Chem Chem Safari Lodge
Chem Chem Lodge is a refined oasis with a calm energy that embodies the slow safari. At Chem Chem Lodge you’ll find yourself set between watering holes, savannah grasslands, and a vast salt pan, where the immense sense of space is rivaled only by sublime privacy and sophisticated comforts. It’s a space where an organic palette of color and texture reflects the natural beauty beyond.
Here, handcrafted furniture and artworks adorn the spacious lodge and airy suites, and every considered element is our tribute to the remarkable lands we call home.
From the comfort of your patio, toast the sunset from a roaring campfire, and savor intimate gourmet dining
