We don't have a photograph of Tandala Tented Camp yet. We only publish images we are licensed to use, so this is an illustration rather than the real thing. Run this lodge? Send us your photos and we'll swap it out.
Five kilometres from the gate, Tandala gives you an almost-inside experience, elephants included, without in-park concession fees. A smart base for a multi-day Ruaha trip on a controlled budget.
Why you'd pick it
- Closest private camp to the park gate
- Elephants drink at the camp waterhole
- Walks and village visits possible (outside park rules)
