2 A World of Wonders How else could we possibly describe this safari? A safari for the truest of safari lovers, yet perfect for those new to safari to gain the ultimate taste of what wildlife viewing is all about. Covering some of the most currently revered wildlife destinations in iconic locations and for those looking for quality game viewing this is for you. Swala Tarangire National Park 3 nights In the heart of Maasai country and a remote corner of the Tarangire, in total seclusion amongst giant acacia trees and looking out beyond the flat savannah, Sanctuary Swala offers a very exclusive safari experience. The picturesque landscape is filled with ancient baobab trees, ambling elephants and birds in flight. Built to the highest eco-friendly standards, this camp has a particularly low-carbon footprint. Swala is located in a secluded part of Tarangire National Park and has twelve luxurious canvas pavilions, all shaded by acacia trees and all with views over the waterhole and plains in front of camp. The main dining area, deck and library are lifted on stilts around an ancient baobab tree, while the stunning infinity pool overlooks the waterhole which is often visited by elephants as well as the big cats that are often seen. Tent pavilions are unashamedly luxurious and exquisitely furnished but still close enough to nature to permit an exciting night under canvas. The tents feature a spacious open plan arrangement with comfortable king or twin beds, campaign chairs and plush sofas and boasts an en-suite bathroom with both indoor and outdoor shower for that extra bit of luxury. Sip cocktails or enjoy scrumptious dinners on your own private veranda and watch the waterhole which regularly draws lions, leopards and resident bull elephants while your own personal attendant caters for your every need. Complimentary Wi-Fi is available in guests tents. Activities The low volume of visitors to the park offers a truly unique and private experience and the customised open safari vehicles offer unobstructed viewing and great photography opportunities.

The Tarangire National Park is famous for its large herds of elephants that congregate under the spectacular baobab trees. The park attracts an abundance of zebra and is home to waterbuck, giraffe and kudu with their immense spiral horns as well as oryx with their lengthy rapier horns.
