Plan your Tanzania journey

Safari accommodation, explained

A tent can be beautifully comfortable. A lodge can be intimate. Names alone do not tell the whole story.

Tented camps

Permanent or seasonal canvas camps can range widely in comfort and facilities. Ask about bathroom setup, power, hot water, walking escorts, internet and how close the camp lies to your intended wildlife area.

Lodges

Solid-built lodges often offer more extensive shared facilities, but location and atmosphere vary. A pool or large room is not necessarily more valuable than being closer to the wildlife you came to see.

What we propose

Your journey may include stays selected for location, character and budget. We provide actual property names and room categories in the proposal; photographs on an inspiration page are not a reservation or a guarantee.
