Accommodation in Tanzania, at a glance
It's 6am. You're handed a freshly brewed coffee. Orange streaks cover the sky towards the horizon as the sun climbs higher. You've got a full day of safari ahead of you.
Tanzania is one of Africa's most popular safari destinations, and there is no shortage of exceptional accommodation here.
Picture a private veranda overlooking a verdant clearing. A private pool just a few hundred metres from a group of elephants. A whisky or wine around the campfire in middle of Africa's wildest wilderness areas.

Types of Accommodation in Tanzania
There are a lot of accommodation options in Tanzania. The lodges you stay at are a huge part of the experience, so it’s important to choose wisely.
There are two styles of accommodation on safari in East Africa: tented camps (either mobile or fixed) or permanent lodges.
The tented camps range from no-frills, classic camps with bucket showers and eco-toilets to fixed luxury tents with plunge pools.
Some camps are mobile and follow the migration throughout the year. These are located in the northern plains of the Serengeti from July to October and in the southern plains from December to February.
The fixed camps have permanent locations and are usually open throughout the year.
If you are looking for something more luxurious and structured, there are stunning luxe lodges to choose from.
