Have you ever wondered what entails different options that are offered by us? Below are detailed explanations on the accommodation differences between Lodge Safari, Tented Lodge Safari and Camping Safari. These are the main accommodation options we offer our clients depending on their budgets and preferences.
LODGE OPTION
Lodge safaris are for any traveler who wishes to experience Tanzania’s wilderness in comfort and ease. During the day, you will be out in the bush exploring the wilderness of Tanzania and in the evenings you will enjoy all the amenities your lodge has to offer.
After an exciting day of game drives, seeing animals and being in nature, you will arrive at your lodge where you will be greeted with a welcome drink and settle in your private room. Take a shower to wash off the dust, have a sundowner and prepare for dinner.
While a guesthouse or hotel consists of one large building and all guests sleep under one roof, normally a lodge is compiled of a number of buildings scattered across a plot of land. The main building will be centrally located. Here you will find a restaurant, a bar, sometimes even a small souvenir shop and a swimming pool. The guest rooms, including bathrooms, are situated in separate smaller buildings or cottages and sometimes a short walk from the main building. Lodges vary immensely in size and number of rooms; therefore, their atmosphere and ambiance may remind you of either a hotel or guesthouse.

TENTED LODGE OPTION
In set-up and location, a tented Lodge camp is similar to a lodge. It is made up of a main tent and guest tents. You will find tented Lodge camps in the national parks and game reserves, rather than in a city. The main difference between a tented camp and a lodge: while a lodge has concrete structures, walls made of stone or wood, a tented camp consists of large safari tents. Don’t think the small tents you pitch in your backyard or on a campsite. These safari tents are spacious sleeping-cum-living tents with ensuite bathrooms and sometimes even a small terrace or pool. This means you don’t have to worry: There is a proper bathroom with proper toilet and shower. Additionally to the guests’ tents, there is one main tent to enjoy your meals, read a book, play a game or have a drink. Tented camps range from basic to luxurious. In a tented camp you are close to nature, without having to miss any comforts.

BUDGET CAMPING OPTION
On our camping safaris you will be immersed in the Tanzanian wilderness. Campsites are the most basic of accommodations in terms of facilities and amenities. However, out here you will most likely have the most authentic experience and get as close to nature like nowhere else.
There are two types of Campsites;
2. Private Campsites
A private campsite is in essence just a bare field, cleared of vegetation – that’s it. There are no permanent structures, no buildings and most importantly – no other people far and wide. All equipment, all food is brought by our team and nothing is left behind. The only thing that will separate you from nature and the wild, is the canvas of your tent. On a private campsite, you will have a front-row seat to the spectacular show; the bush puts on day in and day out.
All your senses will be involved; from smelling early morning coffee, experiencing the thrill of a kill to the chill of a morning game drive. Falling asleep to the hooting of an owl or waking up with the roaring of a lion is what you will experience. The safari experience is all the more intense as you are ‘right in the middle’ of it all. The nearness to the nature, especially at night with its nocturnal sounds, compensates for the luxury of a lodge.
Our camping safaris in Tanzania offer all of this and are therefore perfect for nature lovers and those who are looking for a break from civilization and its comforts. Camping is for budget travelers who wish to experience Tanzania’s nature, animals and cultures in an affordable way.
