2019 and is since the largest National Park in Tanzania. At 600 km long, the Rufiji River is the longest river in East Africa and the park's life-giving vein. This ramified river system includes five large lakes (from east to west): Lake Tagalala, Lake Manze, Lake Nzerakera, Lake Siwandu and Lake Mzizimia.

The park comprises 75% miombo woodland, but most noticeable are the many wonderful palms, particularly the borassus and doum palms, as well as the many candelabra trees (euphorbia candelabrum).

Nyerere National Park is accessed by light aircraft from Dar Es Salaam and can be seamlessly combined with a trip to Ruaha National Park. The flight to Ruaha National Park takes approx. 1 hr 30 minutes; the flight to Dar Es Salaam takes approx. 35 minutes.

Sand Rivers has its own airstrip (Kiba Airstrip). The drive from the airstrip takes approximately 15 minutes. The camp is situated south of Lake Tagalala on the edge of the Rufiji River.
