Tarangire Simba Lodge offers a soulful safari retreat in one of Tanzania’s most wildlife-rich landscapes, where the ancient rhythms of Tarangire National Park unfold just beyond your doorstep. Set near the Sangaiwe Gate and overlooking the shimmering expanse of Lake Burunge, the lodge embraces a setting that feels both serene and authentically wild. A towering baobab tree greets guests upon arrival, anchoring the lodge in a landscape teeming with elephants, lions, zebra, giraffe, and prolific birdlife. Here, days are shaped by the movement of wildlife and the warm, enveloping atmosphere of true African bush hospitality.
Accommodation comes in the form of spacious classic canvas tents, each permanently set under thatch and elevated on wooden platforms for comfort and views. Thoughtfully designed with handcrafted hardwood furnishings, ensuite bathrooms, outdoor showers, and private verandas facing the bush, the tents offer a seamless blend of rustic charm and contemporary convenience. Solar power provides hot water and lighting, while amenities like a safe, charging strip, umbrellas, and torches ensure guests feel well taken care of. With queen, twin, triple, and family tent options, the lodge welcomes couples, families, and small groups alike, always prioritizing comfort and service; beginning with a warm welcome, cool towel, and a refreshing drink upon arrival.
The heart of the lodge beats through its communal spaces, where guests gather around the campfire, enjoy afternoon tea, cool off in the pool overlooking the savannah, or relax with a glass of South African wine in the lounge and bar. Dining is a relaxed yet refined affair, with meals served in an inviting atmosphere surrounded by the sounds of the bush. As a property situated between protected and village lands, Tarangire Simba Lodge also plays a vital conservation role, helping maintain an essential wildlife corridor while working closely with local rangers. With free Wi-Fi in common areas, solar-powered operations, and a commitment to thoughtful service, the lodge offers an unforgettable stay that captures the beauty, tranquility, and spirit of Tarangire.
