Sanctuary Swala
My Safari
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.
Accommodation:
12 luxury canvas 'pavilions'.
Child Policy:
No age restrictions, but not permitted on game drives under 5 years old.

Technology:
Recently completely rebuilt to 'the highest eco-friendly standards', with 'an emphasis on maintaining a low carbon footprint'. Internet access is available.
Other:
Due to the low volume of traffic in this remote region of the Park, game viewing by vehicle is particularly rewarding.
A particular feature that the camp stresses is the evening sundowner, sipping cocktails around the campfire, as the sun sets in the horizon, with the opportunity to watch leopards beginning their night-time activities, as the antelope take their final safe drink of the day from the water hole.
