The Camp
(Opening Jan 2012)
At Nasikia Tarangire Camp, we have 6 - 8 semi-permanent tents
established throughout the year, depending on seasonal
reservation requirements. We endeavour to retain the uniqueness
and intimacy of the camp, while being directed by the location,
wildlife and other factors of responsible tourism.
Each tent is 12m long by 4m wide made from well known heavy duty
safari rip-stop canvas and imported from South Africa. You are
met at the entrance by a patio area with chairs and a table for
relaxing when you have a moment. The front of the tents zips
fully open, including a layer of mosquito netting and the
rip-stop canvas (it also zips closed completely with both
layers). Once you step into the tent into the bedroom area, you
will see an arrangement of satisfying furniture like a desk and
chair, storage chest (with extra blankets), matting, wardrobe
with robes, slippers, an umbrella and laundry bag, luggage
racks, torch/whistle/camp information folder, bedside tables and
beds (depending on room configuration). All the fittings depict
colours in natural and tones to adhere to the intrinsic area we
are located. We offer double, twin, single, triple and family
(quad) tents and each bed is fully netted for custom made
protection from mosquitoes and insects. The beds are fitted with
imported cotton sheets, double pillows, duvets and bed runners
for your comfort. The tents have netted windows down each side
of the tent which you can fully open only the canvas remaining
at all times with the mosquito netting stitched strongly into
the actual tent. We have sewn lightweight curtains and hung them
along each side of the tent for privacy and also just to watch
as they romantically sway in the breeze. Then comes the bathroom
area, which can be accessed directly from the bedroom with a
separate doorway - once again to fully open or fully close (both
layers of netting and canvas) as you prefer. Once inside, there
is a bathroom stand with a ceramic wash basin with running water
via stylish taps, a leather framed mirror, a supply of natural
based bathroom products, and linen to suit the number of people
expected to occupy the tent. This area also displays a woven
grass mat and cloths rack. Also in this area is a ceramic
flushing toilet, encased in a wooden frame for stability. From
the bathroom area, we can unzipped to enter the final part of
the tent - the twilight shower. Unzip the PVC to enter to the
open top shower area, with a 20 litre shower bucket put up as
you require for a wash under the incredible African skies.
From the entrance to the bedroom and onto the bathroom, each
tent is fitted with an extensive solar lighting system for your
convenience.
Please consider careful and responsible use of water and
lighting when at the camp, to extend accessibility for all.
There is a magical path of lanterns between the tents and also
to our Dining Tent. While we use these kerosene lanterns, you
will also observe a mix of solar guide lights and scented
beeswax candles to create an enchanting setting to unwind after
the day's adventures. Feel free to take pleasure in our library
in the Lounge Tent, enjoy your meals in the Dining Tent, and why
not enjoy a sundowner while sitting around the nightly wood
fire. For charging electrical equipment, we run a generator in
the evenings for the dining and lounge tents - please approach
the camp manager for assistance.
Our chefs are the creators of fine bush cuisine, using fresh
produce from all over Tanzania, to offer a menu that will
tantalize.
