Accommodation

Accommodation in Tanzania: Lodges, Tented Camps and Mobile Camps

Lodges

Safari lodges are larger, permanent structures built of brick and mortar. Lodges are smaller than hotels but have the same full amenities and similar facilities such as restaurants and swimming pools. As mentioned above, the lodges range from three star levels, to ultimate five star luxury.

Tented Camps

Tented camps are made up of large, walk in, canvas tents set up on permanent frames. These camps are generally smaller than lodges and have the amenities similar to that of a lodge or hotel such as separate en-suite bathrooms, restaurants and swimming pools. The tented camps aim to provide all the comforts of a lodge while giving guests a smaller, intimate, tented yet luxurious safari experience.

Mobile Tented Camps

Mobile camps are “roaming camps”. These small, intimate camps move around, following herds of migratory animals. Camp operators construct semi-permanent camps that are constructed in open bush. There are no barriers and animals can roam free but these mobile camps are safe and guests’ safety is a top priority.

These have all been individually designed to compliment and blend in with the magnificent surroundings of their environments while reflecting the themes and influences of Equatorial African cultures and their art.

In addition to the superior interior designs and incomparable standards of service, each of the Elewana Collection demonstrates its responsibilities toward reducing any and all environmental impacts by employing, wherever possible, renewal energy resources, local materials, and waste management controls.

Budget Camping

Budget camping is the ideal way for those who like to “rough it”. Accommodation is provided in a public campsite in a two-man tent with folding safari beds, mattresses, pillows blankets and bed sheets. The tents are spacious enough for two people and have a mesh on each window to keep off insects.
