Kuro Treetops Lodge

The Heart of the Park Unlike its sister properties on the park’s outskirts, Kuro Treetops is situated deep within the park’s interior. Elevated atop Kopje Hill, it commands a prestigious vantage point over the Tarangire River and the wildlife-rich Silale Swamp to the west—famed for its year-round water supply and constant animal activity.

The Tactical Advantage:

• Central Hub: Its location deep inside the park minimizes transit time, putting you in the center of the action for early morning and late afternoon game drives.

180-Degree Immersion: Every suite is designed to offer an optimum 180-degree view, ensuring you remain connected to the ever-present wildlife even from the total privacy of your room.

The Tarangire Menagerie Living inside the park allows for seamless exploration of Tarangire’s most iconic regions:

• Silale Swamp: The lodge’s “front yard.” This massive wetland acts as a giant sponge, attracting thousands of elephants, buffalo, and predators year-round.
• Tarangire River: The park’s life-giving artery. Witness the dramatic dry-season concentration of wildlife as animals flock to the only permanent water source in the region.
• Matete Woodlands: An exquisite landscape of tall elephant grass and baobabs, widely considered the premier location for consistent leopard sightings.
• Burungi Circuit: An adventurous 50-mile loop offering a chance to see the shy Lesser Kudu and Africa’s largest antelope, the massive Eland.
• Lemiyon Triangle: The northern sanctuary where colossal, silvered baobab trees tower over the landscape, providing a hauntingly beautiful backdrop for photography.

Kitibong Hill: Home to magnificent, thickly-set buffalo herds and the elusive, mottled African Hunting Dog.

Whimsical Tree-House Suites There are only 25 marvelous tree-house suites, each built high among the gnarled branches of giant baobabs to ensure an intimate “Alice in Wonderland” experience.

The Guest Experience:

• Raised Platforms: Tents are set on elevated platforms (accessed by 10-20 steps), lifting you into the canopy for a true “treetop” perspective.
• Indoor & Outdoor Showers: Each suite features an en-suite bathroom with the choice of a sleek indoor shower or a private outdoor shower under the stars.
• Luxury Bedding: Rooms are furnished with high-end linens and contemporary décor, balancing the ruggedness of the bush with five-star comfort.
• The Private Vantage: Every suite includes a private veranda, perfect for scanning the Silale Valley for “dark battleships” of elephants with your morning coffee.

Dining Under the Stars Dining at Kuro Treetops is a celebration of the wild, blending international gourmet standards with traditional Tanzanian hospitality.

• Maasai Boma Dining: Enjoy an open-air dining concept where dinner is served under a large canvas of brightly lit stars, surrounded by the “wild calling” of the bush.
• The Pavilion Lounge: The main lounge, built into the Kopje rocks, offers a cozy fireplace for post-safari cocktails and storytelling.
• Bush Picnics: Given its central location, the lodge provides excellent gourmet picnic boxes for long days spent exploring the southern reaches of the park.

• Wildlife Proximity: The lodge’s location near Silale Swamp ensures that wildlife—especially elephants—is visible year-round directly from the property.
