Chem Chem Safari Lodge
Burunge Wildlife Management Area $950 – $1,400+
About Chem Chem Safari Lodge
Chem Chem Lodge embodies the concept of "Slow Safari," encouraging guests to connect deeply with the African wilderness at a relaxed pace. The lodge architecture is inspired by the form of a flamingo with its wings spread, featuring soaring canvas-and-stone structures. It offers an exclusive, ultra-luxury experience where privacy is paramount. Because it sits on a private concession, the lodge provides unique opportunities for walking safaris and conservation-focused activities that are often more restricted in the national parks.

Everything You Need to Know
What is the "Slow Safari" concept?
It is a philosophy that moves away from the rushed "check-box" approach to wildlife viewing. Instead, it emphasizes experiential learning, tracking animals on foot, and spending time in the landscape to appreciate the smaller details of the ecosystem.
Can I see the Flamingos from the lodge?
Yes, the lodge is perfectly positioned for viewing the thousands of flamingos that often gather on the shores of Lake Manyara, especially during the dry season.
Is there a difference between Chem Chem Lodge and Little Chem Chem?
Yes. Chem Chem Lodge is the flagship property with a permanent, grand design. Little Chem Chem is a more intimate, classic tented camp located about 20 minutes away in a different part of the concession.
How do I get to the lodge?
Most guests fly into the Lake Manyara Airstrip or the Kuro Airstrip in Tarangire. The lodge provides transfers from either location, which serve as mini-game drives through the concession.
Are night game drives available?
Yes, since the lodge is located on a private concession rather than inside the national park, night game drives are a highlight, offering a chance to see nocturnal species like aardvarks, civets, and honey badgers.
