Discover Forest Chem Chem

Nestled in private land beside the Tarangire National Park, this new family camp offers families a true taste of African wilderness. Forest Chem Chem is an exclusive-use camp for families. The main concept of the camp centers around 'Kuungana', the Swahili word for 'to connect'- meaning it's the perfect safari location for the whole family to come and be together.

With warm fires and the privacy of a whole camp, Forest Chem Chem offers an all-inclusive experience with two large king tents and an equally large family tent. Each tent offers an en-suite bathroom with a toilet, dressing area, and an indoor and outdoor shower. The tents also have a private patio in the front, the perfect place to start a morning. In the evenings, gather around the fire to cook dinner and spend the days with your private guide and vehicle exploring the vast Tanzanian wilderness. With endless family opportunities, Forest Chem Chem is the perfect family safari camp.
