Kijani Camp
“A small camp, done well.”
Set inside Tarangire National Park, overlooking Lake Burunge. Four spacious canvas guest tents, lantern-lit dining and a campfire lounge above the lake: a quieter, more personal alternative to the larger lodges.
Intimate wilderness living
With only four guest tents, Kijani keeps things small on purpose. Guests are looked after personally, evenings are quiet, and the bush is never far away.
Opened in June 2026 and run by the same team that plans safaris across northern Tanzania. Spacious canvas tents with en-suite bathrooms, full-board dining in the mess tent and a campfire lounge looking out over Lake Burunge. The camp is unfenced, and elephants pass by the camp.
Discover the camp
Four tents, each with its own view
Double, twin, single and triple rooms. Every tent has an en-suite bathroom with a hot-water bucket shower and WC, a seating area, a writing desk and a veranda facing the bush. Two of them stand in the shade of a baobab.

Lake Burunge, below the ridge
From the camp, the bush falls away towards the lake and the hills on the far shore.
Elephants, baobabs and the Tarangire River
Tarangire is known for its high density of elephants and its ancient baobab trees. In the dry season, wildlife from the wider ecosystem gathers along the river, the park's lifeline.
Kijani sits within the park, about 14 km from Sangaiwe Gate, which makes early and late game drives easy to plan.
About Tarangire
What our guests say
Excerpts from reviews our guests have left on Google.
“Kijani Camp Tarangire is perfect for anyone looking for an authentic bush experience in a comfortable form. If you are looking for swimming pools and well maintained lawns, go somewhere else, but if you are looking for solitude, peace and a very natural environment, this is your place.”
“The staff were exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and always on hand to help with anything we needed. The tents were spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped, with cozy beds, en-suite bathrooms, and a radio in each tent for quick communication with the team.”
“Best stay on our trip to Tanzania. Lovely camp, beautiful landscape, great hospitality.”
“Ein wunderschönes kleines Zeltcamp im Tarangire Nationalpark mit fachkundiger individueller Betreuung. Eine hundertprozentige Empfehlung!!”
