Oliver’s Camp

Tarangire and Manyara National Parks, Tanzania

Oliver’s Camp and Little Oliver’s Camp are both situated in the exclusive southern part of Tarangire National Park. Placed only a few minutes’ drive from one another, they blend perfectly into the natural flora of Tarangire.

Providing an immersive bush experience and often visited by passing wildlife, the tents of Oliver’s and Little Oliver’s are well spaced – ensuring intimacy, exclusivity and tranquillity.

Twice the size of its smaller offshoot, Oliver’s Camp still contains just 10 spacious tents, protected by rustic thatched roofs. These airy, self-contained constructions look out over the Monyonyo Floodplains – perfectly positioned to observe the spectacular setting of the fast-moving Tanzanian sun. Comfortable and beautifully appointed, each tent features impressive bathroom facilities – with both hot outdoor and indoor showers available.

Why we like Oliver's Camp

Curious four-legged visitors are a common occurrence at both of these unfenced, unobtrusive camps. Elephants and antelopes are both regulars, while lions, leopards and hyenas have all been spotted. To capture these night-time explorers, Oliver’s has a well-positioned camera trap, with images available to browse on the camp manager’s laptop.

Activities

Activities available at both camps include daytime and night-time game drives in open 4×4 vehicles, walking safaris led by one of the expert walking guides, fly camping, bush picnics and stargazing.

We have had some fantastic experiences with Steppes in the past, but have to say this trip was really up there. The lodge suggested by Ilona was amazing, transfers were fantastic, the communication beforehand from both Ilona and Vanessa was wonderful and the help we received when we had one small hiccup at our first hotel was outstanding. Thanks so much.

Tanzania

We had an amazing trip and would do it again. While I indicated that we would not travel back to Tanzania, that is not a reflection on Tanzania, but rather our interest in exploring other places before making a return trip.
