Most of our comfort safari we use small lodges and tented camps, providing our travelers with an excellent ratio between quality and price. With Comfort level trips, accommodation always comes with private bathroom facilities. There are a limited number of large properties that reflect resort-style accommodation; these are generally found on the island of Zanzibar and not on the safari circuits.

Many of the camps we recommend will have no more than 8 rooms or tents (limiting the maximum amount of people to 16) as this leads to an interpersonal and engaging safari experience Safari lodges in Tanzania vary greatly from a three to five-star level, with the smaller and more exclusive properties being more costly. Staffing at most Tanzanian camps and lodges are run by local Tanzanians - warm in nature and spirit.

Camping Safaris

These are small, intimate camps move around, following herds of migratory animals. Camp operators construct semi-permanent camps that are constructed in the open bush. There are no barriers and animals can roam free but these mobile camps are safe and guests’ safety is a top priority. The camps are fully serviced by permanent staff and the camps aim to offer up a luxury experience in the wilderness. Meals are served by a camp chef and eaten in the ambiance of Africa, water is heated by staff for bathing, and generators power the camps.

Tented camps

Tented camps are made up of large, walk-in, canvas tents set up on permanent frames. These camps are generally smaller than lodges and have facilities similar to that of a lodge or hotel such as separate en-suite bathrooms, restaurants and swimming pools. The tented camps aim to provide all the comforts of a lodge while giving guests a smaller, intimate, tented yet luxurious safari experience.

Lodges

Safari lodges are larger, permanent structures built of brick and mortar. Lodges are smaller than hotels but have the same full amenities and similar facilities such as restaurants and swimming pools. As mentioned above, the lodges range from three-star levels to the ultimate five-star luxury.
