There are wonderful accommodation alternatives ranging from fine hotel suites, tents, campsites, park lodges to five star hotels and private villas, where you stay sets the tone for your journey. To make it easier for you to choose the right accommodation choice as we plan your itinerary we will offer you with a range of beautifully appointed accommodations sorted by name and location to suit your desired style of Safari and adventure.
Tented Camps
While nature brings you to Tanzania and every lodge or camp optimizes the show. You’ll have front-row seats, either from hidden hides or private balconies overlooking riverbeds and waterholes. Don’t ever be frightened by the word ‘tent’. These camps are like nothing you have seen before, combining the features of a sumptuous hotel room with an absolute immersion in nature. These tents have thatched roofs and large, mesh-screened windows, comfortable verandah ideal for bird and game viewing or just simply relaxing. Opulent en suite facilities are the norm; with a choice of twin, double, or triple accommodation, all tents are equipped with en-suite bathrooms with solar-heated showers, ample cupboard space for your gear, and a cultural touch of local textiles. Have your private dinners beneath the stars, with grazing animals wandering past and well separated from the rest. Expect impeccable service and few other guests.

Food
Food on safari is good and plentiful. Vegetarians or others with dietary restrictions can easily be accommodated with advanced notice. All meals while on safari are included. However, if you are arriving in advance, staying after your safari, or spending any additional time in cities (e.g., Arusha, Dar es Salaam), you will be responsible for your own meals there. Breakfast is always included in an overnight hotel stay.
Warm/Hot showers will be available throughout your safari, even in the mobile tents. Showering is usually the same as at home, only the water pressure might not be as strong, the temperature may not be as hot, and the water may not be as plentiful. While the larger safari lodges typically offer 24-hour electricity, some smaller camps and lodges often rely on generators for electricity so once the last person in the camp is in bed, the generator is shut down to re-charge overnight. In these instances, solar or battery-powered lamps and/or flashlights are available in your room for light sources during the night.
Laundry is readily available at lodges and camps, usually at a cost of $1-$2 per item, although most small upscale camps and lodges include laundry complimentary.
For honeymooners lodges offer intimate romantic candlelight dinner deep in the African bush, to stunning sunrise hot-air balloon flight over the rolling plains followed by a Champagne breakfast.
