Honeyguide Tarangire Camp

Honeyguide Tarangire Camp is the epitome of luxury within the wild heart of Tanzania’s Tarangire National Park. Nestled in a serene grove of umbrella-thorn trees, this camp offers a quintessential bush experience with an air of exclusivity, accommodating only ten spacious tent suites. Each suite is designed with comfort and style, ensuring guests have a private retreat that blends seamlessly with the natural surroundings.

Here, the day ends with a sundowner by the campfire, offering guests a chance to unwind under the African sky, while the night brings the sounds of the wild, making every stay memorable.
