This picturesque safari hideaway is in the southwestern corner of Tarangire National Park, affording guests private game viewing, wilderness luxury, and a privileged glimpse of an Africa untrammeled by tourism. Swala offers an experience that is both exclusive in its setting and luxurious in its style.
Swala’s nine private, permanent tents feature ensuite bathrooms with showers and fittings and fixtures crafted from local materials. The elevated terraces on the tents face the waterhole that attracts wildlife year-round.
