Our stay at Treetops was one of the highlights of our trip to Tanzania - staying here is highly recommended, and we will definitely come back on our next safari. In particular, following aspects stood out to us: Game Drives Upon our arrival, our guide Lenga picked us up from the air***** and welcomed us with some refreshments. Then we were immediately confronted with the beauty of Tarangire as we drove through it to the lodge. On the way we saw many animals including lions and elephants. Over the next days, Lenga took us on multiple game drives, night safaris and a walking safari through Tarangire. On the walking safari we were also joined by the Masai Warrior Mr. T who protected us and also did a great job explaining and showing us the smaller wildlife that might go unnoticed from the car. We really appreciated Lengas competence in explaining all the intricacies of the life of the animals and plants in the area. He was able to answer all of the many biology questions we asked. As Tarangire has some shrubs and hills and animals can easily hide, especially in the slightly more rainy season, Lengas ability to spot the animals even when they were so well hidden was invaluable. Service Everyone at the lodge was incredibly kind and welcoming to us. Upon arrival on the first day, we were warmly welcomed by manager Charles and all the staff. Peter took care of us around the clock and anticipated all our needs. Every day, Denis prepared us to the cocktail of the day and on one evening even took more than 1h of time to explain us the history and culture of Tanzania. Even though we were on the other side of the world they made us feel at home. Lodge & Room The lodge is nestled between the trees and in the main area there is a nice pool and a watering hole which is used by the animals so one can observe them while having a drink or dinner. In the evening they set up a small fire where guests can have smores. The rooms are built so one can see over the canopy. Ours was even built around a massive baobab tree. Our room was always very clean and well taken care of by Gift. She also took our washing every morning and returned it clean in the evening which allowed us to pack much less clothes. Every morning and evening we were escorted to our rooms by some Maasai guards to protect us from any animals. Food & Entertainment The food was really delicious. Both the packed breakfasts and lunches we had on the game drives as well as the hot meals at the lodge. When conditions are good they serve dinner under the stars which was very romantic. For New Year's Eve, Treetops organized a festive dinner outside, which was accompanied by an impressive cultural display of Maasai singing and dancing, which definitely gave us a great start into the new year!
