In keeping with the incredible diversity that Tanzania offers in terms of geography, the variety of safari lodges and accommodation is similarly large and assorted, to suit the needs of all kinds of tourists. Depending on your vacation needs and budget, with a little time and patience, you can zero in on the perfect accommodation and itinerary to create your dream holiday.

Tented or Camping Safaris: For the young and “young-at-heart,” a camping safari is the best way to experience the magic of the African bush, the sounds of the birds and animals at night, sample the local cuisines, catch a glimpse of the local traditional cultures and societies and shop for souvenirs at the colorful local markets. Tents range from safari-style rugged canvas to luxury silk and Hemingway style, with king-size beds, chandeliers, carpets and en suite baths! The most attractive part of tented safaris is the serving of meals al fresco, with plenty of barbecue and open-fire cooking. Early-morning and late-evening safaris are also possible, since the campsites are situated within the park itself. Some are permanent campsites, others may be mobile sites, which can be moved from location to location depending on the itinerary.

Private Reserves: As opposed to the big national parks, smaller private game reserves offer a unique, personalized experience, less crowded and with better facilities. Also, private reserves allow tourists to penetrate deeper into the veldt, late-night or moonlight safaris etc. In private reserves like those owned by the Masai, you can get the services of experienced guides and also spend more time in the dwellings of local residents.

Budget: If you're looking for an inexpensive Tanzania holiday, there are several budget options. Smaller farmsteads and estates offer home-stays and boutique type accommodation, with affordable charges and personalized service.

Luxury: For that unforgettable, special-occasion vacation, a luxury lodge is ideal. They offer world-class facilities, cuisine, wines and entertainment besides fabulous game-viewing.

Family Lodges: While traveling with young children, you could find that most safari parks don't allow children below 12 to come on drives, so keeping them safe and entertained can become an issue. Family-style lodges are ideal in such situations. They offer smaller versions of game-drives called 'bush bumbles', story-telling sessions, special meals, arts and crafts workshops, picnics, cook-outs, etc to allow kids to enjoy their vacation while you enjoy yours too.

Natural Beauty: Tanzania's rich and diverse landscape offers incredible photography opportunities. From the amazing Rift Valley, the Great Animal Migrations, the Ngorongoro Crater, to Mt Kilimanjaro and Meru or riverside campsites, these locations offer wonderful glimpses of wildlife, natural beauty and a serene, peaceful ambiance. Many lodges are located in these areas and you can choose the one to suit your budget and holiday requirements.
