Kirurumu Under Canvas Tarangire Lodge is a tented lodge with 10 spacious tented rooms, situated on the northern border of Tarangire National Park. Since there is no fence between the lodge of the park, wildlife often roams very close to the lodge, even through it!
The tents are on a solid base and have a thatched roof over them. In fact you don't really feel like you're in a tent exactly, more like a room with canvas walls and windows with zips! This feeling is added to since the entrance to your tent is via a small verandah and a lockable glass sliding door. The en-suite bathroom is a solid structure too, with a proper basin, flush loo and hot shower. The beds are large and comfortable, with mozzy netting around them. You have lights in the tents, provided by solar and generator backup.
The lodge has a dining tent with waiter service, and a lounge/bar tent. There is also a fire place where pre and post-dinner drinks and chats tend to take place.
The food here is very good quality, and the staff are all very friendly and good-humoured. A team of Maasai look after your safety, walking you to and from your tent, and also offer fascinating ethobotanical walks giving an insight in the flora of the area and how it is used by the Maasai.
Guests staying at Kirurumu Tarangire Lodge can enjoy game drives in Tarangire national park, and take full day treks in the local area. Mountain bikes can be hired on request.
Kirurumu Tarangire Lodge is a great value, mid-range tented lodge with its heart in conservation as well as providing an excellent night under African skies.
