Where safari slows down between Tarangire and Lake Manyara

Tucked between the baobabs and golden grasses of a private wildlife concession near Tarangire National Park, Chem Chem Lodge is the embodiment of the “slow safari.” Here, it’s not about chasing sightings—it’s about lingering in nature’s rhythm, where every moment is deliberate, and luxury is defined by stillness, space, and soul.

With just eight elegant tent-style suites spread across a vast expanse, Chem Chem offers a rare sense of privacy and connection to the land. Each suite features a private firepit, outdoor shower, and sweeping views across the plains toward Lake Manyara. The design is earthy yet refined—soft palettes, canvas textures, and hand-crafted touches that reflect the lodge’s deep connection to both people and place.

Days are spent walking with Maasai guides, enjoying unhurried game drives, or sharing stories around the fire at sunset. Chem Chem is as much about conservation and community as it is about comfort. Whether you’re exploring Tarangire’s elephant corridors or enjoying a private lakeside bush breakfast, this is a lodge that invites you to slow down and feel Africa at its most intimate.
