We really love the view here and the staff are so friendly and kind, I feel the rooms can do with a little updating and the bed linens are a little faded. The breakfast is yummy, I really liked the warm stewed rubarb and homemade yoghurt.

The owner, Annette, greeted us upon arrival and showed us around. Loved that we were in a tent in Africa.! Views were amazing, great happy hour on the patio with popcorn and nachos. Everyone was helpful and courteous (especially Happy) Generator power was not a problem since we were so tired we fell into bed each night. They were just... More

My husband and I stayed here this past May (2013) as part of an 8 day safari (I had been on Safari in 2002 in Kenya as well). I must say that the Tarangire Safari Lodge was my favorite place to stay. First of all, our trip was a combo of Lodges and permanent tented camps. We stayed at VERY... More

This is a nice facility right in the middle of Tarangire National Park. The view from the main facility is just amazing--we thought that was worth the price on its own. The staff was quite helpful and friendly; the tents were clean and had actual running water, showers and toilets. Given that we were in a tent in the middle... More

Tarangire in the wet, commands all the superaltives - how do you describe the massive stormy skies, the golden evening light falling across this magical bit of African landscape dotted with massive Baobabs and Tuskers. For me being on safari is about the dawn chorus, the evenings spent watching, lion, elephants and more elephants mating under a huge darkening sky,... More

My husband and I just stayed at the Tarangire Safari Lodge while on safari. It was beautiful and unique and every person that we came in contact with was so friendly and accommodating. The tents were very fun to stay in and were just as nice as any hotel room! We had a king size bed and a sink, shower... More

Nice views but that’s about it – this would be my least favourite place on our 7 day safari. There seems to be a couple of different levels of accommodation here so be careful when comparing reviews. We stayed in the tented cabins and that is what this review is based on. There is a lot to like about the... More

Spent the first night of our safari here. The views upon arriving were spectacular and we enjoyed a wonderful afternoon drinking cold beers and looking over the river playing hide and seek with the animals: giraffes, elephants, impala. The tents are well appointed and incredibly comfortable. We had a lot of hot water to wash off the first layer of... More

Staying at the Tarangire Safari Lodge was an exciting experience for several reasons. I went with some friends and we stayed in two adjacent tents. As we were settling in the first afternoon, we witnessed five elephants grazing just behind our tents. After that, the impalas appeared, and apparently, this was their favorite area, because they stayed through the afternoon,... More

This was a wonderful place. It had a spectacular view of the river and all the animals that come to it to drink. The tents were comfortable and the morning we got up to see the sunrise my tent was surrounded impala grazing and there was elephant poop on the walkway. I must have slept through that.

Dear handweaver, Thank you so much for the 5 star review :) Much appreciated!! Happy you enjoyed your stay!! We've had the same herd of Impala around camp for the last few months, as the grass is cut and they feel more secure! We really enjoy having them around :) Hope you enjoyed the rest of your safari in Tanzania!... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Built on top of a high bluff with a breathtaking panorama, our lodge is superbly located in Tarangire National Park, providing one of the best views in Africa. Carving out the landscape below the lodge is Tarangire River, a favourite watering place, which attracts impressive numbers and a variety of game. The scene unfolds before you while lounging on the outdoor patio, allowing you to appreciate Tarangire's diverse wildlife. At the heart of the lodge are the impressively high thatched roofs of the lounge and dining room. The open-sided design allows an uninterrupted view of the landscape and wildlife below, and captures the cooling breeze while you dine on our delicious home cooked safari cuisine. The lounge area has oversized armchairs made from old dhow boats, which make a perfect place to relax. Those wanting something a bit more active can take a dip in the pool, a bird walk around the lodge grounds or hunt for souvenirs in the Baobab boutique. Our luxury twin tents combine the authentic safari atmosphere of ‘nights under canvas’, with more modern comforts of electric light and en suite bathrooms with hot water. We also have bungalows that provide the space and convenience of solid walls yet blend into their surroundings by using local stone and echoing the traditional round Maasai huts. Tarangire Safari Lodge now offers Bush Walks, Night Drives and Game Drives. ... more   less
