On the eastern edge of Lake Manyara lies a place of unending loveliness. Here is Chem Chem Lodge, ‘the sunset camp’, luxurious without being lavish.

Immediately upon arrival you'll feel an affinity with the space, the silence, the serenity. Nowhere does the lodge impose, but rather blends in with the unfenced wilderness that stretches on all sides.

This exclusive retreat rests on the far western border of a exclusive wildlife concession which forms part of the Burunge Wildlife Management Area that runs between Lake Manyara and wildlife-rich Tarangire National Park.

What truly sets Chem Chem apart is the quality of the food, which might just be the best at any lodge in Africa, the guides and the overall service.
