Set to become one of Tanzania’s most iconic retreats, Sanctuary Swala Camp is now fully open following a US$1.5 million rebuild. The camp now offers guests a completely new safari experience of ‘luxury, naturally’ whilst causing minimum impact on the local environment.

Developed to the highest eco-friendly standards, the camp is located in a secluded area of Tarangire National Park. As one of the country’s most exciting yet least visited parks, guests will often only share their visit with the large herds of elephants that favour this exclusive corner of the park. It is also fast building a reputation for being one of the best
locations to get up close to bat-eared foxes.

Each of the 12 luxurious canvas pavilions has been exquisitely designed to a spacious open plan basis, with large living area, king bed and en suite bathroom with both indoor and outdoor showers.

Floor to ceiling canvas windows lead onto large private lounge decks that overlook the main watering hole which regularly draws lions, leopards and resident bull elephants for which Sanctuary Swala Camp is famed.

A stunning infinity swimming pool has been added and the new main dining and lounge areas feature chic, contemporary African design below traditional thatched roof structures. The extensive decked area provides the perfect setting for leisurely sundowners and elegant al fresco dining whilst enjoying outstanding views over the waterhole and valley beyond.

Taking safari to a new level of “luxury”, the camp is sumptuous whilst still retaining the feeling of living in the African bush. The wilderness experience is accentuated by unparalleled guiding expertise and will soon offer the exciting option of walking safaris.
