Nyikani Camp - Tarangire

This was our first accommodation on our honeymoon trip to Tanzania. The location is quite far from the entrance (about a 2.5-hour drive), but we thoroughly enjoyed the ride to the camp. We were fortunate to see many elephants, giraffes, and other wildlife along the way. Upon arriving at the camp, the staff Elieta/Kelvin/Eric were very welcoming and professional. After checking in, we had a hot water shower. The hot water is manually replenished by the staff, and they waited outside to ensure we had enough hot water to wash off the dirt and exhaustion from the journey. The taste of the dinner was definitely beyond our expectations. Before we came to Africa (we're from Singapore), we had some doubts about the food since it was our first time here. However, the food at the camp was amazing. We enjoyed every meal, including the hamper provided for the next two days. We also had a great night's sleep over the two days. Although we did hear animals howling in the middle of the night, we felt safe. Once it got dark, someone would escort us every time we left or returned to the tent to ensure our safety. Last but not least, we had a bonfire set up on the second night, which was the highlight of our camp experience. Two staff members, Kalvin and Eric, safely guarded me and my husband while we enjoyed the bonfire (a big thank you to them!). Overall, we had a wonderful time here and look forward to returning soon. (One small reminder: the tse-tse flies and mosquitoes can be quite annoying since the camp is in the wilderness. Make sure to bring repellant and wear long sleeves and pants throughout your stay.)

This camp was amazing. It was our first night on safari and we couldn't believe how kind, welcoming and friendly the staff was. The accommodations were beyond what we had expected as far as nice and clean. This is definitely "glamping" for sure. This was the only lodge we stayed at that had a bucket shower and it was wonderful. We were so glad we got to experience what it was like. So easy to deal with. I was a little apprehensive before our trip when I read about them online, but it was a great experience. The staff is what made this lodge extra special. I highly recommend it.

The team at Nyikani are so welcoming and accommodating. Serafine and His crew members helped us with cold juices on arrival, bringing water for us to shower and coffee to the tent in the morning and escorting us to the room at night in the dark and making sure the tent was mozzie free before sleeping. The tent bedroom was so impressive, with a beautifully comfortable super king bed and cotton white sheets. The sleep was a dream. Everything we needed was catered to and we felt safe in the Tarangire National Park. An amazing honeymoon experience.

Une nuit unique et exceptionnelle au milieu de la nature avec comme seuls bruits ceux des animaux. Le personnel est très attentionné et a été très à l’écoute de mes allergies alimentaires, j’apprécie. La literie est très bonne. Tente spacieuse, confortable, équipée et propre. Wifi à la réception mais pas dans les chambres. Les douches sont très authentiques, cela change du traditionnel, mais c’est aussi cela qui rend cette aventure unique, Je recommande sans hésiter

Wonderful service from the staff made this camp special. They were all friendly and very helpful. We had beautiful sunrises from our tent, and the common areas and tents were nicely furnished. It was my first time using a bucket shower, but we got used to it. The beds were comfy. The meals were good, but not great. We also had some problems with honey bees hovering about during the breakfast buffet. Overall, it was a good stay.

Le lodge était très bien équipé et très confortable. Nous avons reçu un accueil chaleureux et les repas étaient délicieux. Vous pourrez entendre les hyènes a la nuit tombée et profiter d un très beau levé de soleil. Merci pour tout c était parfait.
