Excellent tented lodge overlooking Lake Burungi. Spacious rooms with solar panels to heat water and provide lights. The Lodge had placed below the outdoor terrace a number of small concrete ponds that atttracted a large variety of birds as well as mongoose. With one of our guide I was able to bird for a couple of hours enjoying the coming... More

This lodge and area were great, especially for elephant viewing. While there, I received a massage from Jackie. She did a great job. I requested deep tissue, and she was able to provide the same level of relief I receive from my masseuse back home. It was a welcome relief after a day of game viewing. Thank you Jackie!

We have been to several tented Lodges trough our Tanzania trip and this one of the better ones. There is a nice open common space and friendly and attentive service We were put in a room in the second row only. Which is rather a solid building as we were used to tented rooms. Amenities were quite good, missing a... More

I, too, was on an OAT trip and found this to be a very nice place to stay. I found the "tents" charming and liked that they had a real door so we didn't have to fight with a zipper. The beds were very comfortable and the bathroom very functional. It was the only place we stayed that had room... More

The staff here were the best of any place we stayed. They greeted us with a smile and a cold drink when we arrived. They treated us well throughout our stay. This was the best staff of any place we stayed in Tanzania. It was beautiful and peaceful to sit on the deck of my room and look out at... More

The rooms are raised floor tents with a running water bathroom. They were clean and comfortable. The main common area was very nice and open. Felt like I was in Hawaii. We were part of a OAT group on safari. Staff was very nice and the food was the best on our trip. We had a very pleasant stay here.

We were traveling with OAT to Kenya and Tanzania, and spent two nights at this lodge. While the rooms are roomy, they are slightly better than basic. The shower, with a concrete floor, was easy to slip in and potentially fall. The area is nicely situated right on the lake, and the views are incredible. Having a drink on the... More

The property is beautiful and rustic. The "tents" are raised off the ground, have a solid wood floor and high thatched roof, with large balcony and 2 chairs. View of lake is a bit obscured by overgrown trees and bushes. Water in taps and showers comes from the lake, so don't drink or brush your teeth with it. Bottled water... More

What a unique (for a first time traveler to Africa anyway!) place to spend a night between safaris at Tarangire and Lake Manyara parks. The place was a bit challenging to find (they need better road signs!), but after getting there, the staff took great care of our group. The central lodge as well as individual tented lodges have great... More
