Taasa Lodge

The High Escarpment At an elevation of 6,000 feet, Taasa sits 4 kilometers from the Klein’s Ranger Post. It occupies a vital wildlife management corridor where migratory herds spill out of the park boundary during the dry season.The Tactical Advantage:

• Unrestricted Freedom: Since Taasa is on a private concession, guests enjoy unrestricted off-road game driving—allowing you to take your safari in any direction you choose—along with night drives and bush walks.

The Outlook Point: A short walk up the hill from the lodge leads to an elevated lookout where guests sip drinks around a blazing fire as the sun sets over the western bluffs.

Taasa offers activities that transform a standard safari into a deep immersion:

• Night Game Drives: As night falls, the land becomes an “alien landscape waxed in silver moonlight.” Using a specialized vehicle with a front “spotter seat,” you can watch hippos emerge from the rivers and see elephants melt into the clearings like silent battleships in the night.
• Escorted Bush Walks: Tailored to your preference, these walks allow you to appreciate the “subtle details”—from medicinal plants to animal tracks—while enjoying the gorgeous vistas of the Loliondo hills.
• Authentic Cultural Interactions: Visit a local village to witness traditional singing and dancing. You may even participate in a tribal naming ceremony, walking away with your own unique Maasai name.
• Sundowners & Warriors: Prior to dinner, enjoy hors d’oeuvres and cocktails while Maasai staff showcase their prowess as warriors through traditional dance on the campfire terrace.

Two-Level Luxury Suites The 15 suites are a celebration of colors and textures, each offering over 600 square feet of meticulously designed space.

The Guest Experience:

• Vibrant Design: Expect unexpected splashes of kelly-green and fuchsia, leather sofas, and bed frames made of recycled aluminum accented with brilliant Maasai beadwork.
• The Stone Veranda: Each suite features a large veranda made of indigenous stone that glints with mica and quartz in the sunlight.
• Industrial-Chic Bathrooms: Featuring cream-tiled floors, hammered iron sinks elevated on concrete basins, and gnarled timber light fixtures.
• Thoughtful Finishes: The suites are stocked with lemon and lavender soaps, chestnut shampoo, and a refreshing safari facial mist.

The Great Hall

• The Main Dining Room: A two-tiered space where tables are accented by giant kudu horn centerpieces.
• The Library Bar: Located a few stairs above the lounge, this is a quiet retreat for a post-safari cognac.
• Bush Gastronomy: Exquisite food is served both in the formal dining room and at secret bush locations, accompanied by exceptional service from a staff that feels like family.

• Infinity Swimming Pool: A spectacular hilltop oasis overlooking the Lobo Valley.
• Family Activities: Specialized programs include shorter bush walks, animal track identification, and stargazing in the Southern Hemisphere.
• Off-the-Beaten-Path: Taasa serves as a remote base for exploring the most beautiful and isolated reaches of the North Serengeti.
