Overview
With 20,000 hectares (55,000 acres) of untainted African Bush, the Chem Chem – Burunge Wildlife Management Area (WMA) protects an invaluable migration corridor between the ancient landscape of Tarangire National Park and the tranquil waters of Lake Manyara National Park.
With Lake Burunge, the Babati mountain range, and the hills of the Tarangire in the distance, Little Chem Chem is home to early morning displays of glory, and is aptly named “the sunrise camp.” The 5 vintage tents have a large bedroom, a vanity area with a dressing room, and an en-suite bathroom with an indoor and outdoor shower. All the rooms overlook the plains in front of the lodge where antelope, zebra, and the great Tarangire Tusker elephants often frequent.
