Kuro Tarangire
Kuro Tarangire sits near the banks of the Tarangire River, deep inside Tanzania’s Tarangire National Park. The camp is a stone’s throw from the river, and is shaded by a stand of large acacia and kigelia trees. It is in a prime wildlife area, and not far from the Silale swamp, which is a haven for wildlife and birdlife all year. Children from eight years are welcome.
Accommodation & Facilities
With just six huge tents under thatched roofs, including one that suits a family, Kuro Tarangire is a small and intimate camp. Each tent has a spacious bedroom, a dressing area, a bucket shower and a proper flush loo. There’s also a verandah with comfortable chairs and a table. The family tent consists of two full size en-suite tents with an adjoining lounge area. An additional child’s bed can be added to sleep a maximum of five people. The camp has a central mess built of timber and thatch, providing shade and comfort for meal times as well as during the afternoon. Meals are often eaten outside in order to maximise guests’ time in the bush.
Eating & Sleeping
For maximum flexibility families are encouraged to book a private vehicle in which case children can have separate meal times to suit. The chef is happy to discuss the children’s preference on arrival and provide accordingly. There is a children’s menu featuring nursery favourites such as cauliflower cheese, pizza, sausages and mash etc. Specific dietary requests can be met with prior notice.
There are no formal childcare facilities so parents must be responsible for their children at all times.
Wildlife & Activities
Wildlife to be seen at Kuro Tarangire includes the massive herds of elephant and buffalo for which Tarangire is renowned, as well as plentiful zebra, eland, giraffe and predators. The activities offered include day and night game drives, and walking safaris.
Specifically for children …
Activities are planned with the family and will be discussed between the guides, management and guests when they arrive into camp. In an area home to vast herds of elephant and buffalo, and impressive prides of lion and plentiful plains game there is much to see and plenty to keep everyone enthralled.
