Elephant Rock Luxury Camp Tarangire – Where Timeless Wilderness Meets Intimate Elegance
Tucked within Tarangire National Park, where ancient baobabs guard elephant paths and the air hums with wild presence, Elephant Rock Luxury Camp offers an experience that is both grounding and elevated. Built in harmony with the landscape and designed for those who crave closeness to nature without sacrificing comfort, this exclusive camp invites you to live within the wild, not just witness it.
Here, the luxury is quiet. The encounters are raw. And every moment feels entirely your own.
A Sanctuary of Subtle Sophistication
At Elephant Rock, thoughtful design and natural immersion come together in perfect balance:
Spacious canvas tents on wooden platforms, styled with handcrafted décor and king-size beds
En-suite bathrooms featuring safari showers, solar-heated water, and eco-flush toilets
Private verandas with panoramic views of Tarangire’s rolling plains and wandering wildlife
Natural materials and open-air layouts that let the breeze, birdsong, and wild calls in
Each tent is a private retreat—elegant, earthy, and deeply connected to its surroundings.
Where the Safari Never Sleeps
Set inside the national park, Elephant Rock is surrounded by one of Tanzania’s richest ecosystems:
Game drives at dawn and dusk, guided by expert trackers who know every trail and whisper in the bush
Up-close sightings of Tarangire’s iconic elephants, lions, giraffes, and migratory herds
Birdlife galore, from weaverbirds at camp to raptors circling the savanna sky
Wildlife that roams freely through camp, offering front-row encounters from the comfort of your tent
Optional walking safaris and scenic sundowner spots for those seeking a deeper pulse of the land
This is not a safari that’s delivered. It’s a wilderness that envelops you.
Flavors of the Land, Served with Soul
Dining at Elephant Rock is an expression of place and care:
Fresh, locally sourced ingredients prepared by passionate chefs
A blend of Swahili tastes and international favorites, plated with artistry
Open-air dining beneath the stars or shaded by acacias
Special diets catered to with ease and creativity
Morning coffee, afternoon tea, and sunset cocktails, all delivered with a personal touch
Meals are not just eaten—they’re savored, shared, and remembered.
People Who Bring the Bush to Life
Behind the experience is a close-knit team with heart, skill, and soul:
Guides who read the land like a living book, offering insight with humility
Hosts and staff who feel more like friends, always present yet never intrusive
A commitment to sustainability, local employment, and cultural respect
A seamless blend of warm hospitality and genuine passion for nature
Their presence is quiet, but their impact is lasting.

A Wild Retreat That Feels Like Coming Home
At Elephant Rock, you’ll wake to elephant trumpets, fall asleep to lion lullabies, and spend your days in a rhythm that’s older than time. It’s not about doing more—it’s about being more present. In every sunrise, every footstep, and every silent pause, you’ll rediscover what it means to be part of the wild.
Intimate. Untamed. Unforgettable.
Welcome to Elephant Rock Luxury Camp Tarangire—where the wilderness writes the story, and you’re in it.

Traveler240887623122024-02-20Great tour with amazing people We were able to see a variety of animals including the big 5! The tour guide and the chef were really kind and explained everything to us. Also the other tour participants were absolutely cool and we became good friends. Kilipath Afrocan Safari was always on time and responded quickly so totally recommended!! Would like to use them again.
KATJAJENI2024-02-15Uforgetable safari 5/5 We had been communicating on Whatsapp from my home country. They prepared various options at my request and were very responsive and kind. After arriving in Arusha, they picked us up at our hotel and left us at Kilimanjaro Airport as per our request. The safari was amazing! The lodges exceeded expectations, and the food there was also nice. The tour guide was so kind and fun, making the experience truly enjoyable. We saw all the Big Five and many other animals! It was an unforgettable experience!
Eva L2024-02-14Best safari It was great traveling with kilipath African safaris. They were amazing. My friend was unfortunately sick most of the safari, but the staff was very understanding and helped us a lot! Plus the food was so so delicious
Baasit K2024-02-07Words cannot explain how amazing this experience is Lovely/amazing/once in a life time/crazy/incredible… words cannot justify the experience that we have had with this tour, a gentleman called felix is who we booked our safari with and he picked us up personally from the airport and took us to our first hotel for the night in arush he was lovely and very kid hearted and hospitable, our driver was also very nice and very educated and alert to make sure we didn’t miss out on any of the amazing animals… and we saw lots, antelope/zebras/wild beasts/lions/rhinos/elephants/giraffes just to name a few… the camp site looked amazing however we had booked tented lodges before hand and regretted it incredibly when we had seen the camp sites but non the less the tented camps were also amazing, the food was incredible both on the safari and in the lodges and it was nice to have picnics with the group, I would 10000% advise you to book with these guys as just a recommendation is not enough, I hope to be back in the near future and will be booking with these guys again :)
Haleema H2024-02-07The best experience of my life This tour was absolutely amazing!! Our guide felix was absolutely amazing he made us super happy. The experience was far better than we thought and we got to see all big 5 and the migration of the zebras and wildbeast.
Allyson Phillip2024-01-30Amazing Day To Climbing Mountain Kilimanjaro My husband and I reserved a one-day hike to Mandara Hut on Kilimanjaro with our guide, Mr. Joel. He picked us up from the hotel at 6 am and returned us by 8 pm. Mr. Joel ensured our comfort throughout the day, attending to all our needs during the hike. We highly recommend him to anyone considering a Kilimanjaro trek.
Delia G2024-01-30A very nice and enjoyable trip! A very good and knowledgeable guide! Enjoyed it a lot!!! The weather also helped :). The route is less difficult than expected. Definitely worth it for a day trip.
GLORY D2024-01-28Kilimanjaro day hike materuni waterfall and hotspring "Thrilled with the Kilimanjaro private day hike to Materuni Waterfall and Hot Spring by Kilipath African Safaris! Seamless logistics, a personalized guide, and stunning landscapes made it a highlight of my Tanzanian journey. Materuni Waterfall and the soothing hot spring were an unbeatable combo. Highly recommend Kilipath African Safaris for an enriching blend of nature and culture in Kilimanjaro's heart!"
