Recently recognised as one of the “Best Resorts in the World” in the prestigious Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards 2024, Chem Chem Lodge is a refined sanctuary enveloped within 20,000ha of Tanzanian wilderness. Set amid an oasis of palm and acacia trees, the lodge gazes out over a busy watering hole, wildlife-filled plains, and Lake Manyara in the distance.
Designed to coexist seamlessly with its wild surroundings, the lodge marries understated luxury with modern comforts while incorporating rich colours, textures, and textiles inspired by nature. Here, a sense of space and seclusion takes precedence, with each of the 8 tented suites — including 1 family configuration — separated by at least 80m.
Guided by our pioneering ‘Slow Safari’ ethos, the Chem Chem experience invites you to connect with nature at your own pace — free from constraints and schedules. With your every comfort catered to, you can spend your days enjoying the array of wellbeing-centric activities and facilities on offer, indulging in gourmet dining, and toasting the spectacular sunsets from the shores of Lake Manyara.
With a private guide and vehicle included in every booking, there’s ample opportunity to explore the abundant wildlife and birdlife within our exclusive-use protected wildlife area.
The 7 spacious, 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
Immerse yourself in all that is on offer. Your privacy is ensured with the nearest neighbour at least 80m away. The days are long, languid. Times passes gently with the constant, slow movement of animals. You look up from your book and gaze at a zebra grazing in front of you. A few pages later some graceful giraffe drift to the watering hole. Your suite invites an unhurried experience. Immersed in your surroundings all you have to do is look and listen as it unfolds in front of you.
