Best Tanzania Safari Accommodations

Lodges, Tented Camps and Mobile Camps

Travelling with Interlink Trails is a little bit different. We endeavour to provide travellers with an authentic experience to remember, so we try to keep accommodation as unique and traditional as possible.

Home to the Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater plus a host of other parks and reserves, Tanzania is one of Africa's classic safari destinations and its accommodation reflects this: luxury safari lodges, remote tented camps and popular safari hotels make up most of our recommendations. But our selection of Tanzania accommodation showcases both the luxury lodges and the more affordable camps, ensuring everyone gets a taste of this fascinating and diverse country.

Accommodation styles

After a long dusty road one appreciates the cool oasis of a luxury lodge, hotel or camp in Tanzania. Here one can enjoy watching the African animals come and go from the bar, a cocktail at handreach.

As diversified as the different safari styles in Tanzania just so are the accommodation styles we offer:

Lodge safaris offers accommodation in lodges and permanent tented camps with solid flooring. Luxury safaris include specially selected four to five-star lodgings where you will have a bedroom, good beds with linen and an en-suite bathroom. Lodge safaris are available as group tours with scheduled departure dates or as private trips.

Our Mobile Explorer safaris offer camping in secluded and private campsites away from the crowds. The tents we use are larger than camping tents and guests sleep on single beds fitted with a proper mattress and linen. The food on our Mobile Explore safaris is specially prepared by well- trained safari chefs and will be served in the mess tent or under the open African sky.

Mobile toilets and bush showers are provided.

The Mobile Explorer safari style is ideal for nature lovers who enjoys peace and quietness in the middle of the African bush but who prefer a little comfort.

Adventure Camping safaris are perfect for adventurers and are more rustic in style. You will overnight in public campsites within the national parks or on campsites outside the parks but close to the entrance. Guests sleep in 2-man tents on comfortable sleeping mats. Ablution facilities on camp sites are very basic and shared with other campers. A safari cook will prepare delicious home-cooked food, served in a lapa on the camp site. Adventure Camping safaris are great for nature lovers with a limited budget, families and the young-at-heart. These safaris are available as group tours with scheduled departure dates or as private trips departing on guests’ selected dates.

We are carefully choosing the lodges and camps for you, but if you have own preferences, then we can modify the accommodations according to your wishes! Some of the camps we offer are ultimately comfy permanent luxury tented camps, others are small and have superb attention to detail, whilst others are mobile tented camps that ensure you will maximise your chances of witnessing the great migration. Game lodges are also popular options, and have a permanent structure with private bandas, lounges and communal dining. In Zanzibar, boutique lodges with bungalows and villas afford paradise views of the Indian Ocean.
