One of the Africa-wide Sanctuary chain of camps and lodges, and recently completely rebuilt, Sanctuary Swala is located in an exceptionally private section of the Tarangire National Park.
Each of its 12 luxurious 'pavilions' is within sight of a water hole at which it is usually possible to spot lions, leopards and, in particular, some of the local elephant population. Each tent has its own personal butler, ensuring the highest standards of service.
A stunning infinity pool also overlooks this water hole: viewing wildlife at close hand from within a pool is an experience difficult to describe - you just have to experience it for yourself.
A visit to the local village, and the school that is supported by the camp, is an experience especially to be recommended, and is something that you will remember long after the game sightings have faded from memory.
We think any opportunity to step outside the cosseted realm of the safari goer and into the real Africa should be taken if at all possible.
There are many lodges and hotels in Africa that positively encourage families with young children to stay - find out more by clicking here.
The main attraction of most safaris is the wildlife - find out what to expect here.
