Elephant Lodge
Elephant Lodge
Elephant Lodge is situated in the middle of the Tanzania wildlife safari with an unforgettable combination of comfort, adventure and recreation of the true African atmosphere. The scenic setting of the savannah backdrop is where this exquisite lodge welcomes tourists to relax among the scenes and sounds of nature without being too far away or too close to stay at some of the most renowned national parks in Tanzania. If you want a romantic vacation, a family safari or an exclusive wildlife retreat, then Elephant Lodge is what you are looking for, and you get so much more than accommodation, and that is a window into the soul of Tanzania.
An Ideal Destination for Safari Lovers.
Elephant Lodge is well placed in relation to the Tarangire National Park, which is known to have huge numbers of elephants as well as the famous baobab trees. Its location near Tarangire enables the visitors to make the game drives within minutes and have an outstanding experience of watching the elephants, lions, leopards, zebras and wildebeests roaming in the open plains. The lodge is also a perfect starting point for exploring not only Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Crater but also the Serengeti National Park when the traveller intends to do a northern circuit of the Tanzania safari.
The scenic route that is used by passengers in the Arusha-Elephant Lodge is about a two-and-a-half-hour drive through scenic Maasai villages and expansive landscapes of acacia woodlands. The closest airstrip is in Tarangire; for guests flying in, it will be easy to access the airstrip, as guests flying in may be arriving in Serengeti, Zanzibar, or Kilimanjaro.
Wild Luxury Accommodation.
Elephant Lodge is a mixture of the wilderness of the African bush with luxury. Every large tented suite or chalet is beautifully furnished, with en-suite bathrooms, luxury bedding and small verandahs overlooking the savannah. The visitors will be able to rise in the morning and listen to the distant trumpeting of birds, the crashing of leaves, and the trumpeting of an elephant in the adjacent plains.
The design of the lodge is sustainable and nature-friendly. The use of locally obtained materials, the use of soft earthy colours, and open spaces make the atmosphere luxurious and friendly to the environment. Energy in the lodge is supplied by solar power, and water is conserved and purified there.
Exquisite Food and Hospitality.
Eating at Elephant Lodge is a food experience that evokes the Tanzanian cuisine and international culinary dishes. The lodge restaurant offers locally produced food in freshly cooked meals made out of tropical fruits and organic vegetables, from savoury grilled meat to tropical fruits. Visitors will be able to have a full breakfast, then go out on a morning game drive, have a picnic lunch in the bush and have a fine dinner under the starlit sky.
Evening is usually spent around the fire, where the visitors have an opportunity to take sundowners as they relate their stories about the safari experience. The lodge also plans private bush dinners and candlelit romantic meals, and this brings magic to each stay.
Adventure Tours and Adventure Safari.
In Elephant Lodge, every day is a day to be explored. The best part of a visit is the guided game drives, which are headed by professional Tanzanian safari guides who provide interesting information about the behaviour of wildlife and their ecosystem. The morning and late afternoon safaris provide the most excellent opportunity to spot predators hunting and the elephants as they bathe in the Tarangire River.
Walking safaris are a personal experience with nature for guests who would like to take their time. Visitors will be shown how to recognise animal tracks, medicinal plants and even species of birds in proximity with the help of an armed ranger. Another service the lodge provides is cultural tours around the Maasai communities that are located nearby, where the tourists are able to learn about the traditional dances, the crafts of the Maasai tribes, and the colourful life of this legendary pastoral tribe.
Adventures with wild animals near Elephant Lodge.
Tarangire National Park, which is located around the Elephant Lodge, is famous for the high population of elephants in the park, one of the highest in Tanzania. In the dry season between June and October, the herds can be found at the Tarangire River, forming spectacular scenes of wildlife observation. The giraffes, impalas, waterbucks, buffaloes, and a variety of birdlife, including bee-eaters of various colours and the magnificent martial eagle, can also be spotted by the visitors.
Lions, cheetahs and leopards are usually spotted relaxing in the shade or hunting in the grasslands. Also, the park boasts in excess of 500 species of birds, which are recorded, making it one of the finest birding spots in the East African region.
Wellness in the Wilderness: Relaxation and Wellness.
The entertaining experience after a day of adventure would be to relax at the infinity pool with a view of the bush or have a relaxing massage in the spa of the lodge. The serene atmosphere, which is interrupted by the sounds of nature, provides the ideal background to contemplate and relax. Be it relaxing with a book or enjoying the colour of the sunset as it casts its colours of orange and gold on the sky, Elephant Lodge is the place to be to forget all the hassles of life.
Sustainability and Community Involvement.
Elephant Lodge is extremely concerned with responsible tourism and sustainable activities. The lodge encourages conservation projects that preserve the wildlife, such as the elephants, and their natural habitats, working in close collaboration with the local organisations and the park authorities. Also, the lodge offers job opportunities to local communities and invests in local education and healthcare projects.
When people stay at Elephant Lodge, they will directly donate towards conservation and community development projects, hence making sure that the natural treasures of Tanzania are preserved for generations to come.
When to visit the Elephant Lodge.
Though Elephant Lodge can be visited all year round, the dry season between June and October is the best time to observe wildlife. It is at this time that animals congregate near water bodies and thus can be easily observed. The landscape is clear, visibility is good, and it has massive opportunities for photo taking.
The wet season, November-May, is a green paradise in the park. The landscape is stunning, with a high number of wildlife, even though some of them are migratory, and nature enthusiasts and photographers find it very calm and peaceful without the piles of people.
Getting to Elephant Lodge
The majority of the visitors come through Arusha, which is the entrance to the safari circuit of northern Tanzania. Guests can drive or fly to Tarangire National Park, which is located near Arusha. The drive provides a picturesque entry to Tanzanian rural areas, and charter flights save time and offer a breathtaking aerial perspective of the land. Airport transfers and private transportation could be easily arranged by the lodge or local tour operators.
