Boundary Hill Lodge 4* (Танзания, Национальный парк Тарангире)

Boundary Hill Lodge, Tanzania's newest wildlife experience is located high above the savannah where agama lizards and the red flowers of aloe vera provide a vivid and eye-catching contrast to herbs, grasses and bare rocks.

Literally perched on the edge of Tarangire National Park, among trees and rock outcrops, the lodge is nestled into the cliffs and huge granite slabs. Built of natural materials, predominantly local stone, wood and burnt brick, Boundary Hill Lodge offers outstanding views over the Silale and Gosuwa swamps, where elephant and buffalo graze among the acacia and baobab trees beneath the vastness of Africa's sky.

Boundary Hill Lodge is the forerunner of other similar projects in Tanzania and has a number of pioneering features.

• The first lodge in Tanzania to have a local community shareholding, with the Masai village of Lokisale owning 50%.
• One of the few lodges in Tanzania to be located in its own exclusive Conservation Area, Lokisale Village has set aside 164 square kilometres for walking safaris, night drives and fly camping.
• The first lodge in Tanzania to put the needs of the surrounding environment uppermost.
