Search cabins in Tarangire National Park

Well what can I say, Elephant Lodge is fantastic. It is actually nicer than the pictures, even though the pictures are pretty spectacular. The location is brilliant - it is a few minutes drive from the entrance to Tarangire National Park. You do have to pay a fee for staying in the conservation area but that is a Government fee, not a hotel fee, and it's not a prohibitive cost. The accommodation was beautiful with a lovely rooftop terrace. The food was delicious and really well presented. The gym has everything you would need for a workout and the swimming pool was gorgeous. The Manager is a big hearted, funny and charming chap with an interest in conservation and luxury tourism and one foot firmly in both camps, and he does a great job of combining both. He is very present in order to ensure guests have the best experience. His team of staff are exceptional. Guests are allocated one main person to look after them and it works really well (Lillian was our person - and she was so lovely, cheerful, accommodating attentive without being intrusive.) The watering hole is right next main area of the accommodation and is frequently visited by elephants and other animals (as the name suggests). All of our party loved it and would go back in a heartbeat. It made a fantastic trip extra special. Thank you for the memories, we will never forget it.

Truly unique opportunity to live, learn and dance with the Maasai. Treat and care for you like family. Enjoyed the nature walk with the warriors who taught us about medicinal plants, house construction and customs. The food is really good, they are very accommodating and kind. The best lodging experience will return.

Nice place with nice staff. Little gifts were a nice touch.

We booked two rooms. The rooms had a lot of space and a sitting room. Felt very fancy. Bottled water available for drinking or brushing teeth. Dinner dancing/singing. Nice breakfast with many choices.

The lodge is a luxurious "camp" site in a Wildlife Management Area that would probably be fine to visit if booked indirectly through a tour operator. Unfortunately it seems to have affiliated with a scammy of agency in Arusha which misinforms customers about its actual location.
