Accommodation: Safari Lodges, Tented Camps, Hotels

Before and after the safari, you’d sometimes spend a night in a hotel or resort located in or near cities or airports. The comfort level and amenities depend on safari you book, but we allow you to switch to a budget option or upgrade to a more luxurious one.

Lodges are permanent structures typically located in or near national parks and reserves or in remote areas. Safari lodges range in comfort level from basic (the equivalent of budget hotels) to mid-range (3-star hotels), luxury and ultra-luxury (4-5-star hotels).
If it’s your first time on a safari or you are not comfortable sleeping in a tent, a lodge makes an excellent choice.

Camping sites come in many shapes and forms and the same goes for the experience. Adventure camping requires the guest to assist with camp duties.

The campsites can be located inside or outside the national parks but essentially it will entail you, the tent, and the wilderness. The comfort level depends on the campsite but note Kili Step 2 Safaris you’ll sleep in sleeping beds. Generally speaking, the campsites located in public parks may only offer basic amenities (bucket shower and pit bathroom), while the private option may even offer a pool.

Tented camps are considered one of the best options for a safari and are usually small camps (5-20 tents). You’ll find a real bed, en-suite bathroom, and wi-fi service (where available). They come with private decks and amazing views of the surrounding area. There is always cold and hot running water, as well as electricity. The dining service is comparable to fine restaurants.
