Our Tortilis Camps

Each Tortilis Camp is a special individual space that brings you as close as you can imagine to the wildlife, provides the exhilaration of the evening fire, the brilliance of the stary sky in Tarangire Tortilis Camp, the Sunrise over Lake Manyara Tortilis Camp, unique smell and mysterious voice of Ngorongoro Tortilis Camp and a sunsetting on an eventful game drive at the Serengeti Tortilis Camp.

Reliable Reputation

It’s incredible to have such a reliable offering created over so many years of developing just the right experiences we have come to know guests are craving. Our systems have been tried and tested and come out with sterling reviews on Tripadvisor. It’s our guests’ feedback we value most in our ongoing development of Tortilis Camps.

Eco-Friendly

Would you believe all of the energy (except the dancing staff!) of the Tortilis Camps is created and supplied via the sun? Our lighting, fridges, electricity and all systems are solar-powered creating minimal impact on the environment. All of the rubbish from the Tortilis Camps is removed by us, sorted, and the plastic is turned into bricks, which we then bring back to make use of as building materials.

Value for Money

Our constantly evolving service listens deeply to exactly what our guests value most. From the feedback, we are able to implement added comfort and fine-tune our Tortilis Camps to cover so much for great prices when compared to competitors offerings.

Friendly Staff

Our guests are always blown away by the sheer joy our Tortilis Camp staff contribute to the experience throughout the stay. Singing, dancing, energetic service and all-day smiles are shared with true happiness of being able to share our amazing spaces with you. The happy songs will swim in your head long after the holiday is over.

Consistent Service

Our attention to detail and constant maintenance to every aspect of our camps makes a tremendous difference in the continuous top class service we are able to offer guests with the utmost confidence.

The Locations

It’s a great privilege to have the Tortilis Camp locations that we do. With this privilege comes the constant duty we feel in showing you the best the area has to offer and an obligation to get the most out of your stay.

Access All Year

The change in seasons brings a variety of wild animal behavior as well as weather conditions. Fortunately, any time of the year will have its own great attributes so travelling to Northern Tanzania is a good option all year around.

Empowering Women

We feel it is our duty to provide you with the best trip, while at the same time contributing to the people and the environment of Tanzania. We employ staff with upliftment in mind and have an active strategy to empower the women of Tanzania through the many opportunities we create including a programme for destitute women in need.

Variety of Choice

From our delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner menus, to the range of Tortilis Camp locations on offer, to the vibrant individual personalities of our staff and variety of wildlife we get to show you; there is so much to share, just make sure you book enough time.

Unique Massai Wedding

It’s not unusual to travel to Zanzibar to be married. But we offer the uniqueness of an authentic Massai wedding. The chief and the village welcome you to their rich, vibrant and festive traditions and the Ngorongoro Tortilis Camp is the perfect place to celebrate and enjoy the first days of being married.

Unique Massai Wedding

Being so close to the equator means the winter and summer weather are not very different and you can visit this national park all year round.


At Lake Manyara Tortilis Camp, the most popular months are June till October but there is never a bad time to visit. Staying overnight in Lake Manyara National Park is a privilege afforded to just three camps, one of which is our Tortilis Camp. It’s a great place to experience the Soda Lake with thousands of pink flamingos. Over two-thirds of the park is covered by water, so a guided walking tour is a must. Bird watching of over 350 species is a tremendous spectacle and Game drives for spotting lion, elephant, buffalo, zebra and a huge variety of game is always a highlight and a trip to the banana plantations of Mta wa Mbu gives some great insight into how the locals live in the area.

At Serengeti Tortilis Camp, visitors are amazed by the beautiful Savannah with so many large cats. Early morning hot air balloon-ride safaris. Mud pools filled with wide-mouthed, water splashing hippos. Observing the many thousands of game moving through various parts of Central Serengeti as part of the great migration. Dramatic landscapes of open Savannah and art worthy Acacia trees and game drives for spotting lion, cheetah, hyena, elephant, hippo, buffalo, leopard, migrating wildebeest and zebra, and a huge variety of game is always a highlight.

At Ngorongoro Tortilis Camp, the high altitude means the weather is much cooler than the other regions of Northern Tanzania. There is so much to do up in the thin air though and our Tortilis Camp location is uniquely positioned to place all these activities at your fingertips. A must when in Ngorongoro is an all-day Safari drive with our driver-guide to the Ngorongoro Crater with a picnic lunch at a watering hole. Walking around our Acacia canopied Tortilis Camp is an adventure in itself. The half-day hike of Mount Makarot right from camp delivers spectacular views. A sundowner with the view of Lake Eyasi. And the close proximity of a local Maasai tribe means you can even have a Maasai wedding with all the festive singing and colourful tradition to create the most unique memories of all.

At Tarangire Tortilis Camp, visitors love to be amongst the Baobabs,which are thousands of years old and carry a mysterious power when you’re in their presence. There are guided walking safaris, great birdlife in the lush Tarangire river surroundings, large herds of elephant and incredible numbers of giraffe. June to October is the dry season when you’ll get the most out of this National Park. November and May are very wet in this region which is a great time to see the many birds around the Tarangire river that has safari jeep tracks crisscrossing the river to get in really close to this rich habitat. Game drives for spotting lion, elephant, giraffe, leopard and a huge variety of game is always a highlight.
