Awards & Reviews

Guests who stay in our private camps tend to be people who are by nature very “private” and who are therefore far less likely to post reviews of their stays in an Intimate Camp on social media.

If you are reading this, then there is a likelihood that you too are considering booking an Intimate Camp in conjunction with your Safari in Tanzania and you may be slightly concerned that you are unable to find reviews on TripAdvisor or elsewhere on the internet.

For this reason, we would like to share with you the many accolades which Intimate Camps has received over the years from ‘The Safari Awards.’

The Safari Awards (http://www.safariawards.com/) is an organisation which is run by tourism professionals and which honours Safari properties globally recognising camps, lodges, guides, spas and food providing services which far exceed industry norms on the African continent.

Over the years, Intimate Camps has received recognition from the judges on very many occasions for excellence in many different aspects of its operations.

Rather than simply attaching copies of the awards which have been bestowed upon us, we feel that it would be more useful to explain to you what they are.

Best Community Focused Property in Tanzania

Intimate Places has a long history of working with local communities in Northern Tanzania (please read the document entitled “Corporate Social Responsibility” on this website) and was recognised for these efforts by being awarded 3rd prize for 2019.

Best Ecologically Responsible Property in Tanzania

Intimate Camps were ‘highly commended’ in this category in 2015 and were awarded the ‘runner-up’ or 2nd prize in 2019 in recognition of the giant strides we have taken to protect the environments in which we operate. For more information on this subject, please read the document entitled “Intimate Places and the Environment” on this website.

Most Romantic Safari Property in Tanzania

There are few honeymoon experiences anywhere on the globe which can rival having your very own private camp in the wilderness tended by your own personal butlers, chefs and tent attendant. Honeymooners also appreciate the fact that they are also able to set their own pace for the duration of their stay in camp. In 2015, Intimate Camps was awarded 3rd prize in this category and was ‘highly commended in 2019.

Best Family Safari Experience in Tanzania

A high percentage of our overall bookings come from the market segment known as ‘multi-generational travel’ where three generations (or more) of the same family go on Safari together. Intimate Camps is a very attractive option for such groups since we provide them with their own ‘home from home’ in the Tanzanian wilderness and plan their stay around what they actually enjoy. In 2019, Intimate Camps was awarded 2nd prize in this category.

Best Safari Cuisine in Tanzania

Guests staying in an Intimate Camp are able to select from an extensive range of menus – or even to create their own menus – which will be prepared and served to them during the course of their stay by our award-winning chefs and butlers. In this way, guests are guaranteed to be served only food which they like. Intimate Camps was awarded 3rd prize in this category in 2015 and received a commendation in 2019.

Best Safari Guiding Team

Guests who choose to ‘fly-in’ to camp and to use our own team of guides can expect the highest possible standards of guiding. Among our team are guides such as Richard Knocker, Clint Schipper and Paul – Joynson-Hicks who, for an additional fee, can make your Safari an experience never to be forgotten. Intimate Places was awarded 2nd prize for its guiding team in 2018.

Best Walking Safari

Walking is an activity which is strictly controlled in the national parks of Tanzania. Our guiding team can however take you for walks in multiple locations on the Northern Safari circuit and their work was recognised with a commendation in 2018.

It is always worth remembering that Camp Zebra is an Intimate Camp which is managed and operated by the same dedicated team of professionals. Many of these awards can therefore be said to apply equally to Camp Zebra as they do to Intimate Camps

What our camp guests say

This is a new camp in Serengeti and we loved it directly! The tents are really fresh, clean and modern. The staff is so friendly and nice. Where ever you are you meet a friendly face. You really feel welcome at this place.

We stayed at the Intimate Camp in October after a last minute change from our tour operator, but we were so lucky to do so. The camp is in a beautiful location with stunning views, surrounded by the wildlife we had come to see.

We had an amazing time! everything was perfect!! Our two teenagers absolutely loved the place. Beautiful and cozy clean rooms. The staff was super kind and warm. The food was excellent. Can’t wait to come back
