Swala Tented Lodge
The property
Nine luxury tents in Tarangire’s remote southwest, elephants at the waterhole off your veranda, the nearest neighbour two hours away.
Named for the impala that drift through camp, Swala hides in the remote southwestern corner of Tarangire, the nearest neighbour a two-hour drive away. Just nine tents, keeping an authentic under-canvas soul alongside faultless service. Elephants file to the waterhole in front of the verandas by day and lions roar through the night. Seclusion is the whole point.
I
Where it sits
In a quiet, low-traffic corner of southwestern Tarangire, the nearest neighbour a two-hour drive away, among towering acacia tortilis and ancient baobabs. It overlooks a private waterhole that draws the park’s famous elephant herds year-round.
II
The rooms
Just nine tents raised on heavy wooden platforms with breathing canvas walls, each with a private raised veranda where impala, waterbuck and elephant pass just yards away.
