A bit too large and corporate
The camp is OK, good electricity, lighting, some hot water, but it is on a large scale and has the feeling of a large corporation. The food is not very good. It is fine but I would recommend a more intimate setting for a safari camp.

Great value for money, excellent service, unforgettable safari experience listening to the roar of lions and calling of hyenas during the night from cozy furnished tents. Awaking to the sounds of grazing zebras, grunting buffalos - what a way to start a day

Probably the highlight of our holiday. The camp is beautiful and tastefully decorated. The staff was so welcoming and the level of service was exceptional. Oh and the food is delicious! I can not recommend this place enough - our stay there was truly SO special.

What a great time! We were self-driving on Safari in Tarangire over Christmas and spent 4 nights at the Baobab and had daily visits from elephants in camp. The staff were charming and really, really helpful, great facilities, very comfortable bed, and great food. Ignore the comments about it being hard to find - it's not. It is away from the other lodges in a more remote part of the park, but that's an advantage. Just ask the staff for directions before you arrive - it's at the Kanga Special Campsite - and use maps.me - not google maps, which is misleading and inaccurate in all the national parks.

Absolutely impossible to find. No signage and poor communication from camp to patron. We spent 7 hours trying to locate the camp site which was completely unknown, even to the park rangers. No response from Baobab people to our complaint. Caveat emptor!

Sehr freundliches Personal. Man könnte Elefanten beim Frühstück und aus dem Zelt sehen. Die Zelte waren sehr sauber und gut ausgestattet. Das Essen war sehr gut. Die Anlage war hervorragend und es gibt nichts zu kritisieren. Die Anfahrt ist aber abenteuerlich. Die Flussquerung auf der Route war nicht auffindbar. An den Gates sollte man zwingend mit den Rangern die Route im Detail besprechen und am späten Nachmittag nicht mehr alleine fahren, sondern sich durch die Ranger zur Unterkunft begleiten lassen.

Avoid that place
Awful experience. The tent camp does NOT keep to its promise. Difficult to find (no signs), hot water not working, wifi not working, plugs not working and management did not care (local team nice but ...). Of course, tented camp confort can be lower than lodges but for the price and the description, this clearly does NOT deliver on the promise. We were supposed to stay 2 nights and left after the first one. Avoid that place!!!!. For the same price, you'll get amazing lodges that are locsted in the park as well

Einzigartige Lage (allerdings nicht dort wo Expedia und Google Maps das Camp zeigen, sondern in der Nähe des Lake Burungi - exakte Location auf der Internetseite des Camps), viele Tiere in der Nähe, tolles sehr nettes Personal und gutes Essen.
