Overview
Roika Tarangire Tented Camp invites you to a luxurious retreat on the cusp of Tarangire National Park, a Tanzanian gem famed for its elephant herds and ancient baobab trees. Perched along the life-giving Tarangire River, just 5 km from the park’s main gate, the camp immerses you in a landscape of acacia woodlands, rolling savannahs, and over 550 bird species. This is a place where nature’s pulse is palpable, with the river drawing zebras, wildebeest, and majestic elephants right to your doorstep, especially during the dry season when the park transforms into a wildlife haven.
The camp’s aesthetic blends rustic elegance with modern comfort, offering 21 uniquely themed en-suite tents adorned with handcrafted furniture and whimsical animal-shaped bathtubs. Here, eco-conscious luxury meets authentic safari charm, creating an atmosphere that’s both intimate and invigorating. Days are filled with adventure—game drives to spot lions and leopards, guided walks through Maasai villages, or sundowner cocktails by the pool as the sun dips below the horizon. For a touch of magic, opt for a hot-air balloon ride over the park’s baobab-studded plains, followed by a champagne bush breakfast. Accessible via a 125-km drive from Arusha along Dodoma Road or a quick flight to the nearby Kuro Airstrip, Roika is your gateway to an unforgettable safari escape.
