Tarangire Elephant Springs Camp
Tarangire Elephant Springs Camp.
Tarangire Elephant Springs Camp is a resort which is in a secluded location in the centre of Tarangire National Park, Tanzania. Tarangire, a safari lounge, is known to house large herds of elephants, ancient baobab trees, and a variety of wildlife, and its mix of tranquillity and natural wildlife makes it an ideal Tanzania safari destination.
The camp, per se, is intended to offer the traveller the experience of being close to nature, a blend of comfort and an African bush experience. Tarangire Elephant Springs Camp is the ideal place where Tanzania safari lovers can enjoy adventure and relaxation, yet do not spoil the environment and make it less eco-friendly.
The Exclusive Environment of the Tarangire National Park.
Tarangire National Park is located in the north of Tanzania, some 120 kilometres southwest of Arusha. It is also not overcrowded like the Serengeti safari park or Ngorongoro Crater, hence suitable in case an individual wants to have a quieter safari. The migration of the elephants into the park is popular, especially during the dry season when thousands of animals flock around the Tarangire River.
The wildlife to be seen here are lions, leopards, cheetahs, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, and over 550 species of birds, hence making it one of the most diverse birdwatching sites in East Africa. By staying at Tarangire Elephant Springs Camp, it is guaranteed that the guests will be at the heart of this natural phenomenon.
The Wild and Accommodation and Comfort.
Tarangire Elephant Springs Camp provides tented safari-style accommodation, which is supposed to merge with the environment in the bush. The tents are large and have suites, bed cushions, and verandas that face out into the wilderness. The camp is sustainable with solar-powered lighting and environmentally friendly facilities, but it has a touch of luxury.
The visitors will be able to listen to the wildlife during the night and to see marvellous views in the Tarangire setting in the early mornings. The camp is a mixture of roughness and luxury, as well as comfort, which guarantees that those who visit it feel not only adventurous but also well-maintained.
Camp Activities and Experiences.
Among the best things during a stay at Elephant Springs camp at Tarangire is the range of activities to do. Guests can view the varied ecosystems of Tarangire and go out on game drives on a daily basis with professional guides taking them through riverine forests up to open savannahs. Nocturnal animal tours provide the chance to observe nocturnal animals like civets, genets and leopards hunting.
Walking safaris are a close-up experience of animal footprints, plants and other smaller animals that are usually missed in the drives. Guided birdwatching tours also expose such species as the yellow-collared lovebird, the kori bustard and the pygmy falcon to bird enthusiasts. The cultural aspect of the safari is offered by cultural visits to the local Maasai or Barabaig communities.
Dining and Hospitality
The meals are shared and intimate at the camp. Before dinner, guests will tend to sit around a campfire and discuss safari stories, after which they will eat fresh local produce. Anticipate a blend of Tanzanian cuisine and global cuisine, which are served with the stars or in the dining tent of the camp.
A river breakfast or sundowner will be a nice touch to the bush dining experience. The staff members are warm and welcome the guests to their camp, thus making them feel at home.
What is so special about Tarangire Elephant Springs Camp?
Tarangire Elephant Springs Camp not only offers a place to sleep but also an experience that makes the travellers feel closer to nature. It is also situated within the park, ensuring that it does not have to take long travels to access wildlife, as is the case with other lodges outside the park. The small nature of the camp will guarantee individual service and a serene environment.
As opposed to other bigger lodges, Elephant Springs focuses on sustainability, cultural respect, and traditional safari culture. To photographers, the location of the camp along the waters and the African migration pathways of elephants is a great place to have a glimpse of the wildlife in East Africa.
Tarangire Elephant Springs Camp: Best Time to Visit.
During the dry season, from June to October, it is the season to visit since the wild animals are concentrated along the Tarangire River. Herds of elephants may comprise hundreds and make encounters unforgettable. Nevertheless, the green period, such as the period between November and May, is also not inferior, as the landscape is lush, there are fewer tourists, and it is worth watching birds. Tarangire is a destination all year round since every season has a different safari adventure.
Travel Tips for Visitors
- The camp can be reached either by road (about 2-3 hours) or by domestic flights to airstrips located nearby (Arusha).
- Neutral-coloured, pack-light clothing, a hat, sunscreen, and a pair of field glasses.
- A camera which has a good zoom lens is important in capturing the elephants, predators and bird life.
- Always come with detailed safari insurance and carry around with you some local shillings in Tanzania to use in purchasing small items.
When one books with a good tour operator, it means that transfers, park fees, and guided activities will be good.
