Tarangire Elephant Springs

Where Elephants Roam and the Wild Comes to You

Set within the heart of Tarangire National Park, Tarangire Elephant Springs places you in one of Tanzania’s most captivating wildlife landscapes, where ancient baobabs rise above the savannah and elephants move freely through the wilderness. Positioned beside the Tarangire River and near a natural spring, the camp enjoys a remarkable setting where wildlife can gather nearby, creating the rare feeling that the safari continues even when you are back at camp.

The lodge offers beautifully appointed suites designed to bring the surrounding landscape into every moment of your stay. Large windows and private balconies open towards sweeping views of the savannah, while elegant interiors combine contemporary comfort with subtle African character. Spacious bathrooms feature bathtubs and outdoor showers, creating a sense of indulgence without taking you away from the wild surroundings.

At the heart of the camp, the infinity pool becomes a peaceful place to pause after a day of exploration, with the Tarangire landscape stretching beyond the water. The lounge, bar and dining areas offer relaxed spaces to enjoy beautifully prepared meals, share stories from the day, or simply watch the changing light across the plains. As evening arrives, private sundowners, bush dinners and intimate dining experiences transform the wilderness into an unforgettable setting.

The experience extends far beyond the comfort of the camp. Guests can venture into Tarangire on private game drives, discover the park after dark on a night game drive, enjoy bush breakfasts and lunches, walk through nature with a guide, or settle into a private sundowner as the African sky changes colour. For Back to Eden Adventure guests, Elephant Springs offers an intimate way to experience Tarangire — where luxury, wildlife and the timeless rhythm of the African bush meet in one extraordinary setting.

Each stay offers its own character, setting, and way of experiencing the destination, giving you more beautiful options to consider as you plan your journey with Back to Eden Adventure.

Lemala Mpingo Ridge

Perched high on an escarpment above the perennial Tarangire River, Lemala Mpingo Ridge offers one of the most beautiful vantage points from which to experience the park. From this elevated sanctuary, the valley unfolds in a spectacular panorama of golden plains, woodland and ancient baobabs, while the changing light creates a new view with every hour. It is a place where the wilderness feels vast, peaceful and wonderfully close.

The lodge features just 15 spacious suites, each carefully positioned to make the most of the extraordinary views and cooling breezes. Inside, super-king or twin beds, elegant en-suite bathrooms and thoughtful natural details create a refined sense of comfort. Private decks extend the living space outdoors, while sunken outdoor lounges transform into peaceful afternoon siesta beds. Each suite also features a private outdoor bathtub — an indulgent way to wash away the dust of the day while surrounded by the sounds of Africa.

At the elevated main lodge, guests can move effortlessly between relaxation and the wilderness. A spacious lounge and bar provide inviting places to unwind, while indoor and outdoor dining allow every meal to become part of the experience. The swimming pool offers a refreshing pause beneath the African sky, while the spa provides soothing treatments designed to restore body and mind after a day of exploration.

The wilderness surrounding Mpingo Ridge invites guests to experience Tarangire in different ways. Set out on expertly guided game drives, venture into the bush on an early morning walk, experience the thrill of a night game drive, or rise above the landscape on a hot-air balloon safari. For Back to Eden Adventure guests, Mpingo Ridge is more than an elegant place to stay — it is a sanctuary above the Tarangire wilderness, where extraordinary views, intimate luxury and the timeless rhythm of the bush come together.

Nimali Tarangire

Set within its own private conservancy on the eastern edge of Tarangire National Park, Nimali Tarangire offers an intimate escape into one of northern Tanzania’s most captivating wilderness landscapes. Ancient baobabs rise from the surrounding plains, elephants move through the landscape, and the seasonal riverbed creates a natural setting for wildlife encounters. With Lake Manyara and the Ngorongoro Crater within easy reach, the lodge is beautifully placed for exploring the northern safari circuit while enjoying a quieter world of its own.

Just eight elegantly designed tented suites are scattered along the riverbed, each with a private deck overlooking the wilderness and an en-suite bathroom. The interiors combine contemporary organic design with artisanal craftsmanship, natural materials, rich textures and locally inspired details. Two family suites offer two bedrooms, en-suite bathrooms, a connecting lounge and private plunge pool, making the lodge equally inviting for couples seeking privacy and families travelling together.

