Tarangire Treetops is located on Masaai land in the Randilen Wildlife Management Area, one hour's drive north-...
... east of the eastern boundary of Tanzania's Tarangire National Park.
Tarangire Treetops is the sister lodge to Migration Camp, The Manor and Arusha Coffee Lodge, and offers similarly high standards of service, style and luxury. While the lodge is open year-round, the fruits of its marula trees attract elephants from July to September, making this a particularly exciting time to visit.
Each of the 20 rooms or treehouses at Tarangire Treetops is perched in or near a tree, some in marula trees and some in baobabs. The tree houses are raised several metres above ground level on stilts, with tree branches and trunks growing through some of them. Rooms #3, #8, #9, #10 and #15 are notably higher, so if you want to experience a real treehouse vibe, choose one of these. Rooms #6 and #19 have baobab branches growing right through the rooms, so are a little more airy and atmospheric. From their elevated positions, the mesh-fronted rooms and wrap-around decks offer impressive views across the surrounding bush. Depending on outlook, each room has either beautiful sunrise or sunset views. Each room can accommodate up to three adults, however at present no specific family options exist.
The treehouses are accessed by a steep set of wooden stairs, bringing you up on to a wooden deck overlooking the area. Inside, all the spacious rooms are similar in style, featuring reclaimed dhow wood, polished floors and either a twin or king-size bed with crisp linen and forest-green throws. There's a small seating area and coffee table immediately as you enter and a writing desk with hairdryer behind the bed. The large bathroom is at the back of the room, with a flush toilet, twin wash basins and a twin shower; all are of a high quality.
The treehouses are spread far apart and down a hill, and it can be a fair walk to some of the furthest rooms.
The reception area at Tarangire Treetops is set atop a broad wooden deck and wraps around a vast and very impressive baobab tree, estimated at around 1,000 years old!. A small curio shop sits behind, selling products such as baskets, beaded jewellery and T-shirts, as well as essentials like toothpaste and suncream. From here, the deck continues to the open-sided lounge and restaurant area, which features a sunken firepit, all set under cool thatch.
Reclaimed dhow wood, neutral tones and striking African art create a simple and natural, yet very stylish feel. There are plenty of comfortable sofas and chairs here, creating a perfect place to sit with a drink and watch the waterhole below. This is a hugely popular spot for elephants in the dry season, which makes for some captivating viewing.
Wooden steps lead down to a lower-level deck, where there is a swimming pool with sunloungers facing out over the surrounding bush. This is a pleasant location for dinner when the weather is fine—and the birdwatching around the pool is wonderful. Below the pool is a floodlit waterhole which attracts game both day and night.
Towards the back of the lodge is an outside dining area, designed in the style of a traditional Maasai manyatta, where evening barbecues are frequently held under the stars. The main areas are serviced from 6.00am to 11.00pm, so there is always someone on hand between these times to assist with any requests.
Due to the lodge's location in a village-controlled wildlife management area, they try to maintain a good relationship with the village nearby and support it in various ways. In addition, they like to introduce some of the Maasai culture to guests staying at the lodge. Guests will typically get to experience a display of Maasai dancing during dinner, by men and women from the village, at one point during their stay.
Many of our travellers who come here will arrive with their own professional guide and vehicle. However, for those who fly in, Tarangire Treetops is around one hour's drive outside the national park and the lodge can organise activities with their own vehicles and guides. The usual 4WD daytime safari drives are augmented by night drives and walking safaris. When we last checked these both cost US$75 per person. This is typically paid to the lodge on arrival, and we're told it is used towards conservation. For US$15 per person it is also possible to visit one of the local Maasai boma’s and get a flavour of their life and culture. To guarantee these additional activities it's best to arrange them in advance, so please let us know if you would like to do this.
As the lodge lies outside Tarangire National Park, guests would normally drive into its busier northern side for most game-viewing activities; either through the main entrance gate at the north of the park or via the Boundary Hill gate, leading from the Wildlife Management Area in to Tarangire. One interesting possibility would be to use Treetops for a one- or two-night stop on the way from Arusha to one of the camps deeper into the south of the park – as part of a three- or four-night exploration of Tarangire.

- Food quality
- Over the years we have found the food at Tarangire Treetops to be tasty and well-presented, complemented by great service. Dining can take place in a range of locations, such as the main dining area, the Maasai boma or beside the swimming pool.
Breakfast is a buffet of fruit, cereals, yoghurt and bread with fresh fruit juice, tea and coffee. You can also order a full cooked breakfast from the waiter.
You may choose to take a packed lunch to eat out in the bush, which could include items like sandwiches, barbecued chicken, samosas and a salad, plus some fruit. Or you can return to the lodge for a light three-course lunch. On a recent visit we had spinach and feta samosas as a starter. A selection of main courses ranges from spiced pork chops, beef and onion ciabatta served with salad, chicken and mushroom pie served with fries and salad, aubergine parmigiana or spaghetti with salsa Verdi. Desert was a light fruit salad.
Dinner at Tarangire Treetops is a set three-course meal. On our last visit, we had dinner in the boma accompanied by Maasai dancers. The starter was tomato and aubergine soup, followed by a buffet which had a selection of salads, rice, vegetables and tomato lentils, a fish curry, chicken skewers, pork chops and boerewors sausage. - Dining style

Sustainability
A two-way community support programme
At Tarangire Treetops, existing in harmony with locals and preserving the environment for all to enjoy is at the heart of the lodge’s philosophy. As part of the Elewana Collection - the Kiswahili word for ‘harmony’ and ‘understanding’-Tarangire Treetops embraces the responsibility of making sure local communities live in harmony with the natural surroundings, thus carrying on the legacy of a company whereby social values are embedded in each action.
Treetops’s partnership with Randilen - a private Wildlife Management Area (WMA) bordering Tarangire National Park and in which the lodge is located, is done with a twofold intention. Whereas the local communities benefit financially from the lodge’s support, Treetops ensures that wildlife is protected and ecotourism can thrive in the region. To achieve this mission, donations go towards crop protection, supporting education as well as healthcare clinics. Furthermore, the lodge directs some of the donations to improve pasture land for the cattle, which is increasingly scarce as Maasai people see cows as a proof of their wealth and a way to improve their status in the community.
Tourists can help the lodge support the WMA simply by choosing to stay at Tarangire Treetops, and therefore contribute towards making locals realize the importance of preserving this area for future generations.
