Gorgeous ‘camp’ with all home comforts in the tented lodges. The setting is stunning and the dining terrace and pool area are outstanding. We arrived just in time for dinner and were off again just after breakfast so we didn’t get the full benefit of this wonderful place, but even so we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I got up early to watch the sunrise from our deck which was stunning and a group of antelope came to explore just in front of the lodge which made it even more special. The main building is all open to the surroundings and is a very spacious, cool and inviting space to just chill. Monkeys visited the pool area on the morning to play and see if any breakfast tidbits were available so you were very much in the bush. The prices here for drinks were extremely reasonable compared to the hotels which was a pleasant surprise. Staff here were efficient but less chatty than other places which could perhaps be perceived as unfriendly. That does not apply to the chefs who were hilarious as they cooked stir fry to order. Food and entertainment in one go! This place is perhaps not on the main circuit of places to stay but it is certainly one not to miss if you have the time - and make it two nights not one!…

We stayed 2 nights here with our children and loved the peaceful environment, the sounds of birds in the morning and the nice view from the pool (though it was a bit chilly for swimming at the time we went). Rooms were perfect and food was excellent.

This was one of the busier places we visited and we enjoyed the atmosphere We arrived too late for time by the pool and happy hour. The dinner on the terrace was atmospheric, and the rooms were lovely I ran the length of the resort multiple times as we were in the bush- I got 10kms in to the great amusement of the staff!

We only had one night here and wish we had more time, but the room was very spacious and comfortable. They had a happy hour from 6-7 pm which was very nice, the pool looked lovely although it was a little too chilly for us to enjoy. The dinner was great. The morning buffet was great and the view in the morning was lovely.

It's a very place where you can feel serenity but it's really a pity that the staff, except the kitchen staff, is so cold...just de courtesy pauses, no warm in their words, they really don't care, they're not even professionals...à lot to learn

Lake Burunge Tented Camp was a truly amazing experience from start to finish. We were greeted on the beautiful grounds with welcome drinks and cookies at a reception that overlooks the beautiful grounds with lots of wildlife. The infinity pool is so clean and inviting with lots of lounge chairs surrounding it that were a great setup for the happy hour they hosted from 6-7. Not only were we served drinks, we also had a selection of small appetizer plates that the hotel had offered. Our lodge itself was so spacious - we had an amazing porch that overlooked the area with lots of wildlife and an amazing sunrise. We loved the dinner and breakfast buffets as well - such a good selection of fresh pastries, fresh juices, and someone that was on staff making omelettes and pancakes! We absolutely loved our stay and we cannot wait to recommend Lake Burunge Tented Camp to all of our friends and family that want to visit Tanzania in the future!…

We stayed at this lodge for only one night during our safari, and we loved it. The tent/bungalow was better than many hotels in the city, everything well thought for the guest needs. Elephants, zebras and dik-diks were steps away. Very good dinner and breakfast. We want to retun one day.
