If you have read other reviews from properties in Tanzania indicating how friendly and genuine were the staff, that’s because it’s usually true. But this place was over the top. We were sorry to leave. It is located within Tarangire Park, which jacks up the price since you are paying entry fees for every day you are there, but we found it well worthwhile for the week we spent there. Very few people do that, and we spent some days NOT doing the usual safari, observing quietly the life that came by, as opposed to chasing after it in a car.

Nothing, except something that was our fault, I.e. bringing in a bit of food (nuts and dried fruit) that attracted rodents, as could happen in any tent camp. Anyone staying in a tent camp should expect that animals will be about, sometimes very close at night. Not dangerous, but you might need to get used to it. We watched a bull elephant under a full moon grazing on vegetation about 15 meters from our tent, around 2:AM. Unforgettable.

Magical place in Tarangire. We saw Elephants from 20 meters from the camp and could hear the lions roar at night. An amazing experience for our two kids age 4 and 8. The staff were really attentive and made sure our kids had the best time!

It could have been more clear in the Tarangire-entrance fee is not included ind the price.

The opportunity to stay in the middle of the wonderful Tarangire NP is really a privilege. The camp has been designed with both comfort and closeness to nature in mind. The rooms are extremely comfortable and the communal spaces are designed to make best use of the wonderful location. The staff are incredibly helpful and welcoming, and we enjoyed discussing the wildlife with them around the campfire. And to wake up with an elephant really just a few metres from the tent was unforgettable.

Nothing - it was perfect

All the comfort in the middle of the savannah. Very beautiful setting, pretty tents with a very safari atmosphere. The food (dinner, breakfast and lunchbox) was really delicious. Being in the park early in the morning allowed us to see a family of about 15 lions on our way out, it was amazing.

Too bad the drinks are not included for that price. The campfire went out before we finished dinner around 7:30 p.m., so after that we had nothing to do but go to bed. Finally, like all other accommodation in the region with a minimum of standard, it is far too expensive. It was very good overall, but it does not deserve such a price.

A lovely tented camp in the middle of nature! Well appointed tents with all the comforts, the staff were welcoming and paid attention to detail to make our stay very memorable. Romantic lunch set up in the bush, welcoming drinks, good service.

It is quite a long drive from the main gate and not easy to find if self driving. Google maps was not helpful ;) but the other operators knew the location and gave us directions. Also, the tents were beautiful with comfortable beds but I would have preferred white linens and not brown. Personal preference, but brown sheets can be off- putting!

We got stuck in the mud, along with two other cars, on our way to the camp and had to wait three hours for a tractor to come pull us out. So we arrived at Baobab Tented Camp around 9pm at night, in the dark and well after check-in. Nevertheless we were greeted with concern, friendly smiles and a hot dinner! Our first experience of the camp and it's staff sums up our entire stay there: The staff are very welcoming and go above and beyond, the tents are spacious, comfortable, clean and hit the perfect balance between luxury and practicality. We cannot recommend this place highly enough, it was the perfect accommodation for our safari adventure.

Located inside Tarangire National Park it is the perfect place to base your safaris out of. The tents are very well & nicely furnished with private bathroom & hot water. We had giraffes & elephants near our tent! The dining area is situated on a wooden platform in the middle of the camp & offers a nice view into the surrounding bush. The food was good & the staff was super friendly & helpful. We even go our own private table next to the fire, as we were travelling on our honeymoon. We really enjoyed our stay and can 100% recommend Baobab camp to anybody!

the staff at baobab tented camp are delightful. they looked after us so, so well. the camp is beautiful. the tents are incredibly comfortable and luxurious. the food is exceptional and the lunch boxes are very good. the camp is deep in the tarangire park which means it’s off the beaten track- this is a bonus. we saw elephants while eating dinner - this was unexpected and amazing. thank you so so much for a truly memorable stay in a very special location. we saw many elephants, zebra, giraffe, dik dik & on our final morning a pride of lions which had killed a zebra. amazing. unbeatable.

it’s not a criticism but you do need to organise your own guide and driver (this can be done via their office in Arusha but slightly more expensive than what we found elsewhere).

The place was amazing! located perfectly in the middle of Tarangire national park, so you can see the animals first thing when you wake up in the morning, and watch the beautiful sunset and sunrise in the middle of the savanna. The staff was so warm and welcoming, made sure to help with every possible thing. The food was excellent, we enjoyed it very much! The room was so clean and comfortable, we had very hot water for shower at night. It is just the perfect place to go in the middle of your safari trip, and we most definitely would love to go back!

everything was just perfect.
