Premier Eco-Lodges in Tanzania
Singita Sasakwa Lodge
The Serengeti-Mara ecosystem encompasses the Singita Grumeti Reserve, located adjacent to the Serengeti National Park. The reserve was created by the Tanzanian government in 1994 to protect the path of the annual Wildebeest Migration. The Grumeti Fund, a non-profit organization dedicated to vital initiatives for community and wildlife development, has been entrusted with the management of the reserve since 2002.
Chem Chem Lodge
Nestled between Tarangire and Lake Manyara National Parks, in a private concession, lies the luxurious and hidden gem of Chem Chem Lodge. The owners not only manage Chem Chem to ensure that guests enjoy personalized service, but they also possess a deep passion and admiration for the invaluable beauty of Tanzania’s natural environment.
Fundu Lagoon
Near the southwestern coast of Zanzibar lies Pemba Island, home to this charming resort. Fundu Lagoon, one of Tanzania’s premier coastal eco-lodges, features a breathtaking private beach and can only be accessed by boat. Fundu Lagoon was established in the late 1990s with a focus on minimizing environmental impact and utilizing local materials and artisans.
Since then, this eco-lodge in Tanzania has been leading the way in developing a sustainable ecotourism model that collaborates closely with local communities to enhance Pemba Island’s environmental management and conservation efforts.
