Chaka Camps, a collection of boutique tented lodges offering luxury safari experiences, recently unveiled extensive renovations conducted over the winter months. The new look and amenities arrive just in time for guests to enjoy the 2019 Ndutu calving season.

All tents were redesigned and replaced during renovations. Tent canvases adopted a new tan color palette for brighter interiors. The 11 bedroom tents with en-suite bathrooms feature flush toilets and bucket showers; now bathrooms offer more space and privacy, hardwood decking, double sink basins and a new separate dressing area. Furnishings, including armchairs, bed end units, carpets, verandah seating and wardrobes, were replaced. Adjusted tent layouts allow for direct views of the Serengeti plains from bed.

“The renovation of Chaka Camp was a major undertaking and involved working with many different Arusha-based suppliers and designers over several months. The new tents were sewn on site at the Chaka Camps office in Arusha and many furniture pieces were constructed at our office complex as well. We are excited about the new look of Chaka and hope our guests enjoy their holidays with us!” said Omary Ridhiwan, general manager, Chaka Camps Arusha.

Chaka Camps include Kiota Camp, permanently located in Central Serengeti for year-round game viewing, and Kichuguu Camp. The latter opened in June 2017 near the Tarangire River basin and Silale Swamp.

Rates start at $400 per night.
