Elewana Tarangire Treetops

Very good service despite slow response on email

The staff here were so friendly and kind. We were celebrating our honeymoon and they created a perfect candlelit dinner outside by a fire. The bed was massive and very comfy and the outdoor shower was a cool feature. Absolutely loved this stay in an amazing national park. Thank you Miss Loy and Rixon for looking after us so well.

An exquisite property with warm, professional service. The view from our spacious treehouse room was spectacular. Everything was catered for. The decor in the room and dining/lounge area is very stylish. The food was excellent and the chef flexible when we requested local dishes for dinner n our second night. The service was very professional. What we particularly liked was that the management allowed staff to be natural and themselves rather than formulaic. The property is about 20kms from the park so possibly further than other properties. However, it was well worth the journey and a fantastic way to end our holiday.

Our stay at Treetops was one of the highlights of our trip to Tanzania - staying here is highly recommended, and we will definitely come back on our next safari. In particular, following aspects stood out to us: Game Drives Upon our arrival, our guide Lenga picked us up from the airstrip and welcomed us with some refreshments. Then we were immediately confronted with the beauty of Tarangire as we drove through it to the lodge. On the way we saw many animals including lions and elephants. Over the next days, Lenga took us on multiple game drives, night safaris and a walking safari through Tarangire. On the walking safari we were also joined by the Masai Warrior Mr. T who protected us and also did a great job explaining and showing us the smaller wildlife that might go unnoticed from the car. We really appreciated Lengas competence in explaining all the intricacies of the life of the animals and plants in the area. He was able to answer all of the many biology questions we asked. As Tarangire has some shrubs and hills and animals can easily hide, especially in the slightly more rainy season, Lengas ability to spot the animals even when they were so well hidden was invaluable. Service Everyone at the lodge was incredibly kind and welcoming to us. Upon arrival on the first day, we were warmly welcomed by manager Charles and all the staff. Peter took care of us around the clock and anticipated all our needs. Every day, Denis prepared us to the cocktail of the day and on one evening even took more than 1h of time to explain us the history and culture of Tanzania. Even though we were on the other side of the world they made us feel at home. Lodge & Room The lodge is nestled between the trees and in the main area there is a nice pool and a watering hole which is used by the animals so one can observe them while having a drink or dinner. In the evening they set up a small fire where guests can have smores. The rooms are built so one can see over the canopy. Ours was even built around a massive baobab tree. Our room was always very clean and well taken care of by Gift. She also took our washing every morning and returned it clean in the evening which allowed us to pack much less clothes. Every morning and evening we were escorted to our rooms by some Maasai guards to protect us from any animals. Food & Entertainment The food was really delicious. Both the packed breakfasts and lunches we had on the game drives as well as the hot meals at the lodge. When conditions are good they serve dinner under the stars which was very romantic. For New Year's Eve, Treetops organized a festive dinner outside, which was accompanied by an impressive cultural display of Maasai singing and dancing, which definitely gave us a great start into the new year!

Our stay at Elewana Tarangire Treetops was magical! We were incredibly fortunate to see so many animals -- herds of elephants, towers of giraffes, hyena, bat eared foxes, oryx, wildabeast, buffalo, gazelle, a pride of lioness... While the animals were incredible, what made our stay truly special was the staff. Our guide, Justice, was incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He made the trip even more fun and exciting. The staff at the Treetops were incredibly welcoming and kind. One staff member was responsible for taking care of our family; this made asking questions, detailing allergies, and more easy and comfortable. In our case, Nicholas took care of our family -- he was very mindful of my sister's nut allergy during meal times going out of his way to make alterations accordingly, and he took extremely good care of my grandfather ("Babu"), joining him in his sarcastic humor. There were always warm hand towels when we entered camp, and in general, everything was extremely clean and nice. The views were beautiful. Would 10/10 recommend staying here!

The Tarangire Treetops Lodge may have been the best overall lodging lodging experience we have ever had. The lodge, the people and the surroundings were all exceptional. I wish we could have rated this place higher than a 5. The lodge is situated just outside Tarangire National Park and creates an atmosphere of peaceful relaxation amongst the incredible natural beauty. Each "room" is set apart from the main lodge and offer incredible views. The main lodge is very welcoming and we really enjoyed spending time there after our game drives. The people working at the Treetops were exceptional in friendliness and service. An example was the evening we did the night game drive. We had had a large late lunch and skipped dinner. We got back from the game drive and were met with smiles and hot chocolate (my wife is lactose intolerant and they made regular hot chocolate for me and used soy milk for my wife's hot chocolate). Even though we got back at 10:30pm, they asked if they could still make dinner for us. We declined, but really appreciated the offer. Even when we departed, we were walked out by several workers. I let one know that they did not need to do that but was told that it is a Swahili tradition. If you do not walk out with your guests, they may not return! We very highly recommend Tarangire Treetops for anyone who will be visiting Tarangire national Park.

Luxury in an unfenced lodge in the middle of the African wildness. We unfortunately stayed only 1 day, but loved every moment. The food was great, the staff was amazing, and the lodges as ours built on and around a baobab tree was a new and very positive experience. Our stay was at Christmas Day and while we enjoyed dinner, we were able to observe buffalos gather at the water hole and there was also a traditional Maasai cultural program. Thanks to Treetops I discovered Elewana and it became my favourite brand for East-Africa Safari. I am looking forward to our next one in Kenya and stayind in Elewana establishments there. Thanks to everybody at the lodge for making our short stay there such a delight. Asante Sana!

Nestled within Tanzania's lush landscape, Elewata Treetops Lodge offers a remarkable stay amidst the trees, providing an incredible view of the sprawling savannah from the comfort of your room. An enchanting candlelit dinner beneath the ancient baobab tree and a heartwarming dance with Maasai ladies added cultural depth to our experience. The waterpoint near the breakfast table provided a front-row seat to witness a mesmerizing sight—a herd of wild zebras arriving to drink. Our time at the lodge was one of our best experiences, leaving a lasting impression on us. The kids are already eager to return to this harmonious blend of luxury and nature. Elewata Treetops Lodge is an ideal spot for families and nature enthusiasts seeking an intimate connection with the African wilderness.

Absolutely amazing hotel and experience!!! We were staying there for 2 nights in the beginning of September and absolutely loved it. The hotel is located right in the Tarangire park and they have a water-point for animals right in front of the main lounge area, so you always see either zebras, or elephants or buffalos there. The staff of the hotel is very nice, friendly and helpful! The food was great! We also asked the chef to cook some local African dinner for us and it was delicious! The room was very clean and comfortable! We also got a walking and a night safari and it was great! We loved our stay at Treetops and I can highly recommend this hotel! I hope we will be able to come back there once again. Thank you Treetops!
