ENCHANTING AFRICA
Elewana Tarangire Treetops
Stay amongst the boughs and branches of an ancient baobab tree in our safari lodge in the sky. Sitting serenely on the border of Tarangire National Park, Elewana Tarangire Treetops offers an elevated experience that is nearly as magnificent as the views it commands. Our generous, treehouse-style rooms provide a unique vantage point to observe the breathtaking landscape and diverse wildlife of the surrounding savanna.
Centred around a Main Lodge, which itself encases a thousand-year-old baobab tree, Tarangire Treetops boasts 20 elevated rooms. These extraordinary accommodations are suspended above the ground, offering panoramic views across the tops of surrounding marula and baobab trees. Each room is spacious and well appointed, blending rustic charm with modern comforts to ensure a truly memorable stay.
As you arrive, you are immediately greeted by local Maasai tribesmen who are an integral part of our story at Tarangire Hotels. Their warm welcome and rich cultural heritage add depth to your experience, offering insights into the traditional way of life that has existed in harmony with this land for centuries. The Maasai staff members are not just employees but storytellers, guides, and guardians of the local ecosystem, eager to share their knowledge and traditions with our guests.
From your treetop perch, you'll have the opportunity to witness the ebb and flow of life in the African bush. Watch as elephants amble by, listen to the chorus of birdsong at dawn, and marvel at the star-studded sky at night. Tarangire Treetops isn't just a place to stay; it's an immersive experience that connects you with the heart of wild Africa, all while enjoying the comfort and luxury of our unique accommodations.

FACILITIES & SERVICES
We believe safari is more than simply touring in a 4x4. A wealth of awe-inspiring experiences await at Tarangire. Here are some of our favourites:
Book the use of an exclusive vehicle and guide for the day for a private, personalised experience.
Utterly exhilarating night drives allow you to turn off the lights and take in the stars of the African sky. See the notorious honey badger, bush babies, and many other nocturnal roamers. These drives are hosted by a guide and a Maasai Tracker and take approximately 1 – 2 hours.
Experience the bush up close and personal with our walking safaris. See elephants, smell the grass, and feel the soil beneath your feet. Walks are hosted by an armed guide and Maasai tracker, taking approximately 1 – 2 hours. Participants must be physically fit and children must be 16 or older.
Visit a traditional Maasai boma, or village. The Maasai people, originating from South Sudan, migrated to this region in the 15th century. They are semi-nomadic pastoralists. A boma may consist of a family, headed by the husband and his wives and children, or many families forming a village. Our visit will give you a brief look into their world.
Immerse yourself in rich Maasai culture as you savour culinary delights in a traditional Maasai Boma. This unique alfresco dining adventure offers a fusion of bush-inspired flavours and international cuisine, all illuminated by the warm glow of lanterns, the flickering embers of the campfire, and mesmerising dance performances by the Maasai menfolk.
Unwind at the end of a busy day with a cocktail while you gaze out at the drama and beauty of Africa. Red and orange skies turn to starry nights as another perfect day comes to a close.
