Accommodation
Tarangire Safari Lodge
Best safari lodge for: Unbeatable Tarangire location
This is my favourite place to stay in Tarangire National Park. Yes, there are smarter and more exclusive alternatives, but none that comes close to Tarangire Safari Lodge when it comes to location.
This clifftop lodge offers a mesmerising view over a long stretch of river where elephants maintain a near-permanent presence. And as if that were not enough, it also has an unbeatable location for early morning game drives on the park’s most rewarding wildlife viewing circuits.
The first lodge to open in Tarangire, way back in 1985, it has been owned and managed by the hands-on Simonson family ever since, and it remains of exceptional value by comparison to almost any other lodge in Tanzania.
