Over the years, we've cut winding paths into the remotest quarters of Tanzania's parks and reserves. Here, the landscape and environment inspires design, with each camp born from hand-painted watercolours, a thoughtful process reflecting our approach to safari itself.
To us, small is beautiful – each lodge built to be home for a handful of guests. The value of this is hard to overstate, lodges that sit quietly in their natural surroundings and feel more like a bush home than a hotel. You'll come to know each camp crew member and leave with a deeper understanding of Tanzania's wild places.

Within each location we exist as quiet observers to the wild, these are comfortable places that allow guests to get beneath the skin of an area—and that's just how we like it. Within our lodges, you'll discover well-worn leather chairs, locally crafted furnishings, and natural materials that age gracefully with the passing seasons.
This is luxury that whispers rather than shouts—authentic, purposeful, and perfectly attuned to its surroundings.
We’ve always made a point of furnishing our safari lodges with the products of local suppliers and artisans bringing a unique look but consistent style throughout our camps. From hand-woven bedspreads to lamp shades made from rat traps, we’re always on the lookout for local treasures.
To have lodges in these wilderness locations is a remarkable privilege, but with it comes a responsibility we take seriously.
Nowhere is our philosophy of treading lightly more important. So when we built Entamanu we set ourselves simple ground rules to ensure that when the day comes to pack up camp, there is nothing left behind and nothing to stop the bush reclaiming our site entirely.
We’ve stripped away the unnecessary—no televisions, no distractions. Just spoiling handcrafted furniture, locally woven textiles, and a bed perfectly placed to frame the wild beyond. With open fronted bedrooms can watch elephants tracing their migratory paths or enjoy a stunning sunrise with fresh coffee in hand.
Then after a day on the plains you can wash away the safari dust with a proper shower using our luxurious local body wash. Each en-suite bathroom is open to wild - we like to give you every opportunity to lookout, and who wouldn't want to watch the passing wildlife while brushing their teeth?
Our safari lodges occupy territories in Tanzania chosen not for convenience but for their wild integrity. From the rock-fringed outcrops of Lamai Serengeti to the wind-swept rim of Entamanu Ngorongoro and the mile wide rivers of Sand Rivers, Nygere.They are designed for those who want to go deep into the wild, where luxury comes with location and experience.
