Tanzania<\/a> is certainly not a simple destination to sum up. From far-reaching savannahs sprinkled with wildlife and white sand beaches to some of the world\u2019s most awe-inspiring scenery and even forests filled with chimpanzees, there\u2019s truly a bit of everything.<\/p>\n

Now that you\u2019ve fallen in love with everything this stupendous country has to offer, it\u2019s time to figure out just where to stay in Tanzania. The options are as varied and wonderful as the locations themselves! We\u2019ve rounded up our favourite tents, lodges, and beach retreats to create a list of the best boutique hotels in Tanzania.<\/p>\n

Legendary Lodge<\/h2>\n

Arusha<\/em><\/p>\n

Arusha<\/a> is the gateway to Tanzania\u2019s<\/a> northern safari circuit, and you\u2019ll likely spend at least a night or two in this quaint city overlooked by Mount Meru. It might be a \u2018city\u2019 but this one is more about peaceful rivers and pretty old farms peppered with trees than skyscrapers.<\/p>\n

One of the classic Tanzania hotels, Legendary Lodge<\/a> is located on a coffee plantation and is the definition of charming with its lush gardens filled with frangipani and jacaranda trees. The luxury cottages all have King-sized beds and fireplaces, and there\u2019s even a spa for working out any travel woes with a massage. You can even enjoy a spot of croquet on the lawn if you\u2019re looking for something to do on a balmy afternoon! Arusha might be known as a stopover destination but we\u2019re pretty sure Legendary Lodge will make you wish you\u2019d stayed just a little longer.<\/p>\n

The Highlands Camp<\/h2>\n

The Ngorongoro Crater<\/em><\/p>\n

The Ngorongoro Crater<\/a> is one of Africa\u2019s Natural Wonders, and the crater, created by a volcanic explosion millions of years ago, really is something to behold. The scenery is jaw-dropping, but the fertile earth also makes it a haven for wildlife and there are animals as far as you can see.<\/p>\n

So, where to stay? The Highlands<\/a> might have a traditional name that\u2019s got you thinking of khaki safari tents, but actually, it looks like something from outer space – in the chicest possible way. Eight, igloo-like domes sit amongst the thick forest, each one packed with cowhide rugs, tartan blankets and a wood-burning stove to keep you toasty. At the three main area domes, there\u2019s a library packed with books, a bar serving funky cocktails, and a dining room for tasting local delicacies. Absolutely one of the best hotels in Tanzania, we\u2019d move in if we could!<\/p>\n

Singita Mara River Tented Camp<\/h2>\n

Serengeti<\/em><\/p>\n

Singita Mara River Tented Camp<\/a> is the kind of place that takes your traditional idea of camping and turns it on its head. There are no roll mats or soggy campfires here and instead, you can expect chic tents that blend canvas, wood and linen, all located in the northernmost corner of the Serengeti<\/a> in the Lamai Triangle.<\/p>\n

Inside, there are huge beds with crisp, white bedding you\u2019ll want to take home, playful geometric artworks and gorgeous open-air bathtubs – what better way to take in views of the Mara River? A Singita staple, the dining options are also out of this world and the chefs are known for their modern African flavours. Head to the pool sala for a mezze board, or join your fellow safari-goers at the fire for snacks and tapas. This is the Great Outdoors, but in serious style.<\/p>\n

Pole Pole<\/h2>\n

Mafia Island<\/em><\/p>\n

Looking for a blissful island to escape the hubbub of life? Welcome to Mafia<\/a>. This picturesque island is home to all manner of beach hideaways and one of our favourites is Pole Pole<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is a place that redefines luxury holidays, Tanzania style: a beach-front location, a remote paradise to explore, and the warm waters of the Indian Ocean never far away. There\u2019s not a sniff of pretension here and the lodge is made simply from wood and thatch.<\/p>\n

The beach bungalows are private and serene and perfect for whiling a day away in, but there\u2019s also an island bar to sit back and relax with a cocktail or two, as well as plenty of daybeds scattered around. If you can peel yourself off you lounger, most activities are centred around the ocean – and there are plenty to choose from. Mafia is also a mecca for divers and if you get your timings right you can swim with whale sharks<\/a>, the gentle giants of the ocean. This one\u2019s earned its spot as one of the best boutique hotels in Tanzania.<\/p>\n

Jabali Ridge<\/h2>\n

Ruaha National Park<\/em><\/p>\n

If you want to see all the wild charm that Tanzania<\/a> has to offer, Ruaha National Park<\/a> is the place. The area\u2019s remoteness means very few tourists and lots (and lots) of game viewing.<\/p>\n

Did you know that Ruaha is home to the largest elephant population in Tanzania, and almost 10% of the world\u2019s lions? In the midst of it all is Jabali Ridge<\/a>, a chic and stylish safari camp that answers the call for luxury hotels in Tanzania.<\/p>\n

Strikingly-beautiful from the outside, the rooms are carved from the boulders of the Ruaha landscape, and all the rooms are angled to make the most of the views across the wilderness, particularly striking at sunset when they\u2019re bathed in that warm African light. The sleek interiors have all the mod cons you could wish for and there\u2019s also a spa and an infinity pool to laze by between adventures, romantic dinners amongst the breathtaking landscapes, and picnics out in the wild to complete this incredible safari experience.<\/p>\n

