Perched on a kopje in the heart of Tarangire National Park, Tarangire Kuro Treetops Lodge gazes along a line of ancient baobabs to the Tarangire River and the Silale Valley. Water lingers here all year, so the valley draws wildlife in every season.
The lodge runs on solar power, and its tents stand three to five metres above the ground, giving each one a true treetop outlook. Inside, the style is classic safari with a polished edge, from chandeliers and carved wooden headboards to deep leather sofas in the lounge.
Meals are served in the dining tent or out on the deck, and the team can arrange a Boma dinner, a bush barbecue or a private dinner on your own veranda. Breakfast in bed is an easy indulgence. Evenings tend to end around the fire with storytelling and a sky full of stars.
Between game drives, you can take a guided nature walk, picnic beside the Silale Swamp, visit a Maasai village or drift over the park on a hot air balloon safari. Night game drives add another dimension, revealing the creatures that only appear after dark.
ACCOMMODATION
Each tent is raised along the baobab line, with a private veranda and viewing deck looking out over the park. The rooms are designed for 180-degree views, so you can watch the bush from your bed. A freestanding slipper bath, an en-suite bathroom with indoor and outdoor showers and an ultra-comfortable memory foam bed set the tone. Thoughtful touches include tea and coffee making facilities, a dressing table, an in-room safe, bathrobes and a rechargeable torch. Double and twin tents are available, along with interconnecting tents that suit families.
Tarangire Kuro Treetops Lodge sits on a kopje deep inside Tarangire National Park, overlooking the Tarangire River and the Silale Valley. The river is around 10 minutes away and the Silale Swamp roughly 15 minutes, putting two of the park’s richest wildlife areas close at hand. Kuro Airstrip, which is served by scheduled light aircraft flights, is just a 10-minute drive away. By road, the lodge is roughly 138 km or three hours from Arusha Airport.
