Nyerere Tented Camp has 6 individual very spacious luxurious tents furnished with king-sized beds, and comfortable ‘suite’ furniture. The tents extend on to a spacious verandah – the tents can be secured for the night with ‘tented curtains’ or left open as desired. Each tent has a separate dressing room leading into an en suite bathroom with twin basins, high flush WC and rain head shower.
For most of the year the lightest and most comfortable clothing is recommended, preferably of natural fibre pure cotton is ideal. The heat is dry and the sun can be fierce, so long sleeves are recommended for safaris. A sun hat or bush hat is an essential item on safari. Sometimes in the evenings or early mornings the drop-in temperature may require a light sweater to be worn.
Nyerere Tented Camp is open throughout the top game-viewing months of June to March. The season begins as soon as the rains finish in Jun. After this time Nyerere National Park is absolutely stunning, the skies are clear and vegetation is greener. The migratory birds remain in plumage and are preparing to move on.
As the season progresses the bush dries out, the game gathers near water and food and the sightings improve. The game viewing is generally exceptional & the temperatures go high. This is normally a busy time in the Camp.
Nyerere Tented Camp is located on the boundary of Nyerere National Park near the Mtemere Gate, which is the North- Western Gate Entrance. As we are on the boundary of the Park we are lucky to have free moment of animals through the camp and we have built a water hole to also attract them in the dry season.
