Tarangire Ndovu Tented Lodge, Tanzania

Overview

Located in the heart of Tarangire National Park, this small, stylish lodge is set along ancient migratory routes, surrounded by baobab trees and rich wildlife territory. The elevated tents are positioned to take full advantage of the bush views, and the atmosphere is intimate, welcoming, and connected to the rhythms of the land.

The lodge features 12 permanent canvas tents, including a romantic honeymoon tent and two family suites, all raised on wooden platforms. Interiors are naturally ventilated with open-sided mesh walls and canvas drapes, while polished concrete bathrooms include handmade terracotta sinks and rain showers. Locally crafted furnishings and soft lighting add warmth and character.

Guests can expect twice-daily game drives focused on Tarangire’s iconic elephant herds and vast open plains. Between safaris, unwind by the rim-flow pool, enjoy a sundowner around the fire, or join bush breakfasts beneath ancient baobabs. Evenings are softly lit with beeswax candles and lanterns, offering an authentic and atmospheric safari experience.
