Chem Chem Lodge blends in with the wilderness that stretches on all sides. Chem Chem’s main Lodge reflects the form of a flamingo with its wings spread wide for landing. One wing holds the full-service gourmet restaurant and an outside fire place, the other wing offers a bar, lounge, fire place and fully stocked library. The Lodge also boasts a viewing deck with views over Lake Manyara. Outside, discover the gym or the pool hidden in the trees while the Chem Chem Spa offers utter relaxation.

The spacious eight tent-style suites (100 m­²) offer ultra-luxurious accommodation under the immense African skies. Natural textures and surfaces such as wood, canvas, cotton and lava rock convey a sense of merging with your surrounds. Fall asleep in the softest bedlinen to the distant laugh of a hyena, the click of crickets, a nightjar’s call. Awake to the sounds of the wilderness stretching and yawning. Your privacy is ensured with the nearest neighbour at least 80m away. Family groups are catered for with a full suite connected by a small wooden bridge to a vintage-style tented room (50 m²) with its own indoor shower. It can sleep up to three children and two adults.

Walking, night drives, cultural visits and game drives are the main activities on offer in the area. Access by road from Arusha, taking about 2 hours, or alternatively and highly recommended, fly direct to Chem Chem Airstrip near the camp. Enjoy the spa and relaxing pool in this tranquil setting with easy access to Tarangire National Park.

Minimum 2 night stay required.

Enveloped within 20 000 hectares (55 000 acres) of raw, untainted African bush lies the Chem Chem – Burunge Wildlife Management Area (WMA), with secluded, elegant tent-style accommodation at three locations: Chem Chem Lodge, Little Chem Chem and Forest Chem Chem. Each is designed to evoke the spirit, luxury and intimacy of a vintage safari experience.

CHEM CHEM FOUNDATION

The Chem Chem Foundation’s aim is environmental protection in rural Tanzania. It assists the local communities in their ongoing efforts to safeguard their surrounding wildlife. In consultation with the appropriate authorities, the Foundation supports the school infrastructure. It offers courses for teachers and helps children learn about their local ecosystem through environmental education. Chem Chem believes supporting education and protecting wildlife forms a perfect symbiosis.  The Foundation also employs and supports rangers who help protect the wildlife of the WMA.

WILDLIFE CORRIDOR PROJECT

Chem Chem works to rescue the wildlife corridor between Tarangire and Lake Manyara National Parks. This is a crucial project because of the increasing human impact on the natural movement of wildlife in the area. It involves working closely with and providing work for the villagers in the corridor.
