Absolutely wonderful! Absolutely wonderful visit. The service, food and hospitality were 5 stars. The landscape and location is stunning. Our guide Nelson was fantastic! We saw so much in our three day visit. We have visited Africa over a dozen times and this is a top 5 safari in our books. We will definitely visit again!
Paradise middle the wildlife with top team and all amenities! This unforgettable place is called Little Chem Chem but the name Gem Gem would be equally fitting! Superb accommodations, particularly attentive and personalized service, authentic Tanzanian kindness and hospitality, very talented wellness lady, overall top team, great cuisine (gems for eyes and taste buds), an extraordinary and unforgettable nature guide (Isaac) who has allowed us to enjoy every conceivable wildlife and natural beauty very close by day and night but also gave us the opportunity to meet Masai Chief Choroko extensively; the nature walks under the (co-) guidance of Masai warrior Raposhe: truly experiences-for-life!
Experience for life Chem Chem in terms of service is one of the best hotels I have ever been. We were uns family trip with kids as well, and all of us left wanting to come back. The lodges are super comfortable and clean, food very good (respecting allergies) and every detail is taken care of. Emmanuel and all the team were impressive and the safari experience was magnificent. In our last night which was the birthday of a family member they did a special night for us which we will never forget. What a vibe! Thank you
