Here are listed individual safari camps & lodges, or collections of camps under one camp owner/operator, in Tanzania. We link to the camp's own website where possible, or the camp operator's website. If the camp or its operator doesn't have a website, we link to the tour operator, agent or marketing company with the best details for that camp, which we mark with an asterisk * because there may be other tour operators or agents for that camp who are more suitable to you. |

There are actually two 'Oliver's camps' - one for the dry season and one for the green season. Oliver's Camp Tarangire (dry season, June-Nov ) is a tented bush camp in the Tarangire National Park in northern central Tanzania where the river & swamplands draw migrating herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo and elephant in search of water. Oliver's Camp Sanjan (green season, Dec-May) is located on the grasslands under the Oldonyo Lengai mountain near the northern border of Tanzania, perfect for viewing herds of grazing animals. These are the 'base camp' locations but the company also operates mobile safaris which use four wheel drive trucks to move smaller tents and supplies to remote camp sites, sometimes over 100 kilometres from the main camp. |
| Selous Safari Camp |
The Selous Safari Camp comprises twelve safari tents on wooden bases overlooking the waters of the Rufiji River in the Selous Game Reserve. Their guestbook includes the Prince of Wales with his sons, Harry & William.
