From the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater to the beaches and spice-scented shores of Zanzibar, Tanzania delivers a richness and variety that defines the African travel experience.
Tanzania delivers some of Africa's most iconic travel experiences, where vast safari landscapes, extraordinary wildlife and the tropical shores of Zanzibar combine within a single, unforgettable destination. From the endless plains of the Serengeti to the white-sand beaches of the Indian Ocean, the country offers a scale and diversity that few others can match.
Wildlife remains central to Tanzania's appeal, with the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and a collection of world-renowned national parks supporting some of the greatest concentrations of animals on the continent. Annual migrations, dramatic landscapes and exceptional game viewing have helped establish the country as one of Africa's premier safari destinations.
Beyond the wilderness, Zanzibar introduces an entirely different rhythm, where spice plantations, historic Stone Town and idyllic beaches provide a natural complement to the adventure of safari. Across Tanzania, luxury lodges, tented camps, island retreats and beachfront resorts create remarkable opportunities to experience a destination that effortlessly combines wildlife, culture and coastal beauty.
Hidden within an ancient acacia forest bordering Tarangire National Park, Forest Chem Chem offers an exclusive-use safari where privacy, family adventures and remarkable wildlife take centre stage. Occupying a secluded corner of the protected Chem Chem wilderness, the camp is surrounded by towering baobabs, open grasslands and seasonal wetlands that support one of northern Tanzania's richest wildlife corridors. Designed exclusively for families and groups travelling together, every stay unfolds entirely at your own pace with the freedom to explore one of East Africa's most rewarding safari landscapes.

Baobab bush dinners beneath ancient trees, interactive open-fire cooking with the chefs and leisurely family-style lunches encourage guests to gather together and enjoy the slower rhythm that defines Forest Chem Chem. Safari Experience Every booking includes a private guide and dedicated safari vehicle, allowing complete flexibility throughout your stay. Game drives explore both the protected Chem Chem wilderness and neighbouring Tarangire National Park, where large elephant herds, lion, leopard, buffalo, giraffe and abundant plains game thrive across a remarkably diverse landscape. The surrounding wilderness has become particularly renowned for its magnificent Big Tusker elephants, whose enormous ivory tusks make every encounter unforgettable. With private guiding and unrestricted time at sightings, guests are free to observe these remarkable animals without feeling hurried. Night drives reveal another side of the bush as nocturnal wildlife emerges after sunset, while photography hides overlooking busy waterholes provide exceptional opportunities to capture wildlife at close quarters. Elevated amongst the branches of an ancient baobab, the camp's lookout deck offers one of the region's most memorable sundowner settings as the wilderness gradually comes alive after dark. Beyond traditional safaris, guests can visit Maasai villages and Barabaig communities, enjoy scenic helicopter flights, drift silently above the plains on a hot air balloon safari or simply spend time together around the campfire.

Wildlife & Seasons The protected Chem Chem wilderness forms part of the vital wildlife corridor linking Tarangire and Lake Manyara National Parks, allowing animals to move naturally between these celebrated ecosystems. Wildlife viewing remains rewarding throughout the year, while the dry season concentrates game around permanent water and the green season transforms the surrounding woodland into a vibrant landscape alive with birdlife and newborn animals. Wellness Between safari activities, guests can unwind beside the swimming pool, enjoy treatments in the dedicated spa tent or simply relax beneath the trees listening to the sounds of the surrounding wilderness. The peaceful woodland setting encourages guests to slow down and reconnect with both nature and each other. Location Forest Chem Chem occupies an exclusive protected wilderness bordering Tarangire National Park in northern Tanzania.
