Look forward to an unforgettable glamping experience at the elegant Swala Camp, at A&K Sanctuary, which offers twelve exquisite tented suites on raised wooden platforms under umbrella-shaped acacia trees. All feature dreamy four-poster beds with mosquito nets, indoor and outdoor showers, and private terraces with comfortable seating. Sit back and watch the bustling wildlife activity at the nearby waterhole – especially during the dry season, it is so spectacular that it rivals the experience of a game drive. On exciting walking or night safaris in Tarangire National Park, you will encounter majestic herds of elephants, giraffes, antelopes, lions, and ostriches. With a little luck, you can tick off four of the iconic "Big Five" from your bucket list.

Twelve elegant tented suites stand on raised wooden platforms beneath shady acacia trees, offering magnificent views of the nearby waterhole, where wild animals regularly come to refresh themselves, from large covered verandas. The colonial-inspired interior feels fresh and friendly, with light earth tones and comfortable four-poster beds protected by mosquito nets. A door leads from the indoor shower to a large outdoor rain shower, which, surrounded by a willow fence, promises an exotic experience. A special extra is the fitness bag with a yoga mat, jump rope, and hand weights for your workout of choice.

Culinary highlights include a full English and continental breakfast, fresh homemade pizza, and extensive three-course dinners with a choice of vegetarian options, meat, and fish. An atmospheric fire pit invites you to socialize over drinks and stories from the day, while wildlife occasionally roams the horizon. Generous packed lunches are provided for meals during game drives. If you would like a private dining experience in nature, a bush breakfast or bush lunch can be arranged for you.

Set off on exciting game drives, night safaris, or bush walks accompanied by excellent guides and keep an eye out for majestic giraffes, elephant families, lion prides, and ostriches. Between June and October, you can witness the impressive elephant migration as huge herds of these gentle giants roam the area in search of water. Visit the Swala-sponsored beekeeping project in the nearby village of Mwika and bring home a jar of honey as a souvenir before refreshing yourself in the magnificent infinity pool and toasting to an adventurous day with a cool cocktail.
