Today’s Best Tanzania

Resort Experience

Chem Chem Lodge

Chem Chem Lodge offers an exclusive luxury safari experience in northern Tanzania, set within a private wildlife concession between Tarangire National Park and Lake Manyara. Known for its signature “Slow Safari” philosophy, the lodge encourages guests to experience the wilderness at a more considered pace, combining game drives, guided walks, cultural encounters and moments of complete stillness in the African bush. Elegant tented suites, refined dining, wellness experiences and sweeping views across the surrounding landscape create an atmosphere that is both sophisticated and deeply connected to nature.

Its position within an important wildlife corridor adds to the sense of immersion, with elephants and other species moving through the wider ecosystem. The lodge’s approach places equal emphasis on conservation, community engagement and meaningful travel, making it particularly appealing to guests looking for more than a traditional safari.

Chem Chem Lodge’s standing among Africa’s leading luxury safari properties was recognised at the World Travel Awards 2025, where it was named Africa’s Leading Luxury Safari Lodge 2025 and Tanzania’s Leading Luxury Safari Lodge 2025. These prestigious honours reinforce its reputation as one of Tanzania’s standout safari retreats, combining exceptional hospitality, privacy and conservation-led experiences in one of the country’s most remarkable wilderness settings.

Tanzania at the Table: Ten Restaurants Showing the Country’s Culinary Range

August 27, 2026
Tanzania’s restaurant scene is becoming increasingly difficult to define with a single cuisine. In Dar es Salaam, the Indian Ocean shapes everything from seafood restaurants to Mediterranean dining rooms and contemporary grills. In Arusha, restaurants reflect the city’s role as both an international safari gateway and a place with its own strong food culture. In Dodoma, the capital’s dining scene is growing alongside the city itself, while across the country international influences increasingly sit alongside Swahili flavours rather than replacing them.

Tanzania Through Its Hotels: From Stone Town Heritage to Safari Gateways and Coastal City Icons

Tanzania’s hotel landscape tells a very different story from its resort scene. While Zanzibar’s beachfront resorts are often built around seclusion, villas and all-inclusive living, the country’s leading hotels tend to sit closer to the movement of the destination itself. They occupy historic districts, business capitals, safari gateways and city centres, giving travellers a stronger connection to the places they are passing through.

Tanzania’s Resort Renaissance: Ten Distinctive Escapes Shaping Zanzibar’s Luxury Coast

August 27, 2026
Tanzania may be globally associated with the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Mount Kilimanjaro, but beyond the safari circuit another side of the country has developed into an increasingly sophisticated travel proposition. Across Zanzibar, a new generation of resorts is demonstrating that an Indian Ocean holiday can offer considerably more than white sand and warm water.
