Location
Tarangire National Park, Tanzania

Chem Chem Lodge is secluded within the Burunge Wildlife Management Area between Tarangire and Lake Manyara national parks. The intimate outpost lies on the scenic western side of the wildlife concession. Eight tent-style suites flank the main lodge, evoking the spirit of a vintage safari operation. Each spacious canvas tent, set well apart from the others, has a private lake view and incorporates local materials like lava stones and wood. Luxury en suite bathrooms have indoor and outdoor showers, dressing room, dressing gown and slippers. Yoga mats are provided, and private patios are complete with an indulgent day bed. The family suite, which can sleep four adults or two adults and two children, consists of a full suite connected to a vintage-style tented room with two single beds, a rocking chair, small desk, and its own bathroom with indoor shower and dressing room. The two rooms are built on the same platform and are connected via a small wooden bridge. 

The lodge's main house embodies the shape of a flamingo with its wings spread for landing. One wing holds the full-service gourmet restaurant and an outside fireplace, while the other wing contains a bar, lounge, fireplace and fully stocked library. Expansive wooden decking offers multiple vantage points around the compound, while the Eagle's Nest viewing tower offers an even more awe-inspiring panorama over Lake Manyara.  A swimming pool is hidden in the trees, offering an escape from the afternoon heat, while the Chem Chem Amani Spa offers further modes of relaxation.
