Distinctive elevated treehouse suites built around and into ancient baobab and marula trees, on a private concession bordering the park - giving a romantic, elevated perspective over the bush and access to walking and night drives not permitted inside the park.
Elewana Tarangire Treetops is one of East Africa's most original lodges, with stilted suites raised into the canopy and a giant baobab growing through the main lounge. Sitting on a private wildlife concession (the Randilen WMA) adjacent to Tarangire, it offers game drives, guided walks and night drives, plus visits to a nearby Maasai village. The combination of architecture, exclusivity and off-park activities places it firmly at the top tier.
