Chem Chem Lodge is the flagship of the Chem Chem portfolio, a premium luxury lodge set in a private concession between Tarangire and Lake Manyara. It’s designed for travelers who want “slow safari”—fewer drives, more walks, wellness, and connection to landscape. Here, the focus is on barefoot luxury, spa experiences, and conservation ethos. Wildlife roams through the concession, with giraffe and zebra often visible from the lodge lawns.

Pricing: rates available on request but typically align with the highest premium luxury brackets in Tanzania (>$2,000 per double in high season).

Thoughtful comparisons: Same-tier siblings: Little Chem Chem (premium luxury; intimate, camp-style) and Forest Chem Chem (premium luxury; exclusive-use villa). Step down: Nimali Tarangire (premium luxury; contemporary tented lodge inside Tarangire). Step up in exclusivity: Sanctuary Swala (premium luxury; deep in-park seclusion, safari-first focus).

Safari context: Ideal for blending Tarangire drives with concession walks, sundowners by Lake Manyara, and conservation immersion rather than pure game density.
