Explore new horizons at our collection of luxury safari properties

At each one, an intentional experience underpinned by unparalleled privacy, refined hospitality and the spirit of adventure awaits.

Experience the extraordinary

A safari that embodies True. Wild. Free

The essence of safari is found in moments that are True. Wild. Free. It’s in the crisp morning breeze as the sun climbs the sky. The rush of adrenaline you feel watching wildebeests churn the Mara River’s murky waters during a crossing, and the joy of seeing carefree cubs at play. The songs of the people who have called this land home for millennia and the stories you share around the campfire.

Wild luxury redefined

Legendary Lodge, Auberge Safari

A sanctuary set within a sprawling coffee estate, Legendary Lodge is the perfect place to prepare for or reflect upon your safari. Its timeless aesthetic — a nod to its century-old heritage — and peaceful garden cottages invite much-needed moments of pause.

In this luxury Arusha lodge, your every comfort is considered, while the pool, spa and garden trails offer ample opportunity to unwind.

Chem Chem Lodge, Auberge Safari

Set amid the palm-dotted plains that define the western edge of the exclusive-use Burunge Wildlife Management Area, where the wilderness gives way to the waters of Lake Manyara, Chem Chem Lodge stands as a sanctuary of safari sophistication.

Here, canvas, stone, and thatch settle so naturally into the landscape you might almost miss them, connected by pebbled pathways and elevated wooden walkways winding through the dappled shade of palms and acacias. Here, the Slow Safari takes shape — where schedules dissolve, presence becomes the point, and every moment unfolds at your own pace.

Little Chem Chem, Auberge Safari

On the eastern edge of the Burunge Wildlife Management Area sits Little Chem Chem. Facing east over teeming plains, it’s known as the sunrise camp — the light here in the early morning is something worth waking for.

Little Chem Chem’s character is deliberately intimate and unhurried. The vintage safari aesthetic of canvas, lantern light, and the warmth of a campfire strips back anything unnecessary and puts the wilderness front and center. This is the Slow Safari at its most elemental: no performance, no crowds — just the rhythm of the bush and the space to be fully within it.

Forest Chem Chem, Auberge Safari

Tucked into a copse of acacias and fever trees, Forest Chem Chem is an exclusive-use camp that offers a fully private experience: it belongs entirely to your group from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave. No other guests. No shared spaces.

No itinerary that isn’t yours. Four vintage tents nestle within the forest, connected by sandy paths to a central area that feels less like a lodge and more like a gathering place — a pool that invites lingering, swinging daybeds, and a campfire that draws everyone in at the end of the day. Ancient trees frame ever-changing dining experiences, from beneath towering baobabs to platforms set high in the canopy. The energy here is vibrant and a little playful, shaped as much by the people who fill it as by the camp itself.

Mwiba Lodge, Auberge Safari

Elevated among the towering granite boulders of an ancient outcrop, our flagship Mwiba Lodge flows from one viewpoint to the next, and its pared-back design echoes the raw beauty of its wild surrounds.

Here, quiet luxury is infused into every space, from the spacious tented suites and serene wilderness spa to the infinity pool and Jacuzzi overlooking the wild landscape.

Mwiba Plains, Auberge Safari

Within the emerald grasslands of the exclusive-use Greater Mwiba Protected Wildlife Area, the scale of the wilderness announces itself immediately — vast and alive with movement.
‍

This is the heart of the Great Migration's ancient calving grounds, where newborn wildebeest calves take their first unsteady steps in their thousands each season. An explorer’s refuge in the heart of the action, Mwiba Plains sits lightly against the landscape, offering an experience as unscripted as the surrounding wilderness.

Mila, Auberge Safari

Positioned at the edge of teeming savannas, Mila’s design invites nature to take center stage. The remoteness of its setting lends this luxury safari camp a profound sense of privacy, amplified by secluded al fresco dining and generously spaced tented rooms.

Here, luxury is rooted in nature, with warm earth tones, natural textures, and thoughtfully placed antique touches that nod to the romance of early safari days.

Nyasi, Auberge Safari

Your gateway to the northern Serengeti’s most iconic sights, Nyasi’s secluded setting in the Lamai Wedge of the Serengeti feels sheltered from the bustle of the park’s busier regions.

Dispersed among the acacias and connected by winding grass-framed pathways, Nyasi is more an extension of the wilderness that envelops it. Echoing the colors and textures of the land, the luxury safari camp’s design cultivates a closer connection to nature without compromising comfort.

Songa, Auberge Safari

Our signature migrational camp, Songa offers the best of both worlds when it comes to luxury safari accommodation: a scenic perch amid rolling hills in the northern Serengeti just a short drive from the Mara River, and a coveted spot in the heart of the short grass plains of the south where the herds gather for calving season.

Designed to be the perfect base for your adventures, Songa’s style is reminiscent of classic explorer-style safari camps, where nature and comfort converge.
