Each room at Chem Chem is an individual (huge) fixed tent with a spacious bathroom added on. All sides of the tent, look out in the plains of Africa. On top of the beautifully appointed room,...

Great owners, great staff, great food, great place, great rooms, great sceneries, great park next door. What is there there more to say? If you are heading to Tanzania, make it your main stop. If you are looking at Kenya or Sth Africa for a Safari, Just change your plans. You won't regret it. Fabia and Nicolas are real sweeties.... More

These 5 dream days in this incredible place were too short ... Breakfast with elephant, running with a "Massaï Coatch" across the dried up lake, sunddower with giraffes, ... Moment we will never forget and the dream to go back soon.
