Tarangire Roikia Tented Camp

Tarangire Roikia Tented Camp

Tarangire

Located just outside the boundary of Tarangire National Park in northern Tanzania. This intimate camp offers a genuine wilderness experience, allowing you to immerse yourself in the untamed beauty of the country.

There are 21 spacious canvas tents, each set on a raised wooden platform and with en-suite bathrooms and private verandas, providing a comfortable retreat after a day of exploring. The verandas have sweeping views of the bush, where you may spot wildlife wandering nearby. The camp also has a swimming pool and comfortable public areas, including a bar / dining area.

One of the main attractions of the camp is its proximity to Tarangire National Park, one of Tanzania's premier wildlife destinations. The park is renowned for its large elephant population, with herds of up to 300 individuals often seen migrating through the park. On guided game drives you may encounter a diverse range of wildlife, including lion, leopard, cheetah, buffalo, giraffe, and zebra. The park is also a haven for birdwatchers, boasting over 550 species of birds, including the striking Kori bustard and the colourful lilac-breasted roller.

In addition to game drives, the camp offers guided walking safaris, where you can explore the surroundings on foot, accompanied by an experienced guide. These walks provide a more intimate perspective on the flora and fauna of the region, as well as insights into the smaller creatures often overlooked during a game drive. The camp’s bar and lounge provide a relaxing atmosphere to unwind with a drink after a day of adventure.

How our Tent Ratings work

These are based on our personal experience of the hotel, camp or lodge and should not be compared against ratings you find elsewhere. We intend to guide you and don’t be put off by a low tent rating as some of our favourites fall into the 2 and 3-tent categories.​

It is also important to bear in mind that standards vary from country to country and a 4-tent hotel in South Africa cannot be compared with a 4-tent hotel in another part of the world. 

To summarise our grading system, we have considered the following.
