Tarangire Ndovu Tented Camp
Menu
Ndovu means elephant in Swahili and what better name for a lodge where you have such a high chance of seeing these magnificent creatures in great numbers.
The Lodge is part of the Nasikia Camps Group, nested in the heart of Tarangire National Park amongst the giant baobab trees that this region is also renowned for. This small, intimate camp has 11 Tented Suites and 2 Two Bedroom Family Suites.

Dining
Fine bush cuisine focusing on fresh produce sourced across Tanzania is served in the Mess each evening before you’ll be escorted back to your room through a pathway of lanterns.
Rooms
The camp offers double, twin, and triple bedding withing their solar-lit Tented Suites which offer good space decorated in natural tones with polished floors atop wooden platforms. A lovely touch is the sliding, glass doors opening onto private decks so the most can be made of the wilderness setting. To the rear you’ll find a room divider leading to separate the en-suite with hand-crafted wash stands and shower.
Family
The lodge recommends the minimum age of 6 for children and please note all under 12’s will need to share a tent with an adult for safety reason.
The camp can add an extra bed to a tent to create a triple, or if you are a larger family then the Two Bedroom Family Tents offer ideal space.
