Best hotels in Tanzania

Kaskazi is named after the warm wind that blows through Zanzibar. It is also the name we gave to this place — because the feeling is the same. Warm, easy, and exactly right. The hotel sits on a cliff on Zanzibar’s southeast coast, in the village of Jambiani. 16 apartment suites, 2 superior suites with private pools and ocean views, and 14 double rooms — all designed for that moment when you walk in and think: yes, this is it.

The ocean is always close. From the pool, from the restaurant, from the rooftop bar at golden hour. The staff are warm without being stiff. The food is fresh, local, and genuinely good. And the two superior suites with private pools have the kind of view you will not get tired of. This is not a designer hotel. It is not a resort. It is the place your coolest friend would take you if they lived in Zanzibar.

Luxury and nature come together in a unique place in Tanzania. At Manyara’s Secret, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views over Lake Manyara, where elephants, monkeys, and tree-climbing lions roam close by. From the exclusive boutique lodge, you can experience the magic of Africa. There is so much to do: Watch hundreds of bird species from your private terrace, take a refreshing dip in your own plunge pool, end the day with a delightful dinner and unparalleled comfort and relax after an intense safari day with a massage in the spa.

Named after the Maasai word for leopard, life at Olkeri Camp is centred around wildlife. Situated right on Tarangire's border in the Randilen Wildlife Management Area, what makes Olkeri special isn't just the prime waterhole views or the fact you can walk straight from camp into elephant country – it's the freedom that comes with being outside park boundaries. Night drives, walking safaris, fly camping under the stars, and authentic Maasai meetings are all on the menu. Run by the excellent Entara, this is traditional bush camping done right, where ancient baobabs frame your breakfast and buffalo wander past your tent.

Set deep within a forest of ancient baobab trees, this intimate, solar-powered retreat invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and connect with the rhythm of nature. With just 10 luxury canvas tents, personalized service, and an atmosphere of barefoot elegance, you’ll experience Africa in its purest form.

Getting here means 27km of Tarangire before you even arrive, which tells you most of what you need to know. This is a premium tented lodge inside the park rather than out on its fringes, small enough that you will learn the names of everyone at the bar, and all-inclusive, so the bar is not something you have to think about. Canvas, timber and a great deal of glass, built with a light footprint and not preachy about it, and a wellness side taken more seriously than most safari lodges bother with. Couples, families and small groups all fit, though never many at once. Mornings belong to the elephants. Afternoons can be spent doing very little, at considerable length.

The Siringit Collection is expanding into Tarangire National Park in 2026! Known for its ancient baobab trees, and the highest density of elephants in the world, Tarangire is a dream destination for wildlife lovers. If you adore elephants, this is a place you simply can’t miss. And once you’ve had your fill of incredible elephant encounters, there’s still so much more waiting to be discovered.
