Private Safari Between Tarangire and Lake Manyara
Burunge Wildlife Management Area, Tanzania
Tucked within a private concession in Tanzania’s Burunge Wildlife Management Area, Little Chem Chem sits perfectly positioned between the celebrated ecosystems of Tarangire National Park and Lake Manyara.

Just six elegant tented suites are set beneath towering baobab trees, creating an intimate and tranquil atmosphere. Each vintage-style tent blends classic safari design with modern comforts, featuring four-poster beds, wooden furnishings and spacious ensuite bathrooms with both indoor and outdoor showers. Private verandas look out across the surrounding wilderness, while thoughtful amenities such as fans, mosquito netting, WiFi and personal butler service ensure a comfortable stay.
Meals are enjoyed overlooking Lake Burunge, a seasonal magnet for wildlife. Guests can also browse the camp’s boutique, unwind with spa treatments, or simply relax in the quiet rhythm of this remote wilderness.
