Little Chem Chem, known as the sunrise camp, offers sweeping views from the shores of Lake Burunge to the distant Babati Mountain Range. The region is flush with wildlife and you'll revel in unforgettable encounters every day. Here, lions roam the camp, calling to each other at night, while herds of Big Tuskers quench their thirst at nearby waterholes and cheetahs hunt the plains.
Blending modern comfort with the timeless appeal of a vintage safari experience, the camp embraces Chem Chem’s ‘Slow Safari’ ethos—where nature sets the pace, and every detail exists in harmony with the wilderness.
Known as the sunrise camp, Little Chem Chem lies on the eastern side of the concession. This intimate camp offers five elegantly decorated vintage tents, each with a large bedroom (three have king-size beds, two offer twin beds), with a rocking chair and study desk, a vanity area with dressing room and an en suite bathroom with a shower and flushing toilet.
Embracing an ‘Out-of-Africa’ atmosphere, each tent also offers a private fire pit with flames that seduce you as the sounds of an African night come to life all around to you.
