Roika Tarangire Tented Lodge

Tarangire National Park


Though it’s set off from the park southwest of the gate, Roika sits in the bush and is visited by lots of wildlife, especially elephants. The 21 widely spaced tents sit on elevated platforms under thatched roofs and have bizarre concrete animal-shaped bathtubs. Maasai-village visits and night drives are available. The campsite has hot showers and a kitchen is planned.
