Little Chem Chem is located in a huge unfenced concession of 16,000 hectares. There is good game in the immediate vicinity, with regular leopard and cheetah sightings. Venture a little further afield and you come to Tarangire National Park, which is about 25 minutes away. Here you will find all the game you are looking for. Tarangire is especially known for its huge herds of elephants, and for the amazing ancient Giant Baobab trees which dominate parts of the landscape.
For access Little Chem Chem is about an hour from Lake Manyara airstrip, and slightly longer from the safari capital of Arusha...both on the same good tarmac road.
Little Chem Chem comprises 5 tents, each with a sewn in base set on a brick deck, and furnished in Classic camping style, with a veranda, vanity/dressing area, an integrated flush toilet and safari shower. 3 tents are doubles and 2 are twins. The setting and rationale is pioneer camping....Mozart and Crystal, Finch Hatton, Hemingway, Charlie Cottar...with all the trimmings they would have taken with them. It epitomises the “Smell the canvas, hear the roar”! of the bush
The owners are Swiss and French, and the dining experience bears the hallmark of their respective nationalities.
Activities include game walks, moonlit drives, off road game drives, running with the Maasai, and splendid sundowners
There is a shop, and a mess area comprising lounge/bar and dining tent.
Little Chem Chem is an ideal first night safari location, because you are immediately in authentic mode and well into the bush. The charismatic French owner will have you spell bound with his knowledge on flora and fauna, as well with stories of his many adventures from years of living remotely in the bush. Here is a man who can take on the Congo!

Mwiba River Lodge opened in summer 2013 in the Mwiba Wildlife Reserve, a private area of 51,000 hectares to the west of the Serengeti National Park.
This is an area where the large herds of the Great Migration settle between December and early March for the calving season. As it is not in the Park, it is not subject to Park restrictions, so off-road driving, night drives and game walks are all permitted. It comprises eight spacious rooms all with a double bed and a sofa bed, and an inside and outside shower, and bathtub and a flush toilet. The rooms are spread out and are about a 2 minutes’ walk from each other, so everything is very private.
It is built overlooking the river, and it is sculptured into the natural rocks, especially in the public areas of the dining room and lounge bar. There is an infinity pool and a well-frequented waterhole. You can lie by the swimming pool and watch the wildlife activity at the wildlife pool; the lodge has 24/7 water and electricity.
At Mwiba River Lodge the tariff includes:
- Meals.
- Accommodation.
- Tea & coffee, -mineral water, soft drinks, house wine and beers and some spirits.
- All game activities, including night drives and game walks as well as regular game drives.
- Laundry
Chargeable at Mwiba River Lodge:
- Gratuities.
- Champagnes, Cognacs, Premium brand spirits, cellar wines, cigars and cigarettes.

The Grumeti Reserves is located adjacent to the Western Corridor of the Serengeti National Park, bordering the national park, and encompasses 400,000 acres of unrivalled wilderness. Wide river valleys meandering through the plains, grass lands, woodland and forest. Grumeti features exclusivity combined with the ability to enjoy a wide selection of activities not allowed inside the Serengeti as it not governed by national park regulations.
Sabora Plains Tented Camp is beautifully decorated in grand campaign 1920s style. Excellent location in the middle of vast plains with abundant resident plains game in and around the camp; herds of topi, zebra and impala actually moving around the unfenced camp. Always lions and buffalo of the Big 5 in the vicinity, and elephants are never far away. Tree climbing lions are not unusual here, and herds of 100+ elephants are often seen within half an hour of the camp.
It is a very exciting place to stay and as much as anywhere, you really know you have been on safari!
The six lavish tents are air-conditioned and feature a bedroom and reading area, bathroom with bath and outdoor shower, viewing deck with your own Swarovski spotting scope, and a library lounge tent. The tents are very spacious with a nice Zanzibari feel which makes them very different to other tents on safari. Unusual, but it works. Meals can be taken in a variety of locations - on the wooden deck overlooking the Plains, in the cosy dining tent or under a huge tree just in front of the lodge.
The camp also has a heated plunge pool, Jacuzzi, tennis court, spa and Colonial Trading Post. You are more likely to see zebras playing on the tennis court than guests.
Game viewing is in open vehicles; with both day and night off road game drives; bush sundowners and game walks escorted by professional guides.
A Balloon Safari is also available at an extra cost and should be booked in advance.
Arrangements are on an all-inclusive basis with all meals, drinks and activities as part of the tariff, except for the cost of wines, champagnes and spirits from the Connoisseur's Wine Card, Spa treatments, Trading Store purchases, gratuities, hot air ballooning.
