Our stay at Chem Chem could not have been more magical. Our trip to Africa would not have been the same without our experience here. The location/activites, the decor, the food, the staff - everything was outstanding. They catered too our every wish including spending time with local Masai warriors, contributing to the community and special food requests for our... More

A lot of very positive reviews have already been written about Chem Chem so the lodge’s excellent food, service, accommodations and wildlife are already well documented. We spent 2.5 weeks in the northeast section of Tanzania staying in many first rate places (we chose our lodges after much careful research) but Chem Chem was far and away the nicest place... More

My teenage daughter and I just returned from our second African safari. To us this place was the best out of seven camps we have stayed at. The service, the food (easily the top), layout/design/decor, the personal attention were superior - and to me this can all be explained that the owners (Nicholas and Fabia) are there and they really...

Nicolas and Fabia built this lodge two years ago with the idea of ​​preserving the surrounding nature, so every building - made of wood and stone - fits seamlessly into the surrounding environment. Just arrived in Africa we had lunch with a view of giraffes, warth hogs, monkeys and dik dik within walking distance from us. Quality of food and... More

Chem Chem is utterly incredible. Fabia and Nicolas (the owners) have thought of absolutely everything for a luxurious, yet authentic, safari lodge. Lizzie will greet you with a smile, and Ryan will teach you more about the region and its resident animals than you can imagine. They made us feel like we were their single most important guests, tending to... More
