My husband, two children and I spent two fabulous nights at Oliver's last June. It was our first stop on safari, and what a magical introduction it was. The camp is actually inside Tarangire NP so wild animals are all around. We heard elephants and lions in the night, and the bird life in the mornings was phenomenal. It's important... More

My wife and two teenaged kids stayed at Oliver's camp for one night in late December. What a terrific experience. Our travel agent was "forced" to book us one night there because Treetops was full after two nights there. Oliver's has lots to offer. First, it is in the southern part of the park where, it seems, fewer visitors reach.... More

The staff is wonderful and attentive. The individual "room" tents are set up with some distance between them for privacy and a wonderful view. We enjoyed the outdoor showers - they have privacy but the same great view and plenty of hot water. Our porch was a wonderful place to relax and soak it all in. The tent was roomy... More

We have been to basic tented camps, and we have also been to upgraded tented camps. Oliver's is upgraded, however, remember, out in the bush you camp, it's not a luxury experience. We met the new managers who had only been there for a week before we arrived for a 2 night stay. The staff tries very hard to please,... More

This was our first tented camp in Tanzania and boy were we spoiled straight out the gate. The tent was very private and absolutely fantastic. The room is huge with a nice bed and sitting area. The shower is outdoors and not a bucket shower. Just very cool. In addition to the extremely cool tented room the service was just... More

Oliver's Camp , one of Asilia's properties, is located in Tarangire National Park. Tarangire is a great location to see tons of giraffes and elephants. Nice outdoor shower but no privacy in the bathroom area. I did not have any food in my tent; however a honey badger did get into my tent and chewed through a side zippered pocket... More

How you view Oliver's depends on what you want. If you want a "camping experience" (as the many positive posters say they did) then Oliver's is a lot more luxurious than a pup tent on the plains. But if you want to see the East African wildlife during the day but then go back to the comfort, convenience and safety... More

Outdoor warm shower, plenty of hot water. Sink and toilet are in an open area indie the tent, a little more privacy such as a screen will be better, AM walking tour was informative.
