What accommodation options are available during a Safari and Zanzibar trip?
BASED ON TYPES
SAFARI CAMPS AND LODGES
Campsites
If you’re looking to truly immerse yourself in the wild, campsites are an exciting option. Tanzania’s safari parks, especially the Serengeti, offer a range of campsites from simple, budget-friendly setups to luxurious tented camps with more comforts and amenities. Picture yourself waking up to the sounds of nature, with wildlife nearby—campsites are perfect if you want an authentic, up-close experience of Tanzania’s stunning landscapes.
Lodges
Lodges are a popular choice in safari areas. You’ll find them both inside and around major parks, making them ideal for easy access to game drives. Lodges strike a great balance: they offer the rustic charm of the wild along with the comfort of amenities like cozy rooms, on-site dining, and sometimes even pools. Whether you’re looking for something affordable or leaning toward a luxury lodge with spectacular views, there’s something to fit every style and budget. Many lodges are also strategically placed near prime wildlife spots, so you can catch those early morning or sunset views of animals.
HOTELS AND RESORTS
Hotels
Hotels aren’t as common inside the safari parks, but you’ll find them in the nearby towns and cities, like Arusha, which is the main hub before or after your safari. If you prefer a more urban base before diving into the wilderness, hotels offer that convenience. In places like Zanzibar, where beach stays are popular, hotels can range from budget-friendly options to high-end properties with beautiful sea views.
Resorts
For the ultimate beach experience, especially in Zanzibar, resorts are the way to go. Resorts in coastal areas are designed for relaxation, often featuring pools, spas, and oceanfront views. They’re great for unwinding after your safari, with access to water sports, beach lounging, and other comforts. From simple beach huts to luxurious seaside suites, there’s something for everyone looking to enjoy the warm, tropical vibe of Tanzania’s coast.
Each of these options offers something unique, whether you’re drawn to the thrill of being close to wildlife, the comfort of a lodge, or the relaxation of a beach resort. Your stay is as much a part of the journey as the adventure itself, so choose what makes you feel most excited for the trip ahead!
BASED ON COMFORT LEVEL
When it comes to accommodation, Tanzania offers something for everyone. If you’re looking for a mix of comfort and value, mid-range lodges strike the perfect balance, giving you a cozy stay without breaking the bank. For the more adventurous traveler, budget-friendly campsites provide an authentic experience under the stars, close to nature. On the other hand, if you’re ready to treat yourself, luxury and ultra-luxury accommodations offer world-class service, breathtaking views, and all the amenities you could dream of. Whatever your style or budget, Tanzania has the perfect place to rest and recharge after a day of adventure.
The range of lodging available in Tanzania safari is from luxury lodges and tented camps ($500 and above) to mid-range options ($300-$450) to budget-friendly or standard options (below $300), and the benefits of each.
Camping vs lodge accommodation: Which is better for luxury stays during Tanzania safaris?
