Key Facts
Entara operates a network of 6 lodges (and more to go…) in the most attractive locations of Tanzania
Entara was formed by a group of like-minded souls that found a common ground. Artists and safari guides, hoteliers, chefs and entrepreneurs – an eclectic tribe bound together by bonds of deep passion and commitment to Africa’s wilderness and its people. We learned through years of hands-on safari operation that the safari experience means nothing without that unbridled and raw connection to wildlife and wilderness.
Dedicated to conserving and restoring wilderness and wildlife, our intimate Entara camps, lodges and curated safari experiences provide an immersive safari experience with a light ecological footprint rooted in principles of sustainable tourism. We aim to inspire peoples’ perspectives about the balance between man and nature and rekindle a meaningful connection to nature.
