Oliver’s Camp is in the heart of Tarangire, further south-east from the main entrance to the park than most other camps, and close to the famous Silale Swamps and the Minyonyo Pools, one of the very best game viewing locations. It feels wonderfully remote and is the only camp where walking safaris can be taken in the park, and the guides here specialise in tracking animals on foot. Walks range from an hour around the camp to a full day exploring the ‘wilderness zones’, or even overnight-ers, using fly-camps. The camp itself is made up of 10 tents, linked by sandy paths, and a colonial-style canopied dining area and lounge set amongst a stand of umbrella acacias. As of 2013, there’s also a mini camp a couple of km away with 5 luxury tents, Little Oliver – perfect for groups but tents are also bookable individually. Whichever you choose, it’s all utterly lovely – plus you get peace and tranquility, open skies and fires, and proximity to the wildlife you came to see.
