A lodge and tented camp in one

Built on top of a high bluff, and carved from the living landscape, below which flows the Tarangire River, the superb Tarangire Safari Lodge offers one of the finest views in Africa. Attracting large numbers of game, the broad decks allow for optimum game-viewing, without ever leaving the lodge. Offering a choice of luxury tented rooms or chalets, the lodge has its own pool and the extensive grounds offer a wide range of nature walks. The lodge also offers a restaurant, bar and lounge and a gift-shop.

In front of each tent is a small veranda where you can sit, relax, admire the view, and watch the wildlife. The large canvas doors unzip to reveal the bedroom, where you find two comfortable single beds and a writing table and chair. Three sides of the thick canvas walls can be rolled up to expose netted windows.
