Olkambe Simba Lodge Tarangire

🌍 Tanzania

📍 Tarangire

Olkambe Simba Lodge Tarangire is an upper mid-range lodge suited to families and groups who want space, a pool, and straightforward comfort near the Burunge side. It’s for those prioritizing affordability and predictability over boutique or canvas style. While outside the park, it offers good value for travelers mixing Tarangire with Lake Manyara or Karatu stays.

Pricing: typically $695–$750 per double in high season; around $415–$450 in low season (Mar–May).

Thoughtful comparisons: Same-tier: Tarangire Simba Lodge (upper mid-range; slightly smaller, simpler) and Conserve Safari Tarangire Camp (upper mid-range; tented authenticity, closer to loops). Step up: Tarangire Ndovu Tented Lodge (luxury; tented lodge inside park). Step down: Burunge Tented Lodge (mid-range; simpler but similar location).

Safari context: Longer drive to reach the riverbed loops; the reward is more affordable stays and the option to combine with corridor excursions.

Spacious chalet-style rooms with en-suite bathrooms, mosquito nets, fans and verandas. Central lounge, dining room and swimming pool. Larger capacity makes it practical for family groups or budget-conscious parties.

Meals
