TANZANIA: Do you know the difference between CHEM CHEM LODGE and LITTLE CHEM CHEM? While both offer the elegance and privacy that you have come to expect from Chem Chem Safaris, the two experiences are worlds apart. We have compiled a COMPARISON DOCUMENT to give you a quick snapshot of these vastly contrasting experiences.
CHEM CHEM LODGE - A safari for the senses:
- Slow safari - connect with nature, enjoy the smells, sounds and soul of Africa within the Chem Chem Lodge concession on foot.
- Cultural insight - meet the Maasai people in their villages and schools.
- 4x4 safaris in Tarangire NP, returning to the tranquility of Chem Chem Lodge. There are no 4x4 safari activities on the Chem Chem Lodge concession.
LITTLE CHEM CHEM - Big game safari adjoining the Tarangire NP:
- Big game safari walks with a scout and armed professional guide on the Little Chem Chem Concession.
- Conservation safaris with the anti-poaching team on the concession.
- Day and night 4x4 safaris within the Little Chem Chem concession.
- 4x4 safaris with picnic lunch in Tarangire National Park.

Old Mondoro
About an hour east downstream by boat from sister camp Chiawa, Old Mondoro is located in the wonderfully open area of Faidherbia Forest. The camp is a far simpler affair that Chiawa yet the guiding levels, activity choice, service and excellent home-cooking remain are par. The comfortable rooms are strung out along a hippo-friendly channel off the Zambezi, enjoying great views with their half-height walls and small decks. Activities at Old Mondoro focus on game drives and boating, though the elephant and hippo activity around camp are enough to encourage a lodge-based safari! Tasty meals are served fireside or in the open-sided thatched dining room, and star-gazing in this remote spot makes a perfect pastime...
