Tarangire Tortilis Camp

Tarangire Tortilis Camp

Just 120km from Arusha, our Tarangire Tortilis Camp is the perfect place for an introduction to the riches of Northern Tanzania. 

This spacious camp, built in-between a line of 4 magnificent Baobab trees looks onto a vast expanse of wetlands. Elephants appear as ships sailing through the long grass watched from the warmth of our fire pit area while you enjoy a drink and watch the sunset.

The Tarangire River is a life-giving spine for this National Park and attracts herds of over 1000 elephants, tremendous numbers of giraffe, and flows all year round – teaming with life for you to enjoy on a game drive right on the riverbanks.

Walking tours with a National Parks ranger and your driver-guide is a tantalizing experience where you can encounter the largest elephants to the tiniest of insects. The ranger and guide will share deep insight into the details and sensations that are so unique to experience on foot. It’s incredible to think that such an exciting tented Tortilis Camp exists so close to Arusha, the perfect place to start or finish an itinerary of Tortilis Camp stays

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.

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!

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.
