Tarangire Safari Lodge:Tarangire National Park, Tanzania.

Our tents are spacious, sturdy and comfortable - more like a room with canvas walls than tents of our childhood. Built on a solid base; with a thatched roof, screened windows and en suite stone-walled bathroom, our tents provide all the space and comforts you need. All 35 tents have been recently refurbished, and we now have 4 tents with double beds.

In front of each tent is a small veranda where you can sit, relax, admire the view, and watch the wildlife. The large canvas doors unzip to reveal the bedroom, where you find two comfortable single beds and a writing table and chair. Our honeymoon suite is situated near a secluded overlook of the river and is furnished with a large double bed made of old dhow wood.

Three sides of the thick canvas walls can be rolled up to expose netted windows. These allow you to enjoy the cool breeze and experience the bush all around you, without being exposed to the elements or bothered by the insects.

The bathroom includes a solar-heated shower with ample hot water, flush toilet, and a dressing room with a wash basin, mirror, clothes rack and laundry basket.
