"Oliver's Camp review"
The setting was high on a bluff over looking the valley below fulled by many elephants. We enjoyed the camp fire in the evening and the "family" style dinners. The hosts were personable and professional. The bush walk was quite good, one of our high lights." See all these reviews: 13n in Tanzania

"Oliver's camp review"
Although the camp is Asilia owned and run we decided to use the camps own guides rather than the driver Harry that Asilia originally sent to take us around Manyara and Ngorongoro. The reasoning was that the camp's vehicles would be open and the guides would have up to date local knowledge of the area. The guide Oliver's provided was young but as good as our original driver had been. He wanted to extend his bird knowledge and so was an ideal guide for us- a hint- if you are interested in birdlife tell your camp and they will usually provide a guide with some interest in birds and who will drive a bit slower- you see just the same animals as everyone else but get to see the smaller animals such as mongooses etc that faster drivers miss- and moreover will try to keep you away from those other guests who tap their fingers irritably whilst you muse over little brown jobs."

Crimes happen everywhere, but are thankfully very rare on our African trips. After 18 years and thousands of travellers, we have only had 3-4 such incidents. We are completely satisfied that this was purely the work of a criminal, and dont believe that it reflects badly on the camp itself.
Although of little consolation to these travellers the camp responded very speedily. The same day, police and two car-loads of national park rangers were scrambled to the camp to investigate, and went to great lengths to try to catch the culprit including putting up a very substantial reward was put up for information.

The lunches and sundowners and evening meals were great again with great company. A picnic one day was not good but otherwise everyhting was super on the food front. I had a wonderful time!" See all these reviews: 13n in Tanzania
