Set in a shaded grove, this fairly large lodge and tented camp combo offers affordable comfort a stone's throw from the impressive Tarangire National Park. Its simple layout and comfortable furniture create a welcoming warmth that is echoed by its friendly staff. Although the lodge’s decor is somewhat lacking in sophistication, it does possess a truly African feel and a homely atmosphere. With mesmerising lake views and the Tarangire National Park just 10 minutes away, over-the-top interiors aren't a necessary feature. The lodge also sits in the wildlife corridor between Lake Manyara and Tarangire so Migration season is a treat!

There are ten bungalows and 30 large, comfortable en-suite tents. All the rooms and tents have been built on raised wooden floors to maximise views of the camp’s surrounding beauty. The decor is truly African, with natural materials, fabrics adorned with local motifs, woven baskets and earthy hues. Iron four-poster beds with mosquito netting provide a refuge under which to sleep peacefully. The private veranda has scenic views of the lake, best enjoyed from one of the strategically placed directors’ deck chairs.
The sunset views over Lake Burunge with a G&T in hand and nowhere else to be. Happy hour indeed.
The camp sits within a wildlife corridor between Lake Manyara and Tarangire National Park, and a visit during migration season is well worth it.
Consider staying a night or two longer than planned to make the most of Burunge's peaceful environment in the midst of an otherwise action-packed safari.
The organisation supports various community projects, including the de-snaring project in the Serengeti, medical care solutions like the Olmoti Clinic in Western Kilimanjaro, and educational opportunities like the Emusoi Centre in Arusha. Additionally, initiatives like the Children’s Health Program in Nairobi and contributions to Wildlife Management Areas and Tanzania National Parks underscore their commitment to community well-being and environmental conservation.
