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.

Flamingos of Lake Manyara

The sight of thousands of rose-coloured flamingos at sunrise is a matchless, magnificent sight. Their presence cannot be guaranteed and is based on seasonality, but if your timing is fortuitous, this is an experience not to be forgotten. Wade slowly towards them in rubber boots or watch in wonder from the shore.

Massage therapy

Let your senses slip into sheer relaxation mode with our small yet sumptuous range of body treatments. Drift away into slumber as you are gently pampered in serene surroundings.

Maasai Blessing Ceremony

Join in a Maasai celebration as they weave the tapestry of their lives through song and dance. Be it a birth of a child, a wedding, or rite of passage, their traditional rituals make the Maasai culture one of the most vibrant world wide.

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.
