An open field that serves as a special campsite on the northern end of
Tarangire national park, a short drive south of the Tarangire river. There are no facilities onsite and all campsers have to bring their own tent, food and equipment.
Unlike public campsites, special campsites have to be booked before use as they are exclusive to the group or individual that books them. Booking a ranger might also be necessary for security from animals.

attractions page.
Best time to visitThe dry seasons, anytime not in the rainy season of march to June - though the park is accessible all year round.
