A special campsite on the northern end of
Tarangire national park, about a 5 minute drive south of the Tarangire river. It is an open field with no facilities, and all campers have to bring their own equipments and food.
Just like most special campsites in the park, there is a need to book it prior to arrival, and its use is exclusive to the person or group that books it. This means less security from animals than at public campsites, thus a ranger may be needed as well.
What to do there?Camping, game drives of it and nearby areas, bird watching, bush meals etc. with other attractions to visit in the park that can be found on our
attractions page.
Best time to visitThe dry season is when the experiences are best - most roads usable and camping can be done with the stars visible above you. On the other hand, the rainy season is for those with a good 4x4 and waterproof camping gear.
Location of Kanga campsiteKware campsite is inside Tarangire national park, about a 20 minute drive south of the main park gate and headquarters at the northern end. About a 5 minute drive away is the Tarangire river, and Tarangire's public campsite number 1.
