About
Siringit Tarangire Camp opened in June 2026 in the central southern part of Tarangire, about forty minutes south of the Kuro airstrip down the Nomad Kuro road. It is the newest thing in this part of the park and it looks it. The suites were designed by a Belgian architect as rounded shells rather than ridge tents, a shape borrowed loosely from Maasai dwellings and built to move air through the structure and take the hard edge off the light. They are made in Tanzania, as is most of what is inside them.
Tarangire is the elephant park. The river runs through the middle of it and holds water when the country around has dried out, so from about June the herds come to it in numbers that are hard to match anywhere in the north. The baobabs are the other signature, enormous and widely spaced, and they give the park a look nothing else in Tanzania has. The camp has its own game drive route that crosses the open plains to the river and then over it, which puts the Silale swamps within reach from the south. In the long rains of March to May that southern country goes soft and the swamp edge is not always passable, and the game spreads out, but the park turns green and all but empties of other vehicles.
There are eight suites, one of them a family suite with two en suite bedrooms that interconnect. Each stands a metre and a half off the ground with a private deck over the floodplains, an en suite bathroom with two basins, a shower, hot water and a flush toilet, and the usual small comforts of robes, a hairdryer, books and board games. There is a pool, a gym, a main lounge and dining tent, a firepit with an area kept clear for stargazing, and a small shop. Power is 220 volt solar with battery storage and a quiet standby generator, and there is wireless internet across camp.
It suits travellers who care how a place is designed, photographers who want elephant in good light, and couples. The family suite and the child sharing policy make it workable for families with younger children. It is a small camp, eight suites, so it is not the choice for a large group that wants to take over a property.
Most guests fly to Kuro and drive the last forty minutes. By road from Arusha the camp puts it at about three and a half hours, which makes Tarangire the easiest of the northern parks to reach on a first day out of town.
Signature experiences
From about June the elephant herds come to the Tarangire river in numbers, and the camp sits within an easy morning of the best of it.
The camp has its own route over the river that reaches the swamps from the south, which is country most vehicles in the park do not get into.
The fire is lit between the suites and the floodplains, with an area kept clear for looking at the sky once it is properly dark.

What's included
Frequently asked
Eight, all en suite. One of them is a family suite with two bedrooms that interconnect, each with its own bathroom.
June 2026, so it is the newest camp in this part of Tarangire. The structures and tents were made in Tanzania and the suites are rounded rather than ridge shaped, which is unusual in the park.
In the central southern part of the park, about twenty one kilometres south of Kuro airstrip on the Nomad Kuro road, with its own route across the Tarangire river towards the Silale swamps.
Most fly to Kuro airstrip and drive about forty minutes south. By road from Arusha the camp puts it at about three and a half hours, which makes it an easy first stop out of town.
All year. The camp prints no closed dates on its 2027 contract.
From about June to October the river holds the water and the elephant herds come to it, which is the strongest game viewing of the year. January and February are a drier spell with good viewing too. The long rains in March to May turn the park green and quiet, and the southern swamp country is not always passable then.
Yes. Children of all ages are welcome under their parents supervision. Children from six to seventeen pay half the adult rate sharing with an adult, children under six sharing with adults are accommodated in a cot at no charge, and a child in their own suite pays seventy five percent of the adult sharing rate. An extra bed in a suite is for a child under twelve, so older children take a suite of their own or the family suite.
Full board, which is breakfast, lunch and dinner, along with laundry, wireless internet, the one percent Tourism Development Levy and VAT. Camping fees and park entry fees are paid at the gate, and game drives and transport are itemised separately in your trip price.
Yes, and a gym. There is also a main lounge and dining tent, a firepit with a cleared area for stargazing, and a small shop.
Power is 220 volt solar with battery storage and a quiet standby generator, hot water is solar and available through the day, and there is wireless internet across camp.
No. A suite takes two adults, and one child under twelve may share with them. The camp prints no rate for a third adult, so we do not sell that shape rather than guess at a price.
What's nearby
Reached from the south on the camp own route. Permanent water that draws elephant and buffalo, and good ground for lion.
The spine of the park. In the dry months the game is on it, and most mornings out of camp end up here.
A couple of hours north on the way back towards Arusha, and an easy addition to a northern circuit routing.
