Tarangire Safari Lodge is built on the elevated ridge of the Tarangire River just outside the Tarangire National Park, overlooking the deep river valley and the Tarangire plains. Between July and December wildlife can be viewed from the rooms and the main building terrace.
The lodge consists of luxury tents and bungalows, all with a small veranda where you can sit, relax, admire the view, and watch the wildlife. The large canvas doors of the tents unzip to reveal the bedroom, where you find two comfortable single beds and a writing table and chair. The Honeymoon Suite is situated near a ridge over the river and is furnished with a large double bed made of old dhow wood. The bathroom has a solar-heated shower with hot water, flush toilet, and a dressing room. Electric lights and sockets are powered by a generator(220V).
In front of the bungalow is a smaller thatched hut with folding safari chairs and a table, which serves as a veranda. It offers a great view down into the valley and makes the perfect spot to unwind after a day’s game viewing, and sip a sun-downer while you enjoy the view.
Food is uncomplicated, but good and there’s plenty of it; superb barbeques in the evening with every kind of meat you can imagine and endless salads.
There’s also a swimming pool here set to one side, with a water slide which is guaranteed to keep children happy for hours.
SWIMMING POOL
Set among the shade of acacia trees, the inviting swimming pool provides a great location for a poolside cocktail or an afternoon dip. There is also a shallow splash pool for children to safely enjoy.
BAOBAB BOUTIQUE
Whether you’re looking for a gift to take home to a loved one or a memento for yourself, The Baobab Boutique has a variety of handmade crafts by Tanzanian artisans and unique, specialty items to choose from. There are gifts for all ages, many of which support local women and craftsmen throughout Tanzania.
LOUNGE & BAR
Relax, put your feet up, and sip a refreshing drink in our bar and lounge area. Fresh Tanzanian coffee and teas are complimentary from 5:45am to get your day started before heading on safari. Join us on the terrace at 6pm for daily ‘sundowners’, complimentary savories, and the unparalleled African sunset. Free Wi-Fi is available in this area, but our location in the bush doesn’t allow for a very fast connection… so we kindly recommend browsing our breathtaking views and not the Internet
