Activities
Chem Chem Safari Lodge offers a variety or wildlife excursions, ranging from tracking animals on foot on its private wildlife concession, a moonlit game drive, to a private guided safari through Tarangire, Manyara or Ngorongoro National Parks. Safari options are available for driven tours, guided walks and even hot air balloon rides.
If you would prefer to keep your feet firmly on the ground while still getting a flavour for the local way of life, your needs will be expertly catered for. At Chem Chem Safari Lodge you do not need to venture far from home to sample the African culture, or encounter an animal sighting. There are bush-cooking experiences available on site, guided walks and opportunities for track reading through the lodge’s private grounds, so guests can learn how to read footprints and animal waste. To truly get a feel for the local pace of life, guests may even take a leisurely jog with a massai warrior along the shore of Lake Manyara.
Others who crave a more restful experience will be spoilt for choice by the veritable programme of revitalising and relaxing treatments available at Chem Chem Amani Spa. And while all treatments are performed using the sumptuous, organic ILA product range, they can be given both in the lodge and in the open air, against the backdrop of the glowing African sunset.
A walk through the wildlife-concession’s Palm-Forest approaching giraffes. A chaperoned stroll around Lake Manyara observing the thousands of flamingos. A delicious private meal for two under the African sky. – Fabia and Nicolas and their team will personally take care of all these experiences as well as many others you won’t even expect.
Seasons
From December to March the temperature lays between 20-35°C and occasional thunderstorms can happen, it is called the “green season”. It is an excellent time to watch birds but as well to see the calving of the wilder beast and Zebras.
In April and May the big rains are expected and the lodge is closed
from 1 April to 14 May.
From June to October the temperature lays between 15-25°c. It is the so called “dry season”. An excellent time to watch animals gathering on waterholes and rivers on the search of water.
In November a small rain normally kicks in turning the dusty
savannah into a lush green one.
The Slow Safari Approach
The concept of Slow Safari was born at Chem Chem Safari Lodge. Key is the ethos of a safari as a tangible, sensual experience beyond the confines of a vehicle, where on foot guests can see, feel, touch and smell the African bush for themselves.
It’s easy to get caught up in the 4×4 rush hour in a fevered quest to spot the ‘Big Five’, however true safari aficionados understand it’s what you discover for, and sometimes about yourself outside the vehicle, that counts.
Slow Safari takes away the hectic qualities of safari but doesn’t remove the adventure and excitement: from gazing at an unfamiliar night sky to the magic of finding ancient cave paintings, these moments add a magical quality to your trip just as much as spotting a rhino or a herd of elephants – it’s all about slowing down and getting a new perspective on things.
“Slowing down to appreciate, stopping to explore, staying longer to discover and ultimately realizing that by relaxing one can find the heart and soul of a countrywhilst replenishing mind and body”.
Some of the experiences that are part of the Slow Safari ethos include walking safaris with a private guide in Chem Chem’s 4,000 hectare private, whilst activities such as, private sessions in track reading, picnics, visiting Maasai villages, and dining under the stars will be all about interaction and filling personal aspirations.
Of course as part of the Slow Safari, guests are welcome to sit and stare for hours
on end too with a glass of Pinot in hand, savouring Tanzania in wide-eyed amazement as it stretches out before them.
