With just 10 luxurious guest tents, Sanctuary Tambarare is a peaceful haven that reflects its surroundings – with a generous helping of indulgence.

However, a fabulous new all-day snack menu has been introduced, except for at Sanctuary Kichakani and Sanctuary Ngorongoro Crater Camp, where the menu will be implemented in October, following chef training. Each of our snack menus are unique, offering an array of delicious delights. Guests can enjoy options such as, a beef, pear, gorgonzola and artichoke heart salad. Or, for the sweeter palate, options such as freshly sliced fruits with chefs’ cookies or ice cream.
