Tarangire Kati Kati Tented Camp is for value-minded safari-goers who want to sleep close to the wildlife and spend budget on game time, not marble bathrooms. It’s classic mid-range: simple, clean and honest, with the priceless advantage of being ready to roll at dawn when lions and elephants move in cool air.

Pricing: typically $435–$475 per double in high season; around $260–$285 in low season (Mar–May).

Thoughtful comparisons: Same-tier: Burunge Tented Lodge (mid-range; outside the park—easier comforts, longer commute). Step up: Tarangire Simba Lodge (upper mid-range; bigger rooms, pool). Further up: Tarangire Ndovu Tented Lodge (luxury; upgraded tents, similar access).

Safari context: Work the Tarangire River, Silale Swamp and baobab uplands at dawn/late afternoon; pause through the heat in camp shade.
