Mango Opinion
Great little property in a stunning location deep in Tarangire National Park. The trees growing through the showers are special. The location on the Tarangire River is beautiful.
With just five tents, Little Oliver’s is a wonderfully select camp. It is situated in Tarangire National Park, one of the best places in Tanzania for a combination of wildlife and exclusivity. Although the park has plenty of elephants and lions, around 550 bird species during migration season and huge ancient baobabs, it’s not as busy as many other destinations.
About a kilometer downstream from Oliver’s, Little Oliver’s overlooks a floodplain frequented by elephants. From your private deck, listen to the sounds of the bush — the chorus of birds, the rustle of dry grass in the breeze — and look out for giraffes strutting along the floodplain. Later, sip a G&T around the campfire and watch as the stars shoot across the dark night sky. Our five tented suites are decorated with handmade furniture crafted from timber upcycled from old dhows. Each tent has a wide deck to while away lazy afternoons overlooking the floodplain and an en suite bathroom with flushing toilet, basin with hot running water and both indoor and outdoor showers.
In addition to our twice-daily game drives, explore Tarangire on foot where guests can learn about the smaller wildlife that lives there and even get up close to some of the larger residents. Night drives allow you to observe nocturnal animals such as hyenas and genets.
