Overview

Raised Tents on the Shores of Lake Burunge

The operation is a permanent, family-friendly tented lodge: compact wooden decks, canvas tents with en-suite facilities and a main lodge raised on timber and concrete that frames uninterrupted views to the water and park beyond. It's a pragmatic, comfortable camp that favours wildlife access and easy logistics over fuss — well suited as a relaxed base for tarangire game drives, birding groups, families and travellers seeking lakeside panoramas.
