Imagine waking up to breathtaking panoramas of the African savanna, where three of the world’s most iconic safari ecosystems converge: the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, the Maasai Mara National Reserve, and the Serengeti National Park. This is the daily reality at TAASA Lodge, a sanctuary in Northern Tanzania that offers a chance to experience Africa’s magic like never before.
While the unparalleled views from TAASA Lodge are enough to take your breath away, the true essence of this unique lodge lies in its values. Founded on a deep love for family, adventure, and sustainability, TAASA Lodge is more than just a place to stay – it’s a commitment to preserving the natural beauty of Tanzania, its wildlife and vibrant people.
The story of TAASA Lodge began in 2007, when Jim Roane and his family embarked on a life-changing safari in Tanzania. Captivated by the country’s charm and the warmth of its people, Jim saw an opportunity to invest in a lodge that would not only provide guests with unforgettable experiences but also empower the local community.
Peter Taunton, a close friend and fellow philanthropist, shared Jim’s vision. Together, they transformed the lodge into TAASA, a Swahili word that means “Let’s Go” or “Do It.” This spirit of exploration and dedication to community is woven into the very fabric of TAASA Lodge.
The soul of TAASA Lodge lies in its deep commitment to the land and its people. The Lodge operates with a deep respect for the surrounding ecosystem, and continuously strives to minimize their impact on the lands they traverse.
Moreover, TAASA Lodge is deeply connected to the Maasai people, whose rich culture is reflected in the lodge’s design and hospitality. Over 70% of the lodge’s staff come from the nearby Ololosokwan village, ensuring that guests benefit from authentic cultural experiences while the community thrives through sustainable tourism.
TAASA Lodge’s mission statement is to Empower, Protect and Explore.
Beyond the stunning vistas and commitment to empower and protect, TAASA Lodge offers a wealth of activities to ignite your sense of adventure.
