About This Accommodation

Tarangire Simba Lodge is part of the Simba Portfolio and is a very good option for staying around Tarangire National Park. The lodge is located near Sangaiwe Gate in a wildlife rich area, with open views toward Lake Burunge. The setting feels very peaceful and natural, surrounded by the landscapes that make Tarangire so special.

One of the highlights of Tarangire Simba Lodge is the wildlife experience around the property itself. Elephants, giraffes, buffalo, zebra and other animals frequently move through the area, and during the dry season groups of elephants and other wildlife often come to the small waterhole in front of the lodge. This means you may be able to spot animals directly from your room, veranda or from the elevated viewing platform.

The lodge also has a large swimming pool with a sun deck, which is perfect after a full day of game drives. There is also a tree top viewing platform close to the pool where guests can relax, enjoy the scenery and watch wildlife passing through the surrounding area. The rooms are spacious safari style tents with private verandas, en suite bathrooms and views toward the bush and Lake Burunge.

What makes Tarangire Simba Lodge special is that you are not only staying close to Tarangire National Park, but you can still enjoy the safari atmosphere while you are at the lodge. You can relax by the pool, enjoy the scenic views, and sometimes watch elephants and other animals without even leaving the property. It gives you a good balance between comfort, wildlife and the feeling of being surrounded by nature.

    Great Tanzanian vacation

    We toured with Tanzania Safari Experience for an eight day trip to Tanzania. Five days of safari and then three days of beach vacation in Zanzibar. They were great to work with and customized everything exactly the way we wanted it. The lodges we were booked in were all incredible, particularly the Lahia Tented Lodge in the Serengeti. Our driver, Jay, seemed to know every road in every national park and as a result the wildlife viewing was unparalleled. There were times where we were the only vehicle seeing lions or hippos. The owner, Laurent, was extremely responsive and any issues we had in-country with our logistics were immediately sorted by him. He genuinely wanted us to have a first-rate experience. The only thing we were unprepared for is that some of the days in the safari vehicle were very long (10+ hours) and the roads can be really rough. But there were plenty of cold drinks in the car and it was worth it to see the wildlife. The safari/beach split was a great way to do the vacation and the beaches of Zanzibar were beautiful with clear blue water.

    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.
