Perched on the edge of a natural bluff, with sweeping views over the Tarangire River and its bustling wildlife, Tarangire Safari Lodge is an iconic retreat that offers a front-row seat to one of Tanzania’s most enchanting landscapes. Renowned for its classic safari charm, this lodge blends authenticity, comfort, and adventure for an unforgettable experience in the heart of the wild.

Where Nature and Comfort Meet

At Tarangire Safari Lodge, we offer more than just a place to stay—we offer a deep connection with nature. Set within the boundaries of Tarangire National Park, our lodge invites you to slow down, tune in to the rhythms of the wilderness, and enjoy the charm of Africa’s untamed beauty with all the comforts of home.

🌿 Iconic Safari Tents and Bungalows:
Stay in our cozy, canvas safari tents or charming stone bungalows—each designed to provide a true safari experience while ensuring your comfort. Tents feature thatched roofs, screened windows, and en-suite bathrooms, allowing you to feel immersed in the bush without sacrificing modern amenities. Every room opens up to panoramic views of the valley below, where elephants, giraffes, and antelope are frequent visitors.

🍽️ Dining Over the Valley:
Our open-air dining area provides a stunning setting for every meal. Enjoy freshly prepared cuisine crafted with locally sourced ingredients, blending African flavors with international favorites. Whether you’re starting your day with breakfast overlooking a herd of elephants or savoring dinner under a starry sky, every meal is a celebration of the senses.

🔥 Sundowners and Campfire Moments:
After a day of exploring, there’s nothing quite like gathering around the campfire with a drink in hand. Share safari stories, watch the sunset paint the landscape in golden hues, and feel the peace that only the African bush can bring. The expansive views from our terrace provide the perfect backdrop for evening relaxation and stargazing.

🐘 Wildlife at Your Doorstep:
Tarangire is famed for its large elephant herds, ancient baobab trees, and rich biodiversity. From the comfort of the lodge, you can witness wildlife along the riverbed and plains, often without even leaving the terrace. During the dry season, the Tarangire River becomes a magnet for animals, making it one of the best spots for wildlife viewing in northern Tanzania.

Uforgetable safari 5/5 We had been communicating on Whatsapp from my home country. They prepared various options at my request and were very responsive and kind. After arriving in Arusha, they picked us up at our hotel and left us at Kilimanjaro Airport as per our request. The safari was amazing! The lodges exceeded expectations, and the food there was also nice. The tour guide was so kind and fun, making the experience truly enjoyable. We saw all the Big Five and many other animals! It was an unforgettable experience!

Words cannot explain how amazing this experience is Lovely/amazing/once in a life time/crazy/incredible… words cannot justify the experience that we have had with this tour, a gentleman called felix is who we booked our safari with and he picked us up personally from the airport and took us to our first hotel for the night in arush he was lovely and very kid hearted and hospitable, our driver was also very nice and very educated and alert to make sure we didn’t miss out on any of the amazing animals… and we saw lots, antelope/zebras/wild beasts/lions/rhinos/elephants/giraffes just to name a few… the camp site looked amazing however we had booked tented lodges before hand and regretted it incredibly when we had seen the camp sites but non the less the tented camps were also amazing, the food was incredible both on the safari and in the lodges and it was nice to have picnics with the group, I would 10000% advise you to book with these guys as just a recommendation is not enough, I hope to be back in the near future and will be booking with these guys again :)

Amazing Day To Climbing Mountain Kilimanjaro My husband and I reserved a one-day hike to Mandara Hut on Kilimanjaro with our guide, Mr. Joel. He picked us up from the hotel at 6 am and returned us by 8 pm. Mr. Joel ensured our comfort throughout the day, attending to all our needs during the hike. We highly recommend him to anyone considering a Kilimanjaro trek.

Kilimanjaro day hike materuni waterfall and hotspring "Thrilled with the Kilimanjaro private day hike to Materuni Waterfall and Hot Spring by Kilipath African Safaris! Seamless logistics, a personalized guide, and stunning landscapes made it a highlight of my Tanzanian journey. Materuni Waterfall and the soothing hot spring were an unbeatable combo. Highly recommend Kilipath African Safaris for an enriching blend of nature and culture in Kilimanjaro's heart!"
