Gold price level

Mango Opinion

Little Chem Chem is a fabulous offering in the Tarangire area. Set on a private concession adjacent to the park, the focus is an exclusive safari experience set away from the crowds. The owner has great taste so every detail is thought through with tender care. Expect great things.

Known as the sunrise camp, Little Chem Chem is situated on the edge of an acacia forest. The camp is surrounded by the characteristic landscape of the Tarangire River with its impressive Baobab trees and overlooks the freshwater lake, Lake Burunge. The Babati mountain range offers a magnificent backdrop to the south-west, with the distant hills of Tarangire visible to the north-east.

The atmosphere at Little Chem Chem is welcoming, elegant and oozing authenticity of a bygone era. The luxury of sharing 40,000 acres with only 10 guests sets the ideal stage where you can perfectly blend into the wilderness. Lions roam the camp and call each other at night; stately elephants march down to lake to get a sprinkling of fresh water; cheetahs hunt on the plains; leopards, eland and lesser kudu can be seen in the more dense woods in the inner part of the concession. And wherever there is water, the bird life is abundant and colorful. Little Chem Chem’s intimate, elegant but authentic atmosphere, is the ultimate setting from which to explore Africa on foot. Slow down and indulge in a sensual vintage safari.

Little Chem Chem offers six exquisitely decorated tents, each with a large bedroom, vintage furniture, with a rocking chair and study desk, a vanity area with dressing room and an en suite bathroom with flushing toilet and indoor and outdoor showers.
