A major benefit of the Treetops is its location just outside the park boundaries. This is important to your overall experience as it allows you to experience the adventure of walking safaris and night driving, opening up a host of other animals. The rooms themselves can either be closed down or opened fully to allow the cooling breezes to flow through the rooms. Tarangire as a park is usually held as being best visited from around August through until November when the annual herds of elephant arrive, but we would say that it is also a beautiful park to explore year round. Tarangire Treetops is one of the top two lodges here to stay in.

Tarangire Treetops - The Detail
The lodge is set in the Tarangire Conservation Area, astride the elephant migratory route which is thought to run from Tarangire National Park right through to Amboseli in Kenya. The lodge provides superb and unusual accommodation in fantastic, wooden-thatched tree houses around ancient baobab and Mopani trees.
The central dining area provides a comfortable and sociable centre to gather after safaris before disappearing off into your tree, and a selection of cultural and wildlife reference books are available in the thatched open-air library. Special interest groups can arrange for cultural and environmental specialists to come and give talks.
Each of the rooms is enormous and very spacious with a large veranda and open sided tents from which to enjoy the spectacular views of the surrounds. Hand made soaps and shampoos stand next to the open showers which, while utterly private, add to the sense of being at one with nature.
With the natural beauty of the hills and dry river beds begging to be explored, guests can enjoy guided walking safaris, day or night time game drives and the enchantment of bush dining.
