Your dedicated guide and private vehicle are at your group's disposal throughout the day and are included in your stay. Explore Chem Chem's exclusive-use protected wildlife area entirely on your own terms, with every sighting to yourselves.

Meals at Forest Chem Chem are an event in themselves. Open-fire cooking, canapés served from the camp's kitchens and the extraordinary forest setting make every shared meal feel like a celebration. The chefs take their cues from your group's tastes and dietary needs, so meals are completely personalized for you.

Stories, sundowners, and the sounds of the African bush are an intrinsic part of your Forest Chem Chem stay. As the forest darkens and the nocturnal world begins to stir, the campfire draws your group together in one of the most consistently wonderful parts of any exclusive safari experience.

Forest Chem Chem has its own pool and spa tucked within the woodland that are as private and unhurried as the camp itself. Treatments can be timed entirely around your group's rhythm and can be brought directly to your tent.

Elevated among ancient branches, the baobab lookout deck overlooks a waterhole that draws resident wildlife as the day cools. This is a perfect group sundowner spot, with the forest stretching out below and the sky shifting overhead.

After sundowners, set out into the forest with your guide as the nocturnal world comes alive.

Animal tracking, bush skills, interactive cooking, marshmallow toasting, beading with the Maasai, safari baking — there’s plenty to capture young imaginations at Forest Chem Chem. Children of all ages are welcome, and they must be accompanied by a parent or guardian during safari activities.

The conservation work within Chem Chem’s protected wildlife area has created a genuine sanctuary for the region's iconic Big Tusker elephants. Encounters here — private, unhurried and often extraordinarily close — are among the defining moments of any safari.

The Manyara region is known for its tree-climbing lions, and the forest at Forest Chem Chem is no exception. Keep an eye on the branches — these lions have long since discovered the advantages of the view from above.

Just beyond the borders of our exclusive-use area, Tarangire is home to enormous baobab trees and some of Tanzania's largest elephant herds. Take either a full or half-day excursion, depending on your preference.

Rise with the dawn and drift over ancient baobabs and open plains as the wildlife stirs below. End your mornings with a hearty bush breakfast in the wilderness. Please enquire with our reservations team to book.
