Impossible to not start with the elephants… wow - what an amazing experience with the elephants at the watering hole just a few meters away from the pool and dining area. Taking a dip, your breakfast/lunch/dinner, enjoying a soak in the hot tub, or chilling on the rooftop lounge of the cabins while herds and herds of those amazing creatures cycled through throughout the day was insane. What an experience. Food was good, sometimes a little complicated but they out a lot of effort in which is nice. The pool area is really nice as well. The cabins are really well done and we loved the concept, especially the rooftop lounge for viewing animals. It’s an eco resort so you have to be ok with no AC. It got a little hot at times but we managed with the fans and getting a breeze through. At night it cools down nicely. We also did the off-road buggy tour which was good fun, a different way to see the Tanzanian countryside and some wildlife outside the park. Location (apart from the elephants and wildlife) is also great, right beside one of the secondary entrances to Tarangire. Staff were also really nice, shoutout to Innocencia who especially took good care of us, and the Saffer manager who was always good for a laugh and a story.

If you have read other reviews from properties in Tanzania indicating how friendly and genuine were the staff, that’s because it’s usually true. But this place was over the top. We were sorry to leave. It is located within Tarangire Park, which jacks up the price since you are paying entry fees for every day you are there, but we found it well worthwhile for the week we spent there. Very few people do that, and we spent some days NOT doing the usual safari, observing quietly the life that came by, as opposed to chasing after it in a car.

It is a nice accomodation very close to the Tarangire entrance gate. It is very convenient (and much cheaper than lodges inside the Park).

This is a little luxury in the middle of the bush. It was not the main seasion, we were the alone guests in the whole accommodation. The place is beautiful. The bed was very comfortable. The shower was fantastically hot. The tent is big and there is all of the important equipment in it. The meal was very tasty and plenty.
