You wake up to a cacophony of birdsong as the sky lightens. Propping yourself on pillows, you scan the wild African landscape out the front screen of the room. An impala noiselessly strides past while a bird swoops into view, a flash of shimmering blue, orange and green.
Hot tea awaits you on the veranda. As you sip, you imagine what you’ll see on safari today. Perhaps a mother lion and her cubs or a troop of playful baboons.
Who would expect such luxury in the Tanzanian wilderness? But such is a typical morning at Honeyguide Tarangire Camp, a tent-lodging concept that puts safari goers closer to the wildlife they come to view. The camp’s 10 tents aren’t the poles-and-nylon-fabric variety but rather cozy suites with a range of creature comforts – and with the feel of being in the wild because, well, they are.
