Tarangire Ndovu Tented Lodge sits in the heart of Tarangire National Park, renowned for its vast elephant herds, iconic baobab trees, and untamed wilderness. Open year-round, the lodge provides a perfect base to explore the park, especially during the dry season when wildlife congregates near Tarangire’s vital water sources.
The lodge features 12 spacious, permanent tents, including 10 standard suites and 2 family suites with interconnected bedrooms. Each 20m x 8m tent is constructed with locally sourced rip-stop canvas, shaded by cooling cloth, and perched on wooden decks with private balconies offering views of the surrounding bush. Inside, you’ll find handcrafted furnishings, large beds with premium linens, and polished concrete en-suite bathrooms complete with terracotta basins, solar-powered lighting, and eco-friendly amenities.
Netted windows allow the breeze to flow through while maintaining privacy with light, billowing curtains. By night, lantern-lit pathways and a mix of solar and beeswax candles create an enchanting atmosphere, perfect for unwinding after a day of safari adventures. Enjoy meals in the thatched dining area, by the pool, or under the expansive African sky, with cuisine crafted from fresh, local ingredients.
Whether relaxing by the campfire with a sundowner or marveling at the wildlife from your balcony, Tarangire Ndovu Tented Lodge offers an intimate and responsible way to experience Tarangire’s extraordinary landscapes.
