Overview
About Lolkisale Camp
Lolkisale Camp sits on the edge of a wetland inside Tarangire National Park. Elephants and a resident lion pride around nearby Silale Swamp are among the wildlife highlights of this part of the park. Full board includes meals, selected drinks and laundry, while game drives, night drives, guided walks and bush sundowners cost extra. Children are welcome when sharing with an adult. The wetland setting gives travellers a base within Tarangire rather than outside its gates.
“The wetland setting inside Tarangire suits travellers drawn to elephants and the wildlife around Silale Swamp, with guided walks and night drives adding variety to game viewing.”
