where the elephants may greet you on arrival. Family-owned and managed since 1985, the lodge (the first in Tarangire) is renowned for its location and panoramic views over Tarangire National Park, as pictured above. Here, we are passionate about wildlife, catering to enthusiasts seeking rest and relaxation in one of Tanzania’s most popular national parks.
Each of our safari tents offers a unique opportunity to connect with nature; thatched roofs, large mesh-covered windows, and a comfortable verandah, ideal for birdwatching, game-viewing, or reading a book to unwind after your safari. All, including the family bungalow, are equipped with en-suite bathrooms and solar-heated showers.
The open-air lounge and dining area is a distinctive setting for a morning cup of coffee, sundowners, meals between game drives, or relaxing after your morning bush walk. Our international home-style buffet offers a wide variety of flavourful dishes to satisfy every palate. Upon request, guests are welcome to enjoy dinner by candlelight under the stars and our friendly staff are ready to assist guests with mobility needs and dietary requirements.
Under the shade of acacia trees, the swimming pool is a great spot for an afternoon dip or a refreshing cocktail and includes a shallow splash pool for kids to enjoy safely.
When you are ready to explore the national park, we offer sunrise or evening bush walks along the Tarangire River, game drives throughout the day, and exhilarating night drives in an open Land Rover.
Take your time to enjoy it. Tarangire deserves it!
