About Little Oliver’s Camp, Tarangire

The style and attention to detail replicates that of Oliver's except it is more private with just five luxurious tents available- perfect for larger groups or families to stay exclusively. There are renowned guides always on hand to teach you about your beautiful surroundings.

Each tent also has a private veranda which is a welcome spot for a sundowner before dinner.

Dinner is a little more formal with three dishes served at the communal table; a perfect time to get to know your fellow travellers and exchange your exciting stories of the day.

Activities

Little Oliver’s places huge emphasis on ensuring its guests witness as much of the incredible flora and fauna in the surrounds as possible. There are daily game drives which often take place early morning when the animals awaken or during the night when there are often many predators around. The knowledgeable guides also have specific permits which allow them to take guests on guided walks within Tarangire National Park itself. There is also the opportunity to go fly camping where you will pack small bag and drive into the wilderness; where you will stop is dependent on where the wildlife is.
