""We're so excited to announce our entry into Africa," Christian Clerc, the CEO of Auberge Collection, tells T+L in an exclusive interview ahead of the announcement. "We're going to be bringing nine different experiences to Auberge. It's an existing portfolio of two really great operators, Legendary Expeditions and Chem Chem Safari.""
""You're going to be in our hands the whole time," Clerc explains. "From the moment you land at Kilimanjaro Airport, we take you to Legendary Lodge in Arusha. Then, we put you on a private plane and send you to one of the lodges in the Serengeti, and the idea would be to finish the journey [in the Burunga Wildlife Area] at Chem Chem.""
""This is personal for us because our chairman, Dan Friedkin, has been associated with Tanzania for over four decades," Clerc adds. "The private concession really acts as a buffer zone between civilization and the Serengeti National Park.""
Auberge Collection is set to introduce nine safari lodges in northern Tanzania by June 1, 2026. The lodges will provide diverse experiences through partnerships with Legendary Expeditions and Chem Chem Safari. Travelers can book individual lodges or coordinate entire trips, starting from Kilimanjaro Airport. The journey includes stays at Legendary Lodge in Arusha and private concessions in the Serengeti. The chairman, Dan Friedkin, has a long-standing connection to Tanzania, enhancing the personal touch of the offerings.
