If you’re thinking about experiencing a safari holiday, it helps to know the most popular types of accommodation that are likely to suit your family or group. One of the most popular of all is the safari lodge. Let’s take a closer look at this unique type of accommodation.
What are the features of a Safari Lodge?
Safari Lodges tend to be larger than safari camps and are generally solid and permanent structures made from brick or a similar material. Some Tanzania Safari Lodges may be made from timber on elevated legs so that you can see over the savannah and allow nature to come close to where you are staying.
The Tanzania Safari Lodges come in a range of different luxury grades, from basic through to top-of-the-range, and you’ll essentially get what you pay for. At the budget end, you might have a basic bunk, shared bathroom facilities and a basic breakfast included, for example. At the luxury end of the market for Tanzania Safari Lodges, you might get fine linen in a beautiful suite, a private bathroom and delicious catering. There are usually safari lodges to suit all needs and group sizes.
How do Safari Lodges differ from Safari camps?
Safari camps tend to be tented, although – again – the levels of luxury available will vary widely according to what you are booking and your budget. But for many people, the comfort of Tanzania Safari Lodges tends to outweigh the option of safari camps. Lodges are only suitable, however, if you are keen to stay in one location for your trip, perhaps on the outskirts or inside a formal Safari park, for example.
So when you consider booking a safari, remember to consider your accommodation carefully, for the best possible travel experience.
