Boundary Hill Lodge

A place not to be missed We had a wonderful stay in BHL during our recent visit to Tarangire National Park. Huge rooms, exotic feeling, comfortable beds and unbeatable view everywhere you lay your eyes at. Jerry and the team are genuinely friendly. With the 10 mins of our arrival at the lodge we feel like we are visiting old friends/ family of ours. We slept with the sounds of the animals around us and woke up with the sunrise, birds chirping and even elephants trumpet. The night drive program they run is truly magical as well. We saw tons of actions around the WMA area. Hope we’ll be able to make it back there soon again.

Wonderful place! The lodge is very remote, placed on a hill. We were quite tired when we finally got there, but then you walk into the room and stand in front of this view. Just amazing! You see animals roaming around in the plain below. I got up at sunrise to see the plain come to life and everything being basked in pink and purple light. Would have loved to stay there longer than one night. The rooms are in good shape but it's not a luxury property. The food was great, too! Inspired by local kitchen and cooked very well. Still remembering that soup! Staff are very friendly and helpful. If you love to be in a stunning place without expecting a 5 star lodge, this is the place to go! Simple and gorgeous!

Luckiest Gal Alive ... My first two nights in Tanzania were at Boundary Hill Lodge. I was completely blown away by the lodge and felt so incredibly lucky to stay there. The setting is spectacular overlooking the grasslands of Tarangire National Park. Eight rooms, each with a huge private balcony, are arranged so that none are visible to the others. I slept so well and woke to glorious birdsong that got progressively louder as the sun came up. The room was spacious and sparsely elegant with a full bath downstairs – hard to imagine a better view from a loo. We had two days of amazing wildlife drives from the lodge seeing more animals than I hoped for the whole trip. The vista was iconic with elephants resting under umbrella acacia. The lodge was a welcome retreat after a long day. The common area where meals are served has wonderful patios and views. One afternoon we watched a herd of Cape Buffalo moving through the valley below us. The staff took wonderful care of us, the food was very good and the South African wines excellent. The lodge is designed to be at one with its environment both architecturally and functionally. It relies on solar panels for electricity and water is not abundant. Travelers looking for spas, saunas and heated pools may be disappointed and I wouldn’t recommend it for those with mobility issues (bathroom is downstairs). For me, it was perfect. I have been to some fabulous places in my 65 years and Boundary Hill Lodge is tied for first with Big Sur’s Post Ranch.

Beautiful, simple lodge and location My family (parents, wife, 2 sons 11 and 12yrs) recently spent one night at Boundary Hill Lodge. The only complaint we have is that it wasn't enough time. This is a wonderful, low impact lodge that ends up providing a big impact on guest well being. The rooms are spacious and elegant, the staff is friendly and helpful, the food is great, and the location is spectacular. Another plus is that, being just outside the Tarangire park boundary in a Wildlife Management Area, it is possible to do night game drives and morning/evening walking safaris. Our drive back to the main road took us through the WMA, which was almost as full of animals as the park.

Stunning Location and excellent Staff A truly magical place perched on Cliffs on the edge of tarangire National Park. The views from the room, even the toilet, and from the restaurant area are stunning. The staff, led by the very capable manager Jeremiah, could not have been more helpful or friendly. Whilst we were there we undertook a couple of guided walks in the conservation area bordering the park, and I would highly recommend this as it is a change from sitting in a vehicle all day. We also went on a night drive, with lights used to spot wildlife, where we saw a very good range of nocturnal animals. The place was very comfortable but I loved it’s wild feel. This place definitely has a wow factor and would be very good for a special occasion.

Remote, Stark and breathtaking beauty. Boundary Hill lodge was a stunning example of integrating into the environment and not overpowering it. My family was overwhelmed but the views and rugged beauty. When we arrived and got out of our dusty truck were welcomed by the entire staff and offered warm towels and drinks. I don't know how to explain the rooms. They were everything you would want them to be. If you go and I highly recommend you do make sure to go for the nature walk. Zebras and Giraffe stroll with you! Food is good and a very capable artist is on the staff. Vince Vennitti NYC

Amazing Place and People! We spent two nights at Boundary Hill Lodge while visiting Tarangire National Park. This place is so beautiful and magical. The views are spectacular as the lodge is built on a bluff overlooking the region -- each room is uniquely designed around the bluff and includes a deck where the sunrise and the night sky are yours to see. We instantly loved the staff who took great care of us. The food was delicious and we dined in a beautiful place each morning and evening. I highly recommend Boundary Hill Lodge to you.

Magic Spot Our family group stayed at BHL for 3 nights while visiting Tarangire National Park. Jerry and his team made us feel welcome and nothing was too much trouble. The setting is amazing and we were able to watch elephants and giraffe from the dining room while eating our breakfast. All the rooms are private, have wonderful views and each of them is unique. This is a magic place to come to and experience the African bush.

A perfect place I was overwhelmed. Such a beautiful space on a little hill overlooking Tarangire National Park. The house we stayed in had a full frontal panoramic window, as had the bathroom. You could see giraffes walking the savannah from your room. At night, you hear the hyenas. It‘s magical, really. We had diner by the open fire, three courses. We‘re vegetarians and weren‘t sure if that‘s a problem, but the diner was literally SO good! The whole staff was super nice and we felt so comfortable there. It‘s quiet, peaceful, you become part of nature. Altogether all I asked for and more.

Loved this Place! This was the last lodge we stayed in on our 14 day safari. They saved the best for last! Such a unique, beautiful place and definitely off the beaten path. The view was stunning with the wall of glass. I went to sleep staring at the starry sky and awoke to a beautiful sunrise. The food was excellent and the staff was friendly. Loved this place!
