Here, you can savor early hot breakfasts and packed picnics while enjoying the comfort of en-suite bathrooms and raised Meru-style tents. The lodge's proximity to the park ensures you can explore the river loops at sunrise, witnessing the majestic elephants and iconic baobabs.
Each lodge provides a unique atmosphere, with Ang’ata offering an authentic tented safari feel and Tarangire Ndovu providing a touch of luxury. Staying multiple nights allows for deeper exploration and relaxation, enhancing your overall experience.
