There are few places with such a friendly reception. Dionysia and her family are great hosts and care about every detail. Especially in the dry season you have lots of animals coming into the camp. We were there during the small rainy season ans still saw giraffes, elephants and heard a leopard. You really don't notice that this camp is... More

Wow! Loved our time here - Dionysia and John were great hosts and Georgia a delight. All camp staff were charming -both attentive and discrete. We drove in with a guide from Dar via two nights in Mikumi. A stunning drive was concluded by a great welcome and a beautiful camp set up. Everything had been considered from comfy beds... More

Tandala is a hidden gem. I stayed two nights in July 2012 during a safari at Ruaha National Park and I will be going back in only a couple weeks. Ruaha is my favorite park in Tanzania and the camp site of Tandala is safe, but close enough to still be thrilling. Elephants roam the camp grounds and enjoy the... More

I stayed at Tandala for 2 nights in August and it was a great part of the whole Safari experience. As a matter of fact, because of the watering hole, the elephants here were closer than in the Park. There was also plenty of baboon activity in the nearby trees during the day and cats prowling around the camp at... More

Could not have enjoyed our long weekend any more at Tandala. We were overwhelmed by the physical beauty of the park and of the camp, and SO thrilled with the quality of our accomodation (which, by virtue of being several kms from the entrance to the park, is markedly less expensive than the in-park camps, but still just as accessible/...

I have visited Tandala Tented Camp twice. Once without and once with my children. I can only say: I am looking forward to our next stay. The parc is perfectly situated just outside the gates of Ruaha. Elephants love the place and are frequent visitors. It's spectacular to see them drink at the water basin. The tents are really comfortable... More

Of course the place is great, comfortable, food is good, and we can see and hear the animals. But local camps just nearby are also great, for 5 times cheaper.

What an amazing place! The accommodations and meals are excellent but the real attraction is that the nearby water holes that draw a lot of elephants. At night we could hear elephant fights (trumpeting and growling), lions roaring nearby and hyena wandering through the camp. Ruaha National Park is an absolute must-see. Over a two day period we saw about... More

We had the pleasure of staying at the wonderful Tandala tented camp in the Ruaha. We feel fortunate we made this choice! Our hosts were welcoming, knowledgable and and very helpful, we had an excellent guide and driver and all the staff where attentive and friendly. We can't say enough about what a special place Tandala is and how if... More
