Chem Chem Lodge, Tanzania
The exclusive Chem Chem Lodge lies within the migration corridor between the immense savannahs of Tarangire National Park and the bird-rich waters of Lake Manyara on its own 4000-hectare private land concession.
Each of the eight luxurious tents offer an elegant bedroom, reading room, full bathroom, outdoor shower and wooden deck area, perfect for evenings by firelight.
The main area of the lodge has ample comfortable sofas and armchairs to relax in or exchange stories with other guests; there is also a main swimming pool with views out to the savannah.
Chem Chem offers an incredible experience, exploring its private concession on foot or vehicle. Other facilities within the camp include a dining room serving gourmet fusion cuisine, lounge, library, sundeck, swimming pool and an excellent spa.
Each guest who stays at Chem Chem contributes to this conservation success by paying a Conservation & Community Fee of US$ 160 (2023) & US$ 180 (2024) per person per night. This revenue directly contributes to the concession fees, which protect the reserve from alternative land usage, and support the Wildlife Corridor Project between Tarangire National Park and Lake Manyara National Park. This is a crucial project because of the ever-increasing human impact on the natural movement of wildlife in the area.
