Our Tortilis Tents

Our tents are always a surprise to our visitors who feel more like they are in a comfortable lodge than in a simple tent. We’ve put a lot of thought and creativity into the layout and interior design, as well as the decoration, materials, fabrics and items that each of our tents are created from. The result is a unique East African, spacious and comfortable space to feel welcome in for the duration of your Tortilis Experience.


Our tents are built to easily withstand the elements. Thick canvas protects against rain, and a system of adjustable tent flaps over mesh windows surround the tent. The tent flaps are easily adjusted to allow maximum airflow in the day. Our staff know just when to open and close the flaps and will do this for you to keep your tent in an optimal condition to the current weather conditions and time of day.


One of the reasons our tents are always in such good condition is because of our system of constant maintenance by our own staff. We build the tents from scratch in our own Tortilis Camps HQ in Arusha with staff skilled in joinery, metalworking, sewing, design and construction. This way we are able to keep the tent spaces constantly developing and functioning to meet our visitors needs for the most comfortable stay in Northern Tanzania. All of the Tortilis Camps work off the same blueprint, which contributes to the smooth running of the systems to make our tents a pleasure to stay in.

Meals


Our Breakfast
Breakfasts are worth getting up for and are enjoyed from the mess tent as the buzzing world comes alive around you. The sumptuous array available for breakfast includes colorful platters of fresh fruit, yoghurts, cereals, cold meats and cheese platters with crackers and biscuits, croissants, cakes, pastries, toast and spreads. Coffee and teas of the world are of course an essential to compliment the first meal of the day and then to really get the best start to the morning, order your favorite choice of eggs or omelettes from the chef. Perhaps one of the biggest challenges of your whole stay at Tortilis Camps is to pull yourself away from the glorious breakfast every morning!








Our Packed Lunch
Packed lunch served to you by the Tortilis driver guides at the perfect location in the bush will be just the unique meal you may have imagined it to be. You’ll be amazed at the setup we can quickly create in the middle of the bush, sitting in a comfortable chair at a table laden with nuts, fruit, cheese, crackers as hors d’oeuvre followed by creatively prepared main meals and salads from our chefs. These meals include some extra tasty spices and vivacious Tanzanian infusions. Lunch back at the Tortilis Camps are also an option every day if you are not away on a game drive or activity.












Our Dinner
All our visitors should try the Tortilis Camps bush dinner at least once. An incredibly free-spirited way to enjoy a meal under the sparkling stars with a loved one and all the ingredients to create a memory to cherish.
Dining in the mess tent is a social affair with a wide variety of tasty, creative and uncomplicated yet stimulating meals. Hot meals with local specialities, along with pastas, fish, chicken, vegetable bakes, and salads are all available.

Tortilis Camp Safety
Thanks to our truly talented chefs, guests leave the Tortilis Experience with an awakened appreciation for tasty, creative and hearty meals.


Locking Away Valuables
We have very few safety concerns at the Tortilis Camps due to implementing measures from our experience to prevent incidents. When you arrive you can lock away valuables in a box with a strong padlock provided in every tent. We’ve designed this for you to be able to lock away a whole bag, a large camera lens or other large items. You will then be able to keep the key for the padlock for your own use when needed.




Walking Around Camp
It is safe to walk around the camp during the day, however, it is an unfenced area so visitors need to still be vigilant. At night, we have escorts available constantly to walk you from your tent to the mess tent. Our Maasai staff carry out this function and are able to walk with you anytime you feel the need for some local assurance. All the paths are lit when it gets dark and each tent has a powerful torch for your own use.




Tent Security
Tents have two robust front flaps with large zips top to bottom. These zippers need to be shut, at least one during the day and both at night when not using the entrance to the tent. The flaps do not have and do not need locks, and staff will also make sure the flaps are kept zipped closed.

Payment Terms:
Tour packages are confirmed upon receipt of 30% deposit of the total cost of the package. Balance payable in full 45 days prior to arrival. Full payment is required if tour is booked less than 45 days.WiFi


Yes, we have WiFi!
We know how important being connected to WiFi can be for some of our guests so we have made a big effort to install WiFi and to make it available to you at any time of the day. Whether it’s an important email you are sending/receiving, or staying in touch with family and loved ones, the connection is strong enough for most activities but does not support large streaming bandwidth from the internet.Local Telecoms Networks
Although we supply WiFi, there is also connectivity to the telecoms networks in Tanzania. This means you can set your mobile phone to roaming and have the choice to make use of your own paid-for WiFi access from the Tanzanian data supplying networks. This is something we have no control of.WiFi On The Move
Some of the game drive vehicles have a dongle to be able to provide WiFi services while on the game drive. This is generally not a very strong connection but if you need the WiFi option then just ask our driver guides for details.How It Works
Just ask the staff for a piece of paper with the password on for your WiFi session. One session will last 24 hours whereupon you need simply ask staff for a fresh password. There are boosters outside the tents to enhance the WiFi signal for those a little further away from the router in the main mess tent.Power Supply
Lorem Ipsum Dolor


Solar-Generated Power
The full area of the Tortilis Camps is well lit at night, from your own tent, to the connecting pathways, to the mess tents themselves; the battery-powered solar energy is provided throughout the night. Our efficient system means you can flip a switch in your room, bathroom or front porch of your tent at any time for light just like that in a normal house.




Plugs and Charging
In Tanzania, we use type D and G sockets - just like in the UK. Each tent has outlets at the bedside tables, a special writing desk and in the bathroom. From here you can plug in USB, phone, laptop, tablets, electric razors or other devices for charging.


Not Available
The surge of power drawn by hairdryers and kettles means we do not supply these in the tents and visitors are asked not to use a hairdryerWildlife
Thousands of elephant and giraffe are the most prolific game to enjoy in the Tarangire National Park. The perennial river draws a lot of animals to its life-giving source and in the permanent swamps, 495 bird species can be seen - especially November to April when the migratory birds arrive.
On game drives, there are also lion, leopard, cheetah, warthog and hyena to spot, and on guided walks, the park rangers will point out both the micro-world of smaller animals as well as larger species, which is a thrill to experience on foot.
To get the most out of your sightings we have prepared these information sheets below with details of size, footprint, habitat, speed, weight, lifespan and the Swahili name to enjoy your safari even more.

The Dry Season
Tanzania is very close to the equator so does not experience a real summer and winter. It does, however, experience a dry and wet season. The Dry Season is from June till October where there is not much rain and although it is winter the days are mostly clear, sunny and warm. It’s just at night when it can get colder so always pack light jackets and cardigans.




The Wet Season
The wet season has 3 parts to it. November and December are the short rains period which is just short sharp rains as a precursor to any substantial rains. January and February sometimes bring a gap in the rainy season. March, April and May are the wettest months known as the period of long rains when it rains most days making the vegetation is vibrantly green and lush.




We've Got You Covered
All our Tortilis Camps have umbrellas in the tent and our staff are contactable via radio (also supplied in every tent) so you always have the option for more cover should you need to leave your tent during a rainy moment. Our game drive vehicles have a retractable roof which not only provides the perfect game viewing platform but also allows you to regulate temperature by allowing more air in when hot and closing up when its cooler.

Physical distancing measures play a vital part in helping to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Tortilis Camps strives to keep a distance of 1.5 meters between persons in all camp public areas. Camp staff will be particularly vigilant in communal camp spaces such as the dining area, where guests may gather together, to ensure that a build-up of people in an enclosed space does not threaten the requirements of physical distancing measures. It may be necessary on occasion to temporarily restrict access of some guests to these areas to achieve this.
