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!