&Beyond Lake Manyara Tree Lodge<\/h2>\n

Lake Manyara National Park<\/em><\/p>\n

Lake Manyara National Park<\/a> is petite by Tanzanian standards, but it still manages to pack in a host of astounding landscapes, Big Five wildlife-viewing, tree-climbing lions, more birds than you can shake a stick at (over 400 species to be precise) and those famous flamboyances of flamingos too!<\/p>\n

Now that we\u2019ve sold you on the area, make your way to the treetop haven that is &Beyond Lake Manyara Tree Lodge<\/a>. It\u2019s the only lodge inside the park and perched high in the trees, amongst the lush green foliage and chattering birds, the chalets are sure to fulfil your every childhood treehouse fantasy.<\/p>\n

Wake to the sounds of the swishing trees around the thatched roof, and then fall into the bathtub to admire your surroundings a little more. The cosy communal spaces will beckon to you after a busy morning spent in the bush and there\u2019s a pool to idle by with a good book, a cushy lounge to curl up in and a boma with a crackling fire to gather around.<\/p>\n

Chem Chem Lodge<\/h2>\n

Tarangire National Park<\/em><\/p>\n

Chem Chem Lodge<\/a> is the personification of a chic, boutique Tanzanian safari stay. Step inside your room and you\u2019ll be welcomed by beds piled high with sumptuous linens, an opulent ensuite bathroom with both indoor and outdoor showers and a deep tub for soaking in, and a stylish dressing room and writing desk.<\/p>\n

The luxuries of the tents are reflected throughout the lodge, with plenty of plump, neutral-hued sofas begging for you to flop down in, coffee table tomes and stylishly distressed furniture scattered around. To top it all off, Chem Chem specialises in crafting unique, once-in-a-lifetime guest experiences like hot air balloon safaris, running with the local Maasai, walking safaris, private dining experiences and getting involved with local conservation projects \u2013 and that\u2019s on top of the fabulous game drives. We\u2019d call that one of the best boutique hotels in Tanzania…<\/span><\/p>\n

Fundu Lagoon<\/h2>\n

Pemba Island<\/em><\/p>\n

A beach escape away from the crowds, Pemba<\/a> is the destination for those in the know, and for accommodation, few places appeal more than the boutique barefoot luxury of Fundu Lagoon<\/a>. A Robinson Crusoe-style haven, the lodge\u2019s wooden frame and thatched roof allow it to blend perfectly into the island forest, adding to the allure and its position as one of the best boutique hotels in Tanzania\u2026<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also the place to be for divers in search of exciting underwater finds – Pemba has long been a favourite for those who enjoy life under the sea – and Fundu is perfectly set up to help you discover the turquoise waters.<\/p>\n

For those who don\u2019t want to get quite so wet, there are sunset cruises, fishing trips, and kayaking adventures amongst the mangroves, not to mention sun loungers in every corner and a team at the spa, waiting to iron out any kinks. So that\u2019s something for those who want to recharge and something for those whose activity mode is firmly set to \u2018explore\u2019. Ideal.<\/p>\n

Greystoke Mahale Camp<\/h2>\n

Mahale Mountains<\/em><\/p>\n

Set deep in the Mahale Mountains<\/a> and far, far away from real life, Greystoke Mahale Camp<\/a> is a place like no other. Blissfully wild and remote, the distinctive \u2018winged\u2019 camp is surrounded by forest and perched on the edge of Lake Tanganyika.<\/p>\n

You might be lakeside, but you\u2019ll feel as though you\u2019ve landed on a fairytale island with powdery white beaches, candlelit dinners by the lapping water, and sunset dhow trips. And whilst the setting is already incredible, there\u2019s even more hiding under the surface – and that\u2019s the activities.<\/p>\n

Kayak across the lake towards the Congo at sunrise, walk the forest trails and learn about the medicinal uses of the plants and of course, trek to find the troops of chimpanzees that hide in the trees. Seeing chimps in their natural habitat is an experience of a lifetime, and alongside the experts at Greystoke Mahale, this is the place to do it.<\/p>\n

Kilindi Zanzibar<\/h2>\n

Zanzibar<\/em><\/p>\n

Sitting pretty just 35 kilometres off the coast of Tanzania<\/a>, Zanzibar<\/a> is a heady blend of beach getaway, history, spice-scented streets, and adventure. And what better place to stay than Kilindi<\/a>, a Middle Eastern-inspired property that speaks to the island\u2019s history and grounds you in the culture that permeates Zanzibar.<\/p>\n

The chic design of the rooms will immediately relax you and is almost guaranteed (along with the nearby lapping waves), to send you into a blissful sleep every night. And whilst the design might be simple and stunning, the service and luxury extras are anything but.<\/p>\n

One of the best boutique hotels in Tanzania, every pavilion can expect a private butler, two private plunge pools, and views that will make it almost impossible to leave. Then there\u2019s the exquisite food, tropical gardens, spa, direct access to a powder-white beach\u2026<\/p>\n

From all-singing, all-dancing camps in the midst of the wilderness to gentle luxury on the coast, the best boutique hotels in Tanzania have it all. No matter what you choose to do with your time, be that epic game drives, treks through chimp-filled forests or a good helping of water sports, you\u2019ll return to world-class hospitality \u2013 always with a little something extra.