The lodge itself is designed as a peaceful retreat between adventures. Warm lighting, natural stone, woven furnishings and carefully selected African details create inviting spaces for dining and relaxation, while spa treatments offer a chance to slow down after a day in the bush. Meals celebrate the flavours of Tanzania, with bush breakfasts and lunches turning the surrounding wilderness into part of the dining experience.

What truly sets Nimali Tarangire apart is the freedom that comes with its private conservancy setting. Guests can venture out on guided bush walks and night game drives, watch elephants at remarkably close range from the underground photographic hide, meet neighbouring Maasai communities, enjoy spectacular sundowners or rise above the landscape on a hot-air balloon flight. For Back to Eden Adventure guests, Nimali Tarangire offers a deeply personal safari experience — one where luxury remains beautifully connected to the land, the wildlife and the people who call it home.

Elewana Tarangire Treetops

Perched among the ancient baobab and marula trees on the edge of Tarangire National Park, Tarangire Treetops is a lodge unlike any other. Here, the African wilderness feels wonderfully close, yet your world is elevated above it all. The lodge is centred around a magnificent thousand-year-old baobab, creating an enchanting setting where the beauty of Tarangire unfolds from a completely different perspective.

The lodge features just 20 elevated Treetops rooms, each designed as a private sanctuary high among the trees. Spacious 65-square-metre interiors combine warm furnishings and local craftsmanship with open-fronted designs that invite the surrounding landscape inside. Private balconies look across the Tarangire plains, while generous bathrooms feature distinctive double showers, creating a stay that feels both adventurous and deeply comfortable.

Life at Treetops is designed around memorable moments. Relax beside the swimming pool overlooking the wildlife-filled waterhole, gather around the lodge’s inviting spaces, or settle beneath the stars for a lantern-lit dinner in a traditional Maasai Boma accompanied by song and dance. As evening falls, the atmosphere becomes even more magical, with candlelit dining and the sounds of the African wilderness surrounding you.

Beyond the lodge, guests can experience Tarangire through day and night game drives, guided walking safaris, Maasai village visits, bush lunches and unforgettable sundowners. Its setting within the Randilen Wildlife Management Area also opens the door to experiences that bring you closer to the landscape and its wildlife. For Back to Eden Adventure guests, Tarangire Treetops is more than a place to stay — it is a chance to experience Africa from above, surrounded by trees, wildlife and the timeless spirit of the bush.

Incredible experience with Back to Eden Adventures As the Great Migration season kicks off in June, I'm excited to share my unforgettable Safari experience in Tanzania with Back to Eden Adventures. Their expert guide Hassan took us on thrilling game drives, bringing us face-to-face with incredible wildlife. We savored every moment, eagerly awaiting sightings of lions and cheetahs in action. The highlight of our trip was a luxurious 2-day glamping adventure deep in the middle of forest, with impeccable service from the staff. Special thanks to Laurent and Gift and for their exceptional customer service, which truly made our experience unforgettable. We highly recommend Back to Eden Adventures to anyone planning a Tanzanian adventure.

7-Day Kilimanjaro Trek We recently completed the 7-day Machame trek with Back To Eden Adventures and it was an absolutely incredible experience. The entire team, from our guides to the porters, were exceptional. The itinerary was well-paced and allowed us to acclimatize properly. We enjoyed stunning views throughout the trek, and the campsites were well-chosen and offered incredible vistas.

Great safari experience! Planned a trip for my parents and another couple, and they had an amazing time! They mentioned Laurent specifically took very good care of them during the whole tour and to their particular needs whether it was the food, their medical conditions etc. I definitely recommend this tour for safari in Serengeti. Reach out to Laurent! He's so easy to get along with and communicate with so that you can plan in advance with him before your trip.

Amazing Kilimanjaro Experience An amazing experience in the Kilimanjaro! We did the Marangu Route and Back to Eden helped us with every step of the way: prior, during and after. From the logistic team to the porters and guide team, our experience in the mountain was incredible! Totally recommend them for small or large groups.
