A Nostalgic Luxury Safari Lodge in the Sky
A mesmerizing, high-end safari retreat featuring 20 ultra-spacious luxury treehouses built high into the branches of ancient baobab and marula trees along the border of Tarangire National Park.
Tarangire Treetops elevates the safari, quite literally, into the canopy: twenty vast treehouse suites are built high among ancient baobab and marula trees, while the main lounge wraps around a living baobab believed to be around 1,000 years old. It is one of Tanzania's most distinctive luxury lodges, trading conventional lodge design for open-fronted rooms in the sky.
The lodge stands in the Randilen Wildlife Management Area bordering Tarangire National Park, reached via a 25-minute flight from Arusha to Kuro airstrip or a 2.5 to 4.5-hour drive. The property sits along an elephant migration corridor, and Tarangire itself hosts some of Africa's largest elephant concentrations, especially from July to October, alongside lions, leopards and baobab-studded plains. The private concession permits night drives, bush walks and Maasai cultural visits.
Each of the 20 treehouse suites measures around 65 square metres, among the largest guest rooms in East Africa, crafted from native timber with open-fronted views, an en-suite bathroom and an outdoor shower option. Dining is all-inclusive in spirit, from boma dinners to picnic lunches under the trees. A swimming pool, firepit boma and gift shop anchor the main area beneath the great baobab, while hot air balloon safaris over the Tarangire landscape can be arranged in season.
Continue west to the Ngorongoro Crater, or follow the herds on the 7-day Tanzania migration safari.
