Swala Camp

Swala Camp | Information

Swala Camp is located within Tarangire National Park borders. The park is an easy 115 Kms from Arusha on an excellent road and the camp itself is another 67 kilometres into the park. This section of the park is exceptionally private with no other camps around. Swala camp itself is located under a canopy of Acacia tortillis, creating a beautiful setting. Swala's nine private, permanent tents feature ensuite bathrooms with showers, complemented by fittings and fixtures crafted from local materials to mirror the understated elegance of the time-honoured safari style.

The elevated terraces on the tents are appointed towards the waterhole that attracts wildlife year-round to ensure that your African wildlife experiences do not finish when you leave your vehicle. Meals are taken in the comfortable dining tent, with full silver service, Pan-African cuisine and fine wines adding to the "country house under canvas" ambience. Swala's accomplished hosts, personal tent attendants, safari guides and Masai askaris that accompany you to your tent at night enhance your stay with their own personalized African affability, professionalism and knowledge.

Wildlife & Game Viewing

Nestled in a remote pocket of Tarangire National Park, Swala Camp is sited in a woodland of acacia trees at the edge of the Gurusi wetlands and the unfurling savannah beyond. The stands of ancient baobab trees, large family herds of elephants, prolific bird life and dry season concentrations of wildlife make Tarangire the classic Africa of lore The park’s name is derived from the Tarangire River,the park’s only source of permanent water.

Tarangire is noted for its elephant population and spectacular baobabs of every shape and colour. In the dry season this river is the lifeline, attracting much of the game. Huge herds of elephant and greater kudu. Oryx are what the park is synonymous with. In addition, leopard, lion and the African rock pythons often inhabit the trees. Due to the low volume of traffic in the park, the game is “wild”, being unaccustomed to vehicles, this offers a truly unique experience. Swala is the only water source for a 20km radius, attracting a vast array of animals, offering incredible game viewing from your verandah.
