Tarangire Ndovu Tented Lodge is located in the heart of Tarangire, Tanzania’s wild land and landscapes. Tarangire is famed for its massive elephant herds, true sense of wilderness and a gentle backdrop of baobabs. It is the lesser visited but more intriguing park on the northern circuit.

At Tarangire Ndovu Tented Lodge, we have 10 standard tented suites PLUS 2 x 2 bedroom inter-connected tented family suites, and one honeymoon tent with outdoor shower that are open throughout the year. During these dry months, the massive elephants herds travel through the corridor between Manyara and Tarangire and spend their time in and around the park. This is because of their ability to uncover permanent sources of fresh water. We endeavour to retain the uniqueness and intimacy of the camp, while being directed by the location, wildlife and other factors of responsible tourism. The main thatched area is open plan from bar to lounge to dining area - and offset with a stunning rim flow pool in front of the property overlooking the wild expanses ahead, all the way to the Great Rift Valley wall.

Tented Suite - external Credit: Stevie Mann Tented suite, elevated on platform with stunning views across the wilderness to the Great Rift Valley wall

Bar Area Credit: Stevie Mann The main area houses a bar, lounge and dining in an open plan manner - and all under a pitched and thatched roof. Set up on a platform with views across the bushveld in front, the area can easily accommodate incredible bush breakfasts and lunches followed by dining under clear African skies. We have left the natural environment intact, and built the structure woven amongst the baobab and acacia trees.

Tented Suite - internal Credit: Stevie Mann The tented suites are all under canvas while raised on wooden platforms in the bedroom area, and polished concrete for the ensuite bathrooms. The suites are netted windows down the length of each bedroom that can open and closed as preferred, and flowing light curtains at the ready to maintain privacy. The front entrance is wooden framed sliding doors, opening onto a platformed balcony with outside love seat to sit and watch the wilderness in front. All furniture in the camp is handmade in Tanzania.

Main Area Credit: Stevie Mann With peaked thatch, the main area maintain the natural feel of the camp. Wooden flooring, decks and furniture are displayed in open plan style with roll down canvas walls to open and close as weather permits. Fish basket hanging internal lights, and phase down outside lights allow all to experience incredible sundowners out by the campfire under infinite African skies. The deck area provide great space for outside dining, while homely inside furniture offers comfortable indoor areas to lounge and enjoy the sounds of the wild.

Pool Credit: Stevie Mann Encased in locally sourced wooden platform, the rim flow pool at Tarangire Ndovu Tented Lodge is a welcome relief after a long day of game driving. Sunlounges and a wooden gazebo offer areas to relax, and the fresh water washes away the 'safari powder'. With public toilet and shower area nearby, watch the close flora and fauna species as you swim.

Wildlife viewing /bird watching / Balloon safaris and Explore the intriguing wilderness on foot

Wildlife viewing and bird watching game drives within the central Serengeti are offered twice per day. Experienced guides encourage guests to see and experience the Serengeti through their eyes, sharing a world of small and large wonders that only they truly know and understand.

Balloon safaris are a romantic and evocative way of experiencing the wilderness of East Africa, as you silently fly over the plains teeming with herds of wildlife in the early morning. Typically, a balloon safari begins around 6 am and lasts for around 1-2 hours. Balloon safaris (additional cost) in the Serengeti take off from designated sites in the nearby Seronera area. The safari is followed by a champagne breakfast in the bush, a fitting end to a memorable flight in the wild.

Explore the intriguing wilderness on foot with our in-house armed walking guide; follow the tracks, smell the herds on the breeze and hear the crunch of fauna underfoot.Ideally these are at dawn and dusk, before and after the heat and stillness which prevails around the middle of the day when the animals (and most people) take a rest. Our bush guides have a wealth of insightful experience and they will fascinate you with bush-wise facts, wildlife know-how, local customs and incredible stories of life in the wilderness.
