About Chem Chem

Set on its own vast private nature reserve between Tarangire and Lake Manyara, this privately owned lodge is one of the very best in northern Tanzania and a standout option for those looking for tasteful luxury twinned with home comforts.

Chem Chem sits within a private wildlife concession between Tarangire National Park and Lake Manyara, giving the stay a slower and more flexible character than a conventional national-park lodge. Its strength lies in combining privacy, landscape and activities beyond a standard game drive.

01

Accommodation

Rooms

Accommodation consists of eight tent-style suites, including one family suite, making Chem Chem well geared to younger travellers and ideal for families of all sizes. All tents are spaced well apart and raised above ground level and are accessed along wooden walkways. Bedrooms feature double or twin beds, bedside tables and lighting, a standing fan, two storage trunks, a tea-and-coffee station, plus a separate seating area. En-suite facilities comprise flush toilet, twin washbasins, a freestanding bathtub with shower attachment plus an outside shower. Every suite also has a private veranda from where you can spot the local wildlife.

Meals are relaxed and tailored to the day, with indoor and outdoor settings, bush breakfasts and private dining possible according to weather and arrangements.

What to do

Activities

Alongside game drives, the private concession allows guided walks, sundowners and other slow-safari experiences. Access to Tarangire and Lake Manyara can be incorporated depending on the length and shape of the stay.

Planning your stay

How Chem Chem fits the journey.

Tarangire’s dry-season concentration along the river is a strong reason to stay longer than a passing visit. A lodge’s exact location matters to the day’s driving.

Some stays sit within the national park and others on private land. That changes which activities are possible, so we confirm the experience for the specific property and dates.
