One hour's drive north-east of Tarangire National Park's eastern boundary, Tarangire Treetops is located on Masaai land in the Lolkisale Concession Area. Perched in a stand of impressive baobabs, the 20 suites are raised on extraordinarily high stilts, literally in the treetops. From this elevated position, the gauze-fronted rooms and fabulous wrap-around decks afford incredible views across the surrounding bush. Inside, polished floors, crisp linen with forest green throws, simple furniture and serious twin showers are all high quality.
The sunken lounge, large dining area and beautiful baobab bar are under cool thatch, from where steps lead down to a small pool overlooking the waterhole: a hugely popular spot for elephants in the dry season.
Being outside the national park, Tarangire Treetops organises night drives and walking safaris in addition to the usual daytime safari drives.
