Sanctuary Swala Camp
Edge of the Gurusi wetlands, Tarangire National Park, Tanzania
Sanctuary Swala Camp is a small tented camp in a remote pocket of Tarangire National Park, shaded by large acacia trees at the edge of the Gurusi wetlands and overlooking rolling savannah. No other camps are nearby, which gives it an exclusive, private feel.
Nine tents each have their own terrace overlooking a waterhole, a personal attendant and an en-suite bathroom. There is a pool, a library and lounge, and a dining tent serving pan-African cuisine.
