Since August, East Africa has been open for travel and we have had numerous guests who have been astounded by the immense beauty of both Kenya and Tanzania. They have been amazed at how quiet it all is and how much they loved their “private safari experience”.

This is what her client, Vijay thought about their East Africa adventure.

Oliver’s Camp in Tanzania’s Tarangire National Park embraces a back-to-basics safari experience in a remote corner of East Africa. While there is no shortage of comforts, the camp promises a refreshing wilderness experience that is lacking in the more well-known reserves to the north. 

“There were very few tourists and it felt like we were on a private safari! Overall, the trip was seamless and the timing was excellent.”
