SAFARI LODGES

Safari lodges are expansive, permanent structures designed to blend comfort and style with the rugged beauty of the wilderness. Built from brick and mortar, these lodges offer a stable, grounded feel amidst the ever-changing landscapes of Africa. Although typically smaller than traditional hotels, safari lodges provide a full suite of amenities, ensuring that guests can enjoy both the thrill of nature and the comforts of a well-appointed retreat. Most lodges include facilities like restaurants that offer a taste of local and international cuisine, as well as swimming pools where guests can unwind while soaking in views of the surrounding wilderness.

SAFARI TENTED CAMPS

Safari tented camps offer an immersive blend of adventure and comfort, combining the thrill of camping with the amenities of a lodge. These camps feature spacious, walk-in canvas tents set on permanent frames, allowing guests to enjoy en-suite bathrooms, dining areas, and, in some cases, swimming pools—all the while feeling close to nature. Typically smaller and more intimate than lodges, tented camps range from three-star options with essential comforts to five-star luxury setups that include gourmet dining and personalized service. Set in scenic, wildlife-rich locations, they provide a unique, cozy, and luxurious safari experience, perfect for those who want to feel truly immersed in the wilderness without sacrificing modern comforts.

SAFARI MOBILE CAMP

These 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 a 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 ambience of Africa, water is heated by staff for bathing, and generators power the mobile camps. When staying in a tented camp, guests have the opportunity to truly connect with nature. December – April mobile tents are set in Ndutu areas, May to June – North and west Serengeti, July to October – North Serengeti.

Budget Camps

Budget camping fits in the tented camps category. The experience is however completely different, making it deserve to be regarded separately.

You get to stay in public campsites, inside bivouac tents, sleeping on mattresses laid on the tent floor, or in sleeping bags. Basic washroom facilities are available in the public campsites, and are shared by everyone at the campsite. 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 as nowhere else.
