Chem Chem Lodge

Chem Chem Lodge | Lake Manyara

Chem Chem is well positioned in the Burunge Wildlife Management Area, which sits in between Tarangire National Park and Lake Manyara National Park - a wonderful place to relax, appreciate the beautiful surroundings and make the most of unique activities only available in a private concession area. 
 
The lodge is incredibly stylish and ‘embodies our dream’ says Fabia Bausch, who co-owns the property with professional safari guide, Nicholas Negre. There are just eight luxury tent-style suites which are all identical in size and design. Each tent is elevated on a stone plinth with two private verandahs offering a personal space to unwind as well as breathtaking lake views.
 
The main area comprises a lounge where you can look out over the plains and to the escarpment and beyond; occasionally wildlife will pass by here and in the evenings a fire is lit in the sunken pit where you can enjoy a pre-dinner drink. There is also a contemporary bar area, a library and the Amani Spa which is run by a full time therapist. 
 
Chem Chem is first and foremost a place of relaxation where you can really sit back and soak up the spirit of Africa, but the added bonuses of staying in the private Burunge wildlife area include off road driving, night drives and guided bush walks. For a more focused safari experience, guests can access either of the two national parks.
