Tarangire Simba Lodge
Tarangire Simba Lodge
Tarangire Simba Lodge is located on the northwestern edge of the Tarangire National Park and is an ideal combination of nature living, an eco-friendly lifestyle, and a Tanzanian style. Located on the shores of the beautiful Lake Burunge, this serene lodge gives the traveller an opportunity to be a part of the unruly nature of the Tarangire landscapes, where the ancient baobab trees and the free-roaming elephants determine the rhythm of life. Tarangire Simba Lodge is a destination where nature mixes with comfort in the most flawless manner for the safari lovers who are in need of adventure and relaxation.
A Gateway of Tarangire National Park.
Tarangire Simba Lodge is situated right outside the main entrance of Tarangire and is a perfect place to base yourself when exploring what can be described as one of the richest wildlife parks in Tanzania. The lodge falls in the Kwakuchinja Wildlife Corridor, which is a significant migration pathway between Tarangire and Lake Manyara and the overall ecosystem of the Maasai Steppe. This implies that visitors are likely to see wildlife directly at the lodge, such as the elephants, zebras, giraffes and wildebeests, which are within the location and roam freely, more so during the dry season.
This is a convenient place where one can easily access the park to go on a daily game drive and get a peaceful escape from the busier tourist spots. The lodge is about two and a half hours by road, a good destination on a northern Tanzania safari circuit that would include Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, and Serengeti National Park.
The Wild Accommodation of Charms.
Tarangire Simba Lodge has large tented rooms that are raised on wooden platforms to give the rooms the luxury of a real bush stay. All tents are a mixture of canvas walls, wooden floors and thatched roofs, which make the tent a stylish and comfortable environment which connects the guests to nature. The private verandas look out over sweeping views of the bush, and by night, the guests may hear the distant callings of the hyenas, lions and nightjars under the African sky.
The interiors are well-decorated with well-made local furniture and low-key lighting, giving it a residential atmosphere. En-suite bathrooms are fitted with solar-heated and environmentally friendly toiletries, a factor that highlights the sustainability of different activities in the lodge. Tented facilities are also provided as twin, double and triple tented options, which come with a lot of space and privacy for the family or groups.
Green Design and Sustainability.
The Tarangire Simba Lodge is sustainably run, as the Simba Portfolio has an eco-lodge philosophy. Electricity and water heating are done with solar power so that the environmental footprint is reduced, and the guests can experience the modern conveniences. The lodge supports local communities also by offering them jobs, buying their products in the surrounding villages, and giving back to the conservation in the locality.
Waste management and water recycling systems are well managed, and the use of eco-friendly materials is a symbol of extreme respect towards the ecosystem around. By staying at the Tarangire Simba Lodge, one is guaranteed a memorable experience during a Tanzania safari, as well as improving the environment and the local communities.
Dining with a View
Tarangire Simba Lodge meals are a sensual delight. The restaurant on the premises offers a combination of both Tanzanian and international foods that are made using fresh and locally acquired foods. The guests can have a good breakfast meal and then proceed on to have game drives, light lunches and enjoy a three-course meal under the stars.
The outside dining room of the lodge is seen overlooking the bushland and a waterhole, which has a large number of wildlife, especially during the dry period. The sight of drinking elephants and antelopes makes one have a close relationship with nature that is hard to get elsewhere, as one eats. The private dinners may also be organised on demand to make the experience more romantic.
Thrilling Safari Tours.
The Tarangire Simba Lodge offers its visitors the chance to go on guided game drives to Tarangire National Park, which is home to the largest herds of elephants, picturesque scenery with baobabs, and a variety of wildlife. Over 500 species of birds can be found in the park, thus a birdwatcher’s paradise. Game drives give chances to see lions, leopards, cheetahs, and large groups of buffalo; moreover, there are small but no less interesting creatures such as mongooses and warthogs.
There can be nature walks around the lodge area, which can be made when people want to explore it more slowly. Guided by a local guide, the visitors can get to know about the animal tracks, medicinal plants, and the delicate balance of the ecosystem. The lodge also has Tanzania cultural tours to the local Maasai villages, where the visitors are provided with a chance to have a real look at the rich cultural heritage and traditional lifestyle in Tanzania.
Relaxation and Leisure
Guests may enjoy the swimming pool in the lodge after a day of adventure and have a cool experience overlooking the savannah and forgetting the heat of the day. The loungers placed under the shaded umbrellas provide a quiet place for reading or just enjoying the music of the bush. The lounge and bar of the lodge give a homely ambience in the evening to relax and have a drink with fellow travellers during the time the sun sets with its bright hues of gold and crimson.
Tarangire Simba Lodge has a setting that is inspirational to photography lovers. The landscape gives ideal backgrounds to the renowned safari pictures, even the golden light that penetrates the baobab trees to the silhouette of elephants against a pink horizon.
Tarangire Simba Lodge: Best Time to Visit.
Tarangire National Park is a permanent attraction site, although wildlife can be easily observed during the dry season between June and October. During this season, animals flock around the Tarangire River and water holes nearby and offer great game viewing opportunities as soon as one gets into the lodge. The wet season occurs between November and May and colours the park in green shades, making it the best season to watch birds and with fewer people.
Since Tarangire Simba Lodge is available all year round, visitors will be able to experience the inimitable beauty of the park during all seasons of the year. It is either the colourful scenery of the rains or the golden plains of the dry season, but every time one comes back, it has something unique and memorable.
How to Get There
Tarangire Simba Lodge is accessible to most travellers through Arusha, the safari gate of the northern part of Tanzania. It is about two and a half hours through a scenic route that is lined with Maasai villages and open plains. Charter flights may also arrive on short airstrips at the Kuro or Manyara airstrip, ten minutes or so from Arusha or the Kilimanjaro International Airport, depending on the person on a luxury itinerary.
Tarangire Simba Lodge is also featured in many Tanzania safari itineraries as part of a multi-park trip visiting Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, and Serengeti National Park to create a balanced visit to the Tanzanian northern safari circuit.
