Exciting walking safaris and thrilling night game drives can be enjoyed from camp, or join a hot-air balloon safari and soar over the Tarangire plains at sunrise. Our knowledgeable guides are at your side to help you explore the wilderness of Tarangire and the adventure of Oliver’s Camp.

ACCOMMODATION & AMENITIES

Oliver’s Camp has 15 tents, split between two wings of five and ten, respectively. Two family tents and a honeymoon tent are included. Each wing has a lounge and dining room, with views across the floodplains of the Tarangire River. Nestled between the wings, a cocktail bar and pool deck, offer the perfect spot in which to cool off and while away the early afternoon. Tents are spacious and comfortable, providing en suite bathrooms, and indoor and outdoor showers. You can relax and enjoy the serenity of the bush and generous landscapes from your private deck, accompanied by a favorite beverage. Oliver’s Camp is situated in the southeastern region of Tarangire National Park in Tanzania.

It’s located within the beautiful and wildlife-rich Silale Swamps, where you’ll find stunning wildflowers and an impressive variety of wildlife. Savor a sense of wilderness created by the exclusive location of the camp and enjoy the comforts of home while immersing yourself in the African landscapes. During the dry season, Tarangire is home to the highest number of mammals in the country, including wild dogs, big cats, elephants, buffalo, kudu, and over 500 bird species. The Silale Swamps provide a permanent water source throughout the dry months, and Oliver’s Camp is in prime position to enjoy the wildlife display it delivers.

The dry season starts in June, although the park is still lush and green after the long rains. Traveling in late June offers rewarding game viewing without the high season prices. The dry season steadily takes hold through the coming months, thinning the vegetation and seeing a large influx of wildlife into the park, creating excellent game viewing conditions. The Silale Swamps are a hive of activity, seeing large herds of elephants and buffalo daily.

October - January

October is the last month of the dry season, offering the best walking safari conditions and excellent game viewing. The short rains arrive in November, offering the landscape and wildlife some refreshment and dampening the dust, creating excellent photography conditions. Migratory birds arrive, adding to the already impressive resident numbers. Vegetation is green, but not yet thick, still offering excellent game viewing with fewer visitors in the park. January is warm and sunny, with the occasional short shower, but predominantly clear skies.

February - May

High:27°C / 80°F

Low:17°C / 62°F

Rainfall:97MM / 3.8IN

January conditions continue into February, with the park steadily becoming increasingly lush. Birding is excellent and the weather conditions lend themselves well to photography. By early March, signs of the approaching rains can be seen in the afternoon cloud cover, usually arriving around mid-month. The camp closes for the rainy season, as logistics become challenging with poor road conditions, reopening in mid-May once the rains have mostly ended and the park is green and in bloom.
