Tassia is the ideal escape from the world.  It captures all elements of the African bush, tranquil beauty combined with excitement and adventure.  The dramatic setting of the lodge, perched on the edge of the Mokogodo escarpment, gives a mesmerising view of the Northern Frontier District and the sacred Lolokwe Mountain.

Escaping to Tassia allows for total immersion into the Lekurruki conservation area and insight into the life of the local community.  Tassia was built for the Mokogodo Massai, allowing a symbiotic relationship with community and conservation.  Wildlife conservation is a viable alternative land use that compliments the traditional pastoralism.
