Tarangire Simba Lodge is an upper mid-range option by Lake Burunge, designed for value-conscious safari-goers who want large rooms, a pool and sunset decks at fair prices. It’s family-friendly and straightforward, appealing to guests who want predictability and affordability without losing the Tarangire feel.

Pricing: typically $385–$415 per double in high season; around $230–$250 in low season (Mar–May).

Thoughtful comparisons: Same-tier: Olkambe Simba Lodge Tarangire (upper mid-range; slightly newer, larger) and Conserve Safari Tarangire Camp (upper mid-range; tented, more authentic). Step up: Maramboi Tented Lodge (luxury; resort feel and prime sunset setting). Step down: Burunge Tented Lodge (mid-range; simpler but similar location).

Safari context: Being outside the park requires earlier starts for dawn game drives, but the savings and facilities make it attractive to families and groups.
