Located in a private concession that adjoins Tarangire National Park, Little Chem Chem sits on the edge of an acacia forest, with the hills of Tarangire behind. The camp looks out over savannah grasslands towards the distant waters of Lake Burunge.
Behind the lake, the Rift Valley rises up, with the Babati Mountains forming an impressive backdrop.
Five elegantly decorated safari tents are spread along the fringes of the acacia woodland, facing the flamingo-dotted lake. A private fire pit sits in front of each tent. Inside, a spacious dressing room and en-suite bathroom adjoin a large bedroom.
Covering 16,000 hectares, the concession is home to a wide variety of wildlife. Lions, elephants, cheetahs, leopards, elands and lesser kudus can all be spotted across the diverse terrain. Activities available from the camp include day and night game drives, day trips to Tarangire and guided bush walks.
Some of the wonderful places to stay that we frequently recommended.
Oliver’s Camp and Little Oliver’s Camp are both situated in the exclusive southern part of Tarangire National Park. Placed only a few minutes’ drive from one another, they blend perfectly into the natural flora of Tarangire. Providing an immersive bush experience and often visited by passing wildlife, the tents of Oliver’s and Little Oliver’s are well spaced – ensuring intimacy, exclusivity and tranquillity.
Kuro Tarangire moves between a number of selected campsites towards the more remote southern section of the park, from which both the game-rich Tarangire river and the wilderness walking areas of the park are equally accessible. There are four uniquely designed Bedouin-style safari tents: inner bed tent area with large comfortable beds, optional roll-down canvas sides and shade netting. The outer living area is also netted with optional roll downside, kelim rugs, screened dressing area and en-suite bathroom, traditional bucket showers and hot and cold water available on demand. Hammocks and safari-style tin baths outside the tent help you to keep cool during the heat of the day.
Nestled in a remote pocket of Tarangire National Park, Swala is sited in a copse of majestic acacia trees at the edge of the Gurusi wetlands and the unfurling savannah beyond. Swala’s nine private, permanent tents feature en-suite bathrooms with showers, complemented by fittings and fixtures crafted from local materials to mirror the understated elegance of the time-honoured safari style.
Situated on a private concession overlooking Lake Manyara, Chem Chem is a lodge where you are encouraged to relax and breathe. The cool interiors offer many spaces to escape to for the signature “Slow Safari”. Time to contemplate, walk and dream whilst every need is taken care of by attentive staff. The rooms are large and well-spaced for ultimate privacy and each overlooks the soda lakes, the flamingo and the escarpment beyond. Don’t be surprised if you wake to the sight of a journey of giraffe or perhaps you would prefer to glide on the wind in a hot air balloon? Tarangire is a short drive away for the big game, this is a great place to unwind before or after a safari.
