tented camps
Tented Camps are the most authentic safari experience. They are set up right in the wilderness, often seasonal, with canvas tents that let you hear and feel the wild around you. They’re comfortable but simple, perfect for travelers who want to be very close to nature.
tented lodges
Tented Lodges are a step up in comfort. They combine the adventure of staying in a tent with the facilities of a lodge like permanent structures, larger tents on raised platforms, private bathrooms, and sometimes even swimming pools. They give you a real safari feel but with more luxury.
Hotels & lodges
Hotels & Lodges are the most traditional accommodations. You’ll find them both in cities (like Arusha or Zanzibar) and inside national parks. They offer solid walls, modern amenities, and a full range of services, making them ideal if you prefer more convenience and comfort after your adventures.
