Home / Accommodation / Sangaiwe Tented Lodge

Sangaiwe Tented Lodge is located in one of the most scenic areas near Tarangire National Park. The lodge sits against a hillside overlooking the Tarangire savannah and Lake Burunge, offering peaceful surroundings and wide open views.

The lodge has 18 double tents, 2 family tents and 2 family cottages. The tents are built on elevated wooden platforms and include comfortable beds, private bathrooms and private terraces where guests can relax and enjoy the landscape.

Sangaiwe is one of our longtime favourite lodges because of its friendly service, fresh food, comfortable accommodation and refreshing swimming pool. Wildlife sometimes passes through the surrounding area, so guests may occasionally see elephants and other animals near the tents or while relaxing by the pool.

Early mornings are especially rewarding because many animals are more active during the cooler hours. This makes Sangaiwe a lovely place to begin the day before heading into Tarangire for a game drive.

Sangaiwe Tented Lodge is not located inside Tarangire National Park. It is situated just outside the park boundary within a community Wildlife Management Area overlooking Lake Burunge. The lodge is approximately five minutes from Sangaiwe Gate, making access to the national park fast and convenient.

It is a good choice for travellers who want comfortable tented accommodation, beautiful views and easy access to Tarangire National Park without staying inside the park.

    Safari May 2026

    This company exceeded everything we’d hoped for. From the start, the tour operator had everything covered — a detailed itinerary laid out well in advance, quick responses to any questions, and a genuine attentiveness that made the whole thing feel effortless. The accommodation was seriously impressive. Not what I was expecting at all — comfortable, well-appointed, and luxurious. We also spent time right in the heart of the bush. A proper treat. The two people who really made this trip were our guide Mariki and photographer Agnes. Mariki’s knowledge of the bush and animal behaviour is something else — he always seemed to know exactly where to go, and his instincts paid off every single time. Agnes has a brilliant eye and captured shots we could never have got ourselves. As for the wildlife — we saw far more than we ever imagined we would. Elephants, lions, leopard, buffalo, giraffe, zebra, hippos — the lot. As a first safari, I couldn’t have asked for more. Would recommend without hesitation.

    Great Experience with Tanzania Safari Experience

    We had an amazing safari with Tanzania Safari Experience, and honestly the whole trip was put together really well by Laurent and his team. From our first message to the last day, they were easy to reach, quick to reply, and clear about everything. The plan made sense, the timing was smooth, and we didn’t have to stress about anything. Uncle J was a big part of what made it special. He knows the parks incredibly well and seems to notice things before anyone else. He’d position the vehicle perfectly for photos and often got us to sightings before the crowds built up. We were lucky to see [your highlights: migration / lions / cheetahs / elephants / a crossing], and every drive felt exciting and different. The vehicle was comfortable and in good shape, and everything ran on schedule. If you’re looking for a well-organized safari with a great guide, I’d definitely recommend Tanzania Safari Experience.

    An absolutely brilliant tour / travel company

    What can I say. How do you explain PERFECTION. I will try. From the outset of our trip Ramadhan and Laurent were excellent. We gave them our requirements and budget and they prepared a program that was outstanding. The whole safari went like clockwork. We were met and briefed by Ramadhan on our arrival and introduced to our driver and guide extraordinar Ngoi. We visited Tarangier, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and the Ngorongoro Crater and Zanzibar. Absolutely brilliant trip, we saw the most extraordinary game. All the accommodation arranged for us was magnificent, especially the tented camps, where we were visited by a lion and elephant, scary but exhilarating. So if you are looking for an unforgettable experience look no further than Laurent and Ramadhan from Tanzania Safari Experience. They truly put clients first and foremost and deliver on their promises. Cheers from a very satisfied Chris and Terri Harvey
