Where To Find Oliver’s Camp

Oliver’s Camp is located in the more remote southeastern corner of the game-rich Tarangire National Park in Northern Tanzania. The main area at Oliver’s Camp is an open-sided two-storey, wood and thatch structure, the deck offers guests spectacular bush vistas and views of the Tarangire River Valley. Wildlife such as wild dogs, kudu, oryx and gerenuks are unique to this area of Tanzania and due to its position near the Silale Swamps, animal sightings are frequent throughout the year. The park is only a two-hours-drive from the closest domestic airport and its close proximity to Arusha, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and the Serengeti National Park makes this camp a great destination for any Tanzanian itinerary.
