Reviews of Oliver's Camp

"what an amazing first camp for our visit to Tanzania. the location was incredible as was our tent. we had a great view of the landscape. our guide, david, was extremely personable and knowledgable, resulting in a wide variety of game viewing. watching 2 cheetahs track and try to take down an impala was an unforgettable experience.

the staff at Oliver's were great as was the food. morning tea service was especially welcome." See all these reviews: 14n in Tanzania

"Wonderful camp.

Very close to the wildlife, elephants came into camp and you could hear them all making their rumbling noises all though the night!

Very good food and service. Very attentive staff.

Good location." See all these reviews: 10n in Tanzania

"Great camp. They need a golf cart to get the less-than-mobile tourists between the cabins and the main building. But what a location! And such nice people." See all these reviews: 11n in Tanzania; 4n in Rwanda

"We returned to Olivers after last being there in 2017. A bit has changed with the camp now joined with Little Olivers. We stayed at Little Olivers this time as there was still refurbishment going on at Olivers.

The tent was very much as remembered, very comfortable bed and well set out area with internal and external showers. Excellent wi-fi throughout camp. A pretty pool and bar area has been built in between the two camps and that is being connected to the two camps by a walkway. The sundowner area at Little Olivers didnt quite match the wooden decked area at Olivers from memory, but still afforded great views down to the river bed.

Plenty of wildlife about and our tent was treated to the gentle sound of munching water buffalo and elephants during the night time hours.

As previously the staff were outstanding, and Brian has a great team there. You are assigned a host for the duration of the stay who looks after all your dining/drinking needs. Genaroza was excellent. Food is of good quality and portions are generous.

We did a walking safari as well as our game drives, which was interesting and our guide took time to talk about tracks, signs of animals and bush craft. A nice change from being in the vehicle and well worth the time.

We had two days of game drives and there is a lot more water there than 2017 resulting in a large lake / swamp area which is a magnet to animals and birds. We saw a stunning variety of wildlife and a recent lion kill with the accompanying pride with its cubs.

We also did the night drive which to be honest was a little underwhelming. My thought was that perhaps half the distance at half the pace might have revealed more, but to be fair the guides still picked out a lot of things in the dark, and they do know their job.

We were treated to a great send off on the night before departure, and the staff work hard to ensure everything is just right

In summary we arrived already in love with Tarangire / Olivers and left even more smitten." See all these reviews: 11n in Tanzania; 5n in Zanzibar

"The staff was helpful with everything. We stayed in a lovely room, which was very big.
The first night we were the only guests. They cared very good about us. We had the meals at different places in the camp. Breakfast in the bush, lunch also, an other breakfast at the sundowner place and dinner always near the fire.
We had different activities. We had game drives, an evening drive and a bush walk.
Unfortunatly there are a lot of tsetse flies, so we got a lot of bites. We prepared better for the next camps!" See all these reviews: 21n in Tanzania

"The camp lived up to our expectations with varied dining experiences making a most enjoyable stay.

The guides were very knowledgeable, great fun to be with and made our teenage granddaughters first safari experience very special.

The rest of the staff could not have done more to make our stay very very pleasant." See all these reviews: 8n in Tanzania

"We loved our stay at Oliver's Camp!

The staff was very welcoming and helpful and when we had a small problem with our room it was cleared up right away.

The first night we watched the sunset and a herd of elephants from the viewing platform.

It was a wonderful experience and we hope to go back one day." See all these reviews: 10n in Tanzania

"A tented camp as it couldn‘t be any better: unbelievable welcoming, attentive and friendly staff that made every day of our stay feel very special.

The camp itself offers lovely views from various open decks. The tents are very comfortable and offer all luxury needed.

We loved the place for its outdorsiness (unfenced, located in a rather remote area of Tarangire) as well as its authenticity. Special thanks to Chef Burka who surprised us with a wonderful candle light dinner full of local delights.

Thank you very much to the whole team for this experience !" See all these reviews: 12n in Tanzania
