Tanzania Lodges Safari Accommodation
Home > Accomodation
During your Tanzania safari you will most probably stay in different accommodation and most likely only in one hotel in Arusha or Moshi when doing the Northern Tanzania safaris likewise in Dar-es Saalam when doing Tanzania Southern safaris. The other spot is at Zanzibar where you will stay at a hotel in Stone town or a Beach hotel or Resort.
On your landing in Tanzania and if is via Kilimanjaro International Airport and staying in and around Arusha we can offer you a stay in a city hotel or a safari lodge relying upon your inclination.
During your Wildlife and Cultural Safari in Tanzania as part of your visit you will in all probability stay in a safari lodge or a tented camp/lodge.
Most importantly give us a chance to demystify the view of numerous individuals that tented camps are less expensive than hotels. That is a falsehood. Hotels and tented camps all go under the same guidelines and classes and costs also. The main contrast is the style. While lodges are inherent block and mortar, significance they are truly walled rooms and structures, the tented camps are tented rooms and houses made out of campaign.
1.Tented Camps
These are permanent or semi-permanent camps, normally situated in areas of excellent game viewing. The Camps provide many of the comforts of a lodge within private, spacious canvas tents. They are often constructed on a solid base with beds, private bathrooms, and good quality meals that are prepared for you and served in a designated tent. The appeal of these camps and ‘safari tents’ is that you can experience sleeping under canvas in the wilderness, whilst still maintaining a high level of comfort.
The Camps are not fenced. Wild animals can and do wander through, sometimes stopping to graze. There are always guards at the Camps to walk you to and from your tent once it gets dark, and as far as we know, the staff have not taught the animals how to unzip a heavy canvas tent! Laying in bed listening to the sounds of a giraffe munching on a nearby acacia tree, lions roaring, or zebra eating the grass outside of your tent can initially cause accelerated heartbeats, but it is exhilarating, and unquestionably adds to your safari experience.
2. Basic Camping Safaris
A private, mobile fly camp is packed up and pitched on a fresh patch of the wild park each day.
These may be as elaborate or simple as you are prepared to pay for, but carrying cookers and supplies, mess tents and showers are always going to be expensive, if wonderfully personal and exciting business. Tents are usually small and fairly basic. Some safari lodges offer single nights fly-camping in the bush.
3.Lodge
The definition of a lodge is less clear. This is a term used for a smaller, often owner-run accommodation, as distinct from a large hotel.
They are usually truly luxurious and beautifully appointed, usually have swimming pools and almost all have their own resident vehicles, trackers and guides. A lodge is a typical place to stay on safari.
3.Hotels
The safari hotels tend to be much larger, and less personal and intimate versions of lodges.
As a matter, of course, they tend not to have their own safari vehicles or guides, and so we would arrange a private safari for guests and use the hotel simply for board and lodging.
