Things to confirm before booking

The current page's children-over-six wording conflicts with a cached 2024 official fact sheet's over-five policy; reconfirm the minimum age, especially for a six-year-old.
The old PDF URL now serves a different site response; do not treat its cached room count or policies as current without confirmation.
Confirm current tent availability, any in-tent charging limits, fencing and which activities/fees the operator's package includes.

Travelling as a family: Twin, queen, triple and family options are advertised; family tents have two queen beds. Confirm your children’s ages, beds, maximum occupancy and any activity restrictions; a family room does not establish childcare or step-free access.

Common booking questions

Is Tarangire Simba Lodge guaranteed on my dates?

No. We check availability when preparing your quotation. If this stay is unavailable, a comparable property may be proposed. Check its location, room category and facilities before accepting a substitution; the same comfort level does not guarantee the same access or setting.

Are all the property’s activities included?

Only the meals, transfers, park visits and activities listed in your written safari quotation are included. An activity on the property’s website may require a separate booking, fee, age limit or suitable weather.

How should I choose my room?

Give us your required beds and any mobility, bathroom, dietary or reliable-power needs before booking. Ask for the actual room category and access arrangements in writing. Published Wi-Fi or a generator does not guarantee continuous coverage or electricity in every room.
