The perfect setting for a family-centric safari, Forest Chem Chem is a place for delighting in shared adventures and making memories around a crackling campfire. Here, exclusivity is the ultimate luxury. What sets this elegant tented camp apart is its secluded location, which envelops you in an enchanted African woodland for an experience that fully immerses you in your wild surroundings. This is the place to foster a deep, unwavering connection with your loved ones, the Tanzanian wilderness, and yourself.
EXCLUSIVE-USE CAMP | Up to 8 Adults & 2 Children
Freedom and connection are the foundations of Forest Chem Chem where you will find 3 vintage-style tents and a family suite. Only available as a private camp, Forest Chem Chem is ideal for those travelling together looking for space to explore.
Each large, double tent offers a king-size bed (which can be converted to twins) and the double-sized family tent offers both a king and a twin bedroom. Each en-suite bathroom includes an indoor and outdoor shower as well as a vanity, toilet and dressing area.
Forest Chem Chem is the opportunity to experience a bush camp of your own. Here, in the heart of Tanzania, are some of the most densely populated wildlife areas the country has to offer. This is due to our proximity to not one, but two national parks, and the resurrection of an ancient migratory corridor through this land as a result of the conservation work by the Chem Chem Foundation.
