Kichuguu Camp is a permanent tented camp located in the Tarangire River Valley in the heart of Tarangire National Park.
Kichuguu Camp is a lovely tented camp with a great position in Tarangire National Park. It is perhaps best suited as a ‘drive-in’ camp, where you explore the park with a private guide, but can also offer fly-in safaris hosted by resident guides. The tents and central mess areas are very comfortable and the camp maintains the atmosphere of a genuine tented camp. The management and staff are friendly and keen to provide a good service, and whilst we would never suggest Kichuguu is a luxury option, it does maintain a reasonable level of sophistication. Ultimately Kichuguu is a very practical and good quality option if some of the more exclusive/ upmarket tented lodges in Tarangire are either not your preference or are just out of range price wise.
