Tarangire Safari Lodge is a substantial safari lodge located in the northern sector of Tarangire National Park, close to the main gate. It was the very first camp to be set up within the park, and not surprisingly it has one of the most impressive locations, on a high escarpment ridge. From this high vantage point it offers stunning views of the Tarangire River below and the baobab and acacia strewn Tarangire plains that extend into the distance. During the dry season (July-Dec), when the grass is low and the game closer to the river, Tarangire Safari Lodge really comes into its own.
Beyond its location, Tarangire Safari Lodge stands out as a comfortable but comparatively large lodge (40 tents/bungalows), and won't suit those looking for a very intimate safari camp. The public areas - an open-air lounge and bar, dining room, swimming pool with loungers - are attractive, having been refurbished in recent years, but not luxurious. Tarangire Safari Lodge's core appeal is very much in its location, and in its reasonable rates.
Accommodation
Tarangire Safari Lodge offers 35 guest tents and 5 bungalows. The tents are classic East African style Meru tents, built on a raised base and covered with a thatch roof. Each tent has a narrow verandah, twin/double beds, and writing desk and chair. At the back of each tent, separated by a canvas partition, is an en-suite bathroom with shower and flush toilet.
Constructed of stone and thatch, the bungalows are larger than the tents and have three beds, making them more suitable for families.
Dining
The dining area is open-air (under thatch) and enjoys views of the surrounding landscape. Breakfast and lunch are self-service buffets. Dinner is a three-course meal, with a choice of main course.
