The seemingly endless plains of the Serengeti and the draw-dropping beauty of the Ngorongoro Crater are rightly seen as the big draws of Northern Tanzania but I also found on my recent visit that the less visited Tarangire National Park had a beauty and subtlety that both surprised and delighted me. On game-drives I saw herds of elephants scorched an almost reddish-tint from rolling in the rust-coloured soil and huge and rather mystical-looking baobab trees that added an almost timeless and distinctly African feel to the landscape.
My home for the night was the delightful and intimate Kichuguu Camp which offered friendly, personal service and spacious tented rooms in the heart of the park. The sounds of lions outside my tent at night will stay with me for quite some time!
An authentic old world safari experience awaits. The seasonal camp (operated from 01 May – 30 Nov) is located in the remote northern region of Zimbabwe’s Hwange National park. The camp caters for a maximum of twelve guests in a spectacular secluded bushveld setting.
