Tarangire Safari Lodge

Top choice in Tarangire National Park


A fabulous location high above the Tarangire River, good food and service, and well-priced accommodation make this lodge the pick of the in-park options. The sweeping vistas mean that there's no need to go elsewhere for a sundowner. Accommodation includes stone bungalows and standard en suite safari tents; the latter have good views from their doorsteps. It’s 10km inside the park gate.

Ask about the night drives, and there's a lovely shop. The only complaint? The tents could be a little further apart.
