Welcome to Little Chem Chem – The Spirit of Safari, Refined
Set between Tarangire National Park and Lake Burunge, Little Chem Chem is an exclusive-use luxury camp where timeless wilderness meets the elegance of slow safari living. Known as the “sunrise camp,” it offers unfiltered intimacy with nature — elephants at your doorstep, lions in the distance, and the dramatic Rift Valley horizon painting every morning gold.
Here, privacy is sacred, wildlife is abundant, and every experience is tailored with quiet sophistication.
Camp Design & Accommodation – Authentic Luxury Rooted in Nature
Little Chem Chem is an intimate camp designed for discerning travelers who value space, serenity, and soul. It combines raw, earthy beauty with handpicked detail — African textiles, vintage campaign furniture, and wide canvas walls that breathe with the land.

5 luxury vintage-style tents (including 1 family suite), each with:
· King-size beds and a sitting area

· Expansive wooden decks with lounge chairs overlooking the bush
Features:

This is barefoot luxury at its finest — unpretentious, immersive, and utterly unforgettable.
