We are an elderly couple who stayed at Roika Tented Lodge for 1 nigtht together with our friends in February 2013. It was the last night of our safari and we had stayed at several big hotels at Lake Manyara, Ngorogoro Crater and Serengeti. So this was our first experience with a tented lodge. We were a bit anxious because... More

We stayed here last year in Feb 2012. The rooms are very clean and very big (we had two double beds in one room) and staff are extremely friendly. Located close to the entry of Tarangire, you don't have far to travel to get to the park. Would really recommend this tented lodge :)

Located right in the bushes of the Tarangire National Park, the camp provides an experience of living it out in the bushes with only the tent separating you and the vast wildlife of the bushes. Close encounters with elephants, kudus and the occasional roar of the lions at night is an adventurous way of spending your night in the jungle.... More

Staying at Roika tented lodge is a perfect mix between the safari spirit and the luxury of eating and sleeping well in between the adventures. Nicely situated just outside Tarangire National Park, lots of opportunities to see wildlife real close. They also came very close to the camp, which really added to the experience. The tents were well kept, nicely... More

After having stayed in a couple of nice tented camps during our safari we were really impressed by this one. The tent was spacious and well maintained, the bed comfortable, the washroom clean and almost a work of art because of the wood carved bed. Maasai guards accompany you to and from the dining area to your tent (nice touch).... More

Quick "in & out" arrived for 1 night only, before final day on Safari in Tarangire. Owned & run by the local Maasai, which felt good. Facilities are v. good, restaurant & bar providing 4* food and service, considering location. This is a good option as Tarangire provides excellent game viewing! The Lodge is well enclosed by trees and bush,... More

Tends ara beautiful and they're clean. Food is acceptable, but tipical from the region although with a Tanzanian flavour. It was suposed to be one of the best Massai Resort, but it was only like the other. Other Tends we're more authentic and special for us in our trip to Tanzania. We're not lucky having the more far away tend... More

This was our last stop on an 8 day safari, and this place didn't live up to the others by far. The room we were given was very far from the entry, even though I'm fairly certain it was just us... The staff didn't help us prepare out tents for the night so we had to climb on the side... More

This was our first lodge on our 6 day safari of the Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti National Park. It was the best place we stayed in by far. The “tent” we stayed in was very comfortable, the grounds were lovely. There was a small pool which looked nice although we didn’t have time to... More

Hard to beieve these were "tents." Comfortable beds, great service and food. Wonderful to be part of the park. We slept through the elephants coming through the camp to the pool during the middle of the night. Would have loved to have seen that. Everything about the property was lovely- the design of the buildings and the wood carvings. We... More
