At once rustic and luxurious, the award-winning lodge is a peaceful and rejuvenating sanctuary to stay in while on safari in Tanzania and a great base from which to explore the surrounding wilderness areas. It has 20 charming well-appointed cottages set in a beautiful garden where guests can soak up the energy and rhythm of nature, and is well-known for its gracious hospitality and delicious food.
