One of two Sanctuary properties in the northern part of Tanzania, Swala Safari Camp is consistent with their standards across Africa. Vying with Tarangire Treetops for the accolade of “bush-chic” property of Tarangire, its location inside the park probably just gives them the edge. With a central watering hole bringing in the game and white washed interiors it is probably not for the aficionado, but it ticks plenty of boxes.
As mentioned above, the rooms are a good size, based on a permanent plinth with verandah and spacious tent. The rooms provide a welcome and comfortable sanctuary from the day’s activities and, during the heat of the day, a great place to see what can be seen down at the watering hole
