Each room has 2 queen size beds with a mosquito net around them.
Game viewing within Tarangire National Park and its adjacent conservation areas is, in a word, unparalleled.

Furthermore, with over 550 registered bird species in regular residence, Tarangire is rightly heralded as a veritable paradise for bird enthusiasts.
Although the signature draw is the soul-enriching game drive in a custom four-wheel-drive vehicle, the lodge offers a range of immersive optional activities, including exhilarating balloon safaris, intriguing night drives, and expertly guided nature walks.
