Classic tented safari camp · Tanzania

Oliver’s Camp by Asilia, South-eastern Tarangire National Park, near Silale Swamp

South-eastern Tarangire National Park, near Silale Swamp

Overview

Asilia’s remote Tarangire camp: fifteen tents, walking, night drives, and the swamp for cats and elephants. We use it for specialist groups that want park-inside canvas, not a treetop lodge on the boundary.

We brief Oliver’s Camp by Asilia as part of a meeting, incentive, conference or executive retreat — not as a consumer hotel checkout. Availability is on request from the Arusha desk, with Nairobi and Mauritius covering hub and island programmes.

Location

Oliver’s Camp by Asilia sits in South-eastern Tarangire National Park, near Silale Swamp, Tarangire, Tanzania. There is often no street address in the bush — the pin is the property name, the airstrip, or the hotel road in town.

Accommodation details

Rooms and occupancy

15 tented suites, including 2 family tents and a honeymoon tent

Occupancy limits

Occupancy follows the inventory above: sharing versus single is the usual swing on a MICE rooming list.

Bed configurations

Doubles, twins and singles as the property actually holds them — we collect the rooming list before we lock the block. We do not invent a suite mix the lodge has not confirmed.

Room sizes

Published square metres are a consumer-hotel spec. We brief the category — tent, suite, villa or room — and any ground-floor or interconnecting need in the annex.

A closed working session can sit here if the rooming list fits. A slide-heavy plenary still belongs in the city or on a beach resort that already has AV.

Services and amenities

What we actually brief for this stay. Paid extras, spa hours and meeting-room AV are confirmed in the proposal — not as a consumer extras menu.

Policies

Check-in and check-out

Lodge hours are confirmed when we contract the block. Safari arrivals usually follow the airstrip or game-drive clock, not a city 14:00 / 11:00. Early arrivals wait in a lounge or on a game drive — we write that into the day-by-day.

Cancellation

Cancellation follows the programme contract and the supplier behind this stay — not a one-line website percentage. Peak safari, gorilla lodges and island peak are the least flexible lines. Force majeure and airstrip clauses sit in the annex.

Children

Age minimums vary. Many safari camps set 6–12 years; some conservancies and gorilla lodges are stricter. We collect ages with the rooming list and will not hide a minimum that strands a family room.

Pets

Not for MICE rooming lists unless the property and the brief both say otherwise. Service animals are a named conversation, not a website toggle.

Payment

Payment is through Serengeti Experience DMC as part of the programme invoice: a confirmation deposit to hold the block, staged supplier payments, and a final payment before arrival. This is not a consumer booking engine and we do not take card payments on this page.

Other terms

Oliver’s Camp by Asilia is contracted subject to availability. Park fees, conservancy fees, gorilla permits and internal air are separate lines unless the proposal says they are included.

Planner notes

We do not publish star ratings or scraped guest reviews. Fit is scale, access and the operations annex — not a 4.8 average that we did not collect.

Can we hold a meeting at Oliver’s Camp by Asilia?

A closed working session can sit here if the rooming list fits. Slide-heavy plenary belongs in Tanzania city or beach inventory. Asilia’s remote Tarangire camp: fifteen tents, walking, night drives, and the swamp for cats and elephants. We use it for specialist groups that want park-inside canvas, not a treetop lodge on the boundary.

When should we contract Oliver’s Camp by Asilia?

July–October for classic migration incentives; February–March for calving and photography; June and November for value without sacrificing wildlife. Kilimanjaro climbs follow the same dry windows — late June–October and January–early March — with extra nights for acclimatisation, not a shorter route. Flagship safari and gorilla inventory still wants 12–18 months. City board nights can often be placed in 6–9 months.

Do you publish a nightly rate for Oliver’s Camp by Asilia?

No. Availability and the commercial are on request through Serengeti Experience DMC as part of a meetings, incentive, conference or retreat programme. We will not invent a website price the lodge then contradicts.

Can we book Oliver’s Camp by Asilia without a MICE programme?

This page is for incentive houses, corporate travel buyers and event planners contracting through Serengeti Experience DMC. We confirm the block, the rooming list and the operations annex together.

Do we need yellow fever certificates for Tanzania?

Tanzania, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda and Zanzibar require a yellow fever vaccination certificate upon arrival. We collect it with passports on the rooming list — do not leave it to the airport queue.

Do guests need Zanzibar inbound travel insurance if the programme includes the island?

Zanzibar requires all non-resident foreign visitors to purchase mandatory inbound travel insurance issued exclusively by the Zanzibar Insurance Corporation (ZIC). Buy it online before travel at https://inbound.visitzanzibar.go.tz/
