The welcome was very friendly. From the parking lot, however, it was only uphill. The staff took our suitcases all the way to the tent. The "tents" are fully equipped with shower and toilet and there is almost everything you need.
What there is not is a 220 volt power supply. Charging phones in the tent is not a problem, however, due to a small voltage transformer. Further devices could be charged without problems in the restaurant/reception.
Since I have to use an apnea device at night we were quickly relocated to a "house" for sleep in the evening. There were 220 volts. We found that this was made possible by the staff extremely helpful.
The food choices for breakfast and dinner we liked well and it was all very delicious. We were able to wrap the lunch package ourselves (so we would like to take a little more :-)).
From our tent we had a wonderful view of the NP - this also applies to the restaurant area.
The pool we could not use as we arrived too late. The next day we were very quickly back at the NP as the accommodation is "around the corner".
Wifi only possible in the restaurant area, speed was OK.

Great lodge right next to the entrance to Tarangire National Park! The individual wooden huts with tents on them are spread out over the grounds, simply furnished but with everything you need, a large bathroom area and good beds. Power charging in the rooms is only possible via USB and WiFi is only available in the restaurant. The lodge is on the hill and you have an amazing view of the valley, even better from the restaurant terrace. The food was very good and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

Arriving later than expected, we had barely 30 minutes to shower because we had to go to dinner around 7 p.m., mixed reception (apart from a waiter who was very smiling!)
However, the food was excellent but the meal was served too quickly.... we had the impression of being quickly chased from the table.
Spacious lodge with basic equipment, very good bedding but very dark.

Very nice accommodation with amazing views
The location near the Tarangire allows to hear some animals
Staff are attentive
However the pool was all green which is a shame. We would have liked to enjoy it after a day of safari.
The picnic boxes for the safari are a little light compared to the other hotels we made

We were four couples, and the tour company had reserved a tent for each couple. We and another couple were accommodated in a family accommodation that was of lower quality than the tents. With the exception of a few staff members, everyone was friendly, especially the people who took care of the luggage and the guide for the sunset were great!! If you can stay in one of the tents, I would definitely recommend it to friends, because the lodge is in a beautiful location.

We stayed here the night we visited Tarangire National Park. The location was perfect and although we were tired from long day of game viewing, our grandkids still jumped in the pool and had a swim, in spite of the fact the water's not heated. The dinner and breakfast were both nummy and the staff was so accomodating!

Great location, with friendly helpful staff, as for glamping the tented room was great. Our biggest concern been elderly, there was a lot of walking up and down dale on uneven paths. During dark hors you needed a guide from the restaurant and your room. Also wifi wasn’t available in the rooms plus no tea or coffee making function in the room due to relying on solar. Didn’t go hungry for dinner and breakfast

Tented lodge that enjoys an incredible view of the Tarangire park, the tents are on high palisades and allow you to enjoy them widely.
The staff is friendly and welcoming, the atmosphere suggestive.
Mosquito nets to cover the whole bed well, mosquito spray provided in each room.
Restaurant served, quality food.

During our safari, we slept in this location. Nothing to complain about, everything was good.

As usual, the staff is pleasant and smiling. The bedroom is large and spacious as well as the bathroom. In the evening and early in the morning, you must be accompanied by a member of staff. Dinner was excellent and we could get refills. The view of the savannah is very beautiful in the morning.

This is an off grid lodge, 100% solar. They do a very good job managing their power. We never had an issue and there was adequate lighting all night if needed. There was plenty of hot water for showers, even in the morning. There was adequate ventiliation in the unit and the views are outstanding. The staff are very friendly. The pool was nice, but cloudy. The restaurant was good and they had the best beer prices of all of the lodges we stayed at. The location is excellent, very close to a quieter park entrance. The only weak part was the lunch. The choices were slim.

Animals are rarely seen but you can hear them roaring from far... Given the position of the camp it is not easy for the animal to reach the top of the hill
