Tarangire National Park, Tanzania
Lake Burunge Tented Camp
A comfortable option close to Tarangire National Park
Lake Burunge Tented Camp is on the shores of Lake Burunge and located in the migratory corridor of Manyara and Tarangire, a short drive from Tarangire National Park itself. The camp is located within a 25,000-hectare concession area dedicated to the conservation of the local Maasai community.
There are 20 large luxury tents and 10 lodge rooms in shady bushland with views out onto Lake Burunge.
The main building, the setting for a central lounge, bar and dining area, sits on a raised wooden deck to make the best of the views and is a fine spot to watch the sun disappear over the lake by a warm fireplace. Private dining on your deck and picnics can also be arranged.
As well as safaris into the national park, other activities here include spectacular sundowners from atop a nearby kopje and visits to a nearby village to meet the local Mbuwge people and learn about their culture.

Places to combine Lake Burunge Tented Camp with
Etosha National Park
Encounter by Ongava is an intimate safari camp set within Ongava Game Reserve, on the southern edge of Etosha National Park. You’ll be surrounded by Mopane woodland and wildlife moving freely through the landscape.
There are eight spacious walk-in tents: seven standard tents and one paired tent that works well for families or small groups. Each tent has an en-suite bathroom with an outdoor shower and a private deck.
You can head out on game drives across the 30,000-hectare Ongava Game Reserve. The area is known for its rhino population, as well as lion, zebra and antelope, including the endemic black-faced impala. We especially recommend private guided nature walks, where you can slow down, appreciate the small details and explore with minimal impact. There may be the chance to approach white rhino on foot, as well as spend time bird watching.
For a wider safari experience, take a guided excursion into nearby Etosha National Park, Namibia’s prime savannah wilderness area. At the Ongava Visitor Centre, learn about the region’s geology, wildlife, plants and ecology.
Back at camp, slow down by the pool, settle into the library or gather at the bar as evening falls. The day softens into drinks, quiet conversation and the sounds of the reserve.
