Sunrise Hill Climb

There is a serene beauty to the landscape at dawn. Climb the hills between the two sides of the concession and gaze out across the vastness of the land we work to protect.

Scenic helicopter excursions

Feel the thrill of skimming above this vast East African wilderness with its incredible landscape. A selection of scenic flights can be booked, allowing you the chance to explore otherwise unreachable destinations. See the Ngorongoro Crater from above, view flamingos from the air, or simply book the chopper as your private transfer between lodges and camps.

From learning bush skills from Maasai warriors and discovering new cultures to interactive cooking in camp and encountering wildlife – children have the chance to create unforgettable memories on safari. Children 8 years and older are welcome at Little Chem Chem, children 4 years and older are welcome at Chem Chem Lodge, and children of all ages are welcome at Forest Chem Chem.

Hot Air Ballooning

Rise before dawn and glide over the tops of ancient baobab trees as the world wakes up below. Watch from the air as the sun catches elephant herds, antelope, zebra and lion and enjoy a rustic bush breakfast at the end of your flight.

Game Drives at Chem Chem

Discover the wildlife from a 4x4 Land Rover with one of our expert guides. With between 5 to 8 passengers only, all of the same group, it’s just you and the wilderness. Keep your eyes open for elephant, lion, leopard, cheetah, giraffe, zebra, and so much more…

Visit the local schools

Spend time with children at one of the schools supported by Chem Chem Association. Join in on an impromptu soccer game, or share some African songs. Learn from them as they learn from you.

Night game drives

Experience the thrill of discovering nocturnal animals in their natural habitat from the safety of an open 4x4. Cosy up under a blanket and learn from our experienced guides as you immerse yourself in a world that moves under the moonlight.

Day trip to Tarangire National Park

Discover the vast elephant herds and huge baobabs of the breathtaking Tarangire National Park. Choose either a full or half-day excursion, including a picnic breakfast or lunch at a private site.

Roam with big tuskers

Over time, both trust and respect are built between human and wild animal. Chem Chem, a safe haven with good food and water, offers exceptional viewing of the magnificent big tuskers that call the concession home.

Expand your cultural horizons

Immerse yourself in tribal culture and share authentic experiences and stories. At the Maasai boma, meet Chief Choroko and some of his wives. Or gain a rare glimpse into the lifestyle of the Barabaig tribe. A vivid and transformative encounter for any visitor.

Track Wildlife on Foot

Follow in the footsteps of one our field guides on a quest to recognise and track wildlife on foot, often allowing the chance to come within 15 metres of some of nature’s most majestic creatures. Hear them, see them, smell them.

Tree Climbing Lions
