signature experiences

Scenic helicopter excursions

Feel the thrill as the vast African wilderness opens up before you on a scenic helicopter excursion. Explore otherwise unreachable destinations and see the region’s greatest sights from above — from the Ngorongoro Crater to the flocks of flamingos in the lakes. For more information, please enquire with our reservations team.

Kids on safari

From fun games to bush skills, we offer plenty of activities to entertain little ones on safari. The activities depend on the property and include guided walks, interactive cooking, marshmallow-toasting, animal tracking, beading lessons with the Maasai and safari-themed baking. For more information, please enquire with our reservations team.

Hot air balloon rides

Rise with the dawn and glide over the tops of acacias and ancient baobabs as the sun climbs the sky. Witness the region’s abundant wildlife wandering the landscape below before ending the experience with a rustic bush breakfast. For more information, please enquire with our reservations team.

Game drives with your private guide and vehicle

Your private guide and vehicle are primed to whisk you off on game drives into the heart of Chem Chem’s exclusive-use protected wildlife area at a moment’s notice. Explore the wilderness at your own pace, enjoying the abundant wildlife that roams the area. This experience is included in your stay.

Night drives

Immerse yourself in a world that comes alive under the moonlight with a night game drive. Trace the path of the spotlight as you set off with your private guide and vehicle to seek out the creatures that begin their day at sunset. This experience is included in your stay.

Tarangire National Park

Take a trip to Tarangire National Park, which borders our exclusive-use protected wildlife area. Here, you’ll discover a landscape home to enormous baobabs and vast herds of elephants. Choose from a full or half-day excursion, including a picnic breakfast or lunch. For more information, please enquire with our reservations team.

Big tusker encounters

Our tireless conservation work has turned our exclusive-use protected wildlife area into a haven for the iconic Big Tusker elephants. With your private guide and vehicle, you’ll have the rare opportunity to get close to these animals and spend time observing them. This is included in your stay.

Tree-climbing lions

The Manyara region is renowned for its tree-climbing lions. Having discovered the advantages of surveying their territories from above — and escaping the heat of the day — the lions at Chem Chem can often be found lounging on branches high up in the trees. This experience is included in your stay.

School visits

Promoting education and inspiring the future custodians of the land are integral parts of our efforts to empower our communities. Take a trip to the nearby Mdori Primary School to visit the students and see the work we’re doing to improve education. This is included in your stay.

Photography hides

With prime positions at the edge of two watering holes that teem with birds and wildlife, our photography hides are the perfect spots to snap showstopping wildlife shots. This experience is included in your stay.

Sundowners at the baobab lookout deck

Elevated among ancient branches, our baobab lookout deck makes for an unforgettable sundowner spot overlooking a local waterhole which attracts resident wildlife. Sip on your drink of choice and bid the day farewell as you watch the region’s nocturnal wildlife start to stir. This experience is included in your stay.

Ponya spa

Unwind in the serenity of the African wilderness and surrender yourself to the deft hands of our expert therapists and slip into a state of sheer relaxation as you indulge in our range of restorative spa treatments. For more information and our spa menu, please enquire with our reservations team.

Conservation hill climb
