Lobo Wildlife Lodge (N. Serengeti)
The Lobo Wildlife Lodge is a dramatically beautiful lodge built entirely from wood and glass amid the rough and ragged contours of an enormous rocky headland in the northern part of Serengeti National Park, and blends perfectly with its surroundings. From the swimming pool, which is carved out of the solid rock, to the bar, the lodge offers a breath-taking view over the plains and bushy savanna crossed by herds of buffalo and elephant. The location is great for the migration in October and November.

Tarangire Safari Lodge
The Tarangire Safari Lodge is built on top of a high bluff with a breathtaking panorama. The luxury twin tents combine the authentic safari atmosphere of "nights under canvas", with more modern comforts of electric lights and en-suite bathrooms with hot water.
All 35 tents have been recently refurbished. The thick canvas walls can be rolled up to expose netted windows. These allow you to enjoy the cool breeze and experience the bush all around you, without being exposed to the elements. There's also a swimming pool with a water slide.
