Tarangire Simba Lodge

Situated in a wildlife-rich corridor bordering Tarangire National Park, Tarangire Simba Lodge offers an authentic safari experience with commanding views over the shimmering expanse of Lake Burunge. The lodge’s thoughtful location near the Sangaiwe Gate provides not only convenient access for game drives but also serves as a critical buffer for conservation between the park and nearby village lands. The landscape is pure, classic Africa, anchored by a magnificent old baobab tree and offering a profound sense of immersion in the wild from the moment of arrival. Accommodation is provided in spacious canvas safari tents, permanently set on raised platforms under protective thatched roofs. Each of the sixteen tents is elegantly appointed with hardwood floors, handcrafted furnishings, and large en-suite bathrooms complete with both indoor and outdoor showers. A private veranda extends from every tent, presenting an intimate viewpoint for observing the surrounding bush. The lodge operates on solar power, blending essential modern comforts with a commitment to a light environmental footprint. Wildlife viewing is a highlight of the guest experience, extending beyond daily excursions. A small waterhole in front of the lodge is a natural magnet for animals, particularly during the dry season. Guests can often witness herds of elephants, zebra, giraffe, and waterbuck coming to drink directly from their tent veranda or the elevated viewing deck by the swimming pool. The area is home to resident lions, impala, and warthogs, and the birdlife is exceptionally vibrant, providing constant activity and interest. Days are spent exploring the immense baobab-studded plains of Tarangire or simply relaxing at the lodge. The central restaurant serves a menu of continental cuisine prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Dinners are a four-course affair, while breakfasts are bountiful and lunches are thoughtfully prepared for either enjoyment at the lodge or as a premium packed meal for a full day out on safari. The combination of its prime location, comfortable accommodation, and consistent wildlife sightings makes Tarangire Simba Lodge a distinguished destination for discerning travellers.
