In addition to the standard lodge rooms we have, 3 luxury permanent tents with ensuite bathrooms and verandahs, there is nothing to compare with the joys of listening to uninterrupted sounds of beetles, crickets and birds, or to watch the monkeys play from the privacy of your room or tent.

Through our Lodge we can book for you below activities:

Bird Watching   – Tanzania’s bird life is rich and diverse, with over 1000 species available in and around Tanzania. For serious  twitchers specialist birding guides can be arranged. For those new to birding  enthusiasm will breed a curiosity in our feathered friends that will have you returning year after year.

Hiking to the waterfalls   - There is no better way to experience the African bush than on foot, where the tracks, beetles and bugs spring to life. It is likely that you will get close to larger mammals.

Biking to the Lake Manyara   - Biking does not get better than what is available in Tanzania. The country lives on bikes and with that there are thousands of miles of single-track routes to explore. Most of these paths are nice and smooth and easy riding. Obviously there are more challenging routes for the adventurer.

An easy cycle ride down the Great Rift Valley wall; into the farming village of Mto Wa Mbu. Experience local cultures from the bike, ride through some of the Manyara ground water forest and between small herds of wildlife on the lake shore.

Night Game Drive   - The African bush certainly does not sleep at night! Learn about and encounter Africa’s elusive nocturnal creatures on a night drive, whether you are searching for the rare pangolin or watching a leopard hunt, you will be surprised by what goes on after dark.

Visit to the MaasaiBomas   - The Maasai are an indigenous ethnic group of semi-nomadic people living in northern Tanzania and Kenya, and they are the only group allowed free travel over the border. The Maasai reside near many game parks and their dress is very distinctive. Consequently, they are probably the most well-known African ethnic group in the world.

Top 10 Best Tanzania Safari Lodges & Camps

Ariadne is a renowned African wildlife photographer whose work is featured in many well-known guidebooks and magazines.

Tanzania is one of the most highly rated safari destinations in Africa. It is home to several iconic parks, such as Serengeti National Park and Nyerere (formerly Selous Game Reserve) National Park, and the Ngorongoro Crater. These safari hot spots are serviced by a great variety of lodges and camps. Whether you’re looking for an old-school tented camp with maximum bush ambience or a luxurious designer lodge with all the mod cons, there are accommodation options covering all budgets and styles. If you need some tips on where to stay in Tanzania, here are 10 of our favorite Tanzania safari lodges and camps:

1. Ngorongoro Crater Lodge

Ngorongoro Crater Lodge is one of the most striking Tanzanian safari lodges. The description in the brochures, ‘where Maasai meets Versailles’, sums it up. The 30-suite lodge features a unique and eclectic mix of Victorian splendor and African materials. And while you will be wowed by the architecture and furnishings, the views will totally blow you away. Set on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater , the lodge is perfectly located to explore one of the most beautiful wildlife havens on earth.

2. Lake Manyara Tree Lodge

In the shade of an ancient mahogany forest lies Lake Manyara Tree Lodge. It comprises nine sophisticated stilted treehouse suites oozing tranquility and serenity. As the only lodge inside Lake Manyara National Park , it offers a unique wilderness experience just a stone’s throw from the flamingo-filled lake in the heart of the Rift Valley.

3. Sayari Camp

The award-winning Sayari Camp, based in Northern Serengeti , is one of the best places to stay to witness the wildebeest crossing the Mara River during the great migration. The camp features 15 tented suites with alfresco bathtubs and private verandas looking out over the savannah plains. Other noteworthy features are the infinity pool, the rejuvenating spa and a solar-powered microbrewery – the first of its kind in the bush.

4. Greystoke Mahale

Set on a private sandy beach against a backdrop of jungle-clad mountains, Greystoke Mahale evokes a sense of adventure and mystique. The main reason for visiting this remote retreat on the shore of Lake Tanganyika is the thriving population of chimpanzees. Mornings are spent tracking these agile apes, but afternoons are free for boating, swimming or just relaxing in paradise. Six double-story chalets built out of salvaged dhow wood blend into the surroundings. The simple thatched communal dining room and lounge is totally open to the elements, with an upstairs sitting area to enjoy sunset views over the lake.

5. Sand Rivers Selous

Sand Rivers Selous is one of the top Tanzania safari lodges. Located deep in the wilderness of Nyerere NP , the lodge offers sweeping views over the mighty Rufiji River. Guests are accommodated in just eight spacious open-fronted cottages. The minimalist architecture ensures a welcome breeze from the river runs through camp. Staying at Sand Rivers is an adventure. Aside from game drives, boat trips on one of Africa’s most scenic rivers, exhilarating walking safaris and fly camping are all on the agenda.

6. The Highlands

Set on the forested slopes of Olmoti Volcano in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area lies the Highlands. Although very remote, the lodge is a great base for exploring the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater, as well as visiting the local Maasai community. The lodge has a striking design inspired by a traditional Maasai homestead . Accommodation is in eight glass-and-canvas domes offering sweeping views over the Serengeti . At the heart of the camp is a well-stocked library, a place where guests assemble around the fire in the evening to share their day’s adventures.

The Highlands Tours

7. Tarangire Treetops

Another one of the best Tanzania safari camps is Tarangire Treetops. Set in a private game reserve bordering Tarangire National Park , the lodge offers spectacular views of Mt Kilimanjaro, the Rift Valley wall and Lake Manyara . Twenty spacious treehouses with double showers and private balconies are built high off the ground in baobab and marula trees. The main guest area encases a thousand-year-old baobab tree, and a sparkling pool overlooks a watering hole attracting thirsty animals from far and wide.

8. Lamai Serengeti

Lamai Serengeti sits right on top of Kogakuria Kopje, a large pileup of giant boulders. From this vantage point you can enjoy uninterrupted views over the Mara River Valley, a prime wildlife area in Northern Serengeti . The lodge is a perfect base to see the seasonal Mara River crossings where thousands of wildebeest and zebras hurl themselves into the crocodile-infested water in search of greener pastures. Twelve family-friendly tents are split between two camps, Main Camp and the more intimate Private Camp, perfect to be booked entirely by a small group of family or friends.

Lamai Serengeti Tours

9. Mwagusi Safari Camp

Mwagusi Safari Camp is an owner-managed lodge that’s been operating since the 1980s. Its homely, unpretentious atmosphere makes it a favorite with repeat visitors to Ruaha National Park . It is located on a secluded spot on the banks of the seasonal Mwagusi Sand River, a natural animal corridor. This is a great choice for a traditional old-school tented camp safari experience with superb wildlife viewing on its doorstep.

10. Mnemba Island

Mnemba Island is a romantic hideaway off the Zanzibar coast. The uninhabited island features just 12 rustic beach bandas (thatched houses). After a busy safari, this is the perfect place to relax on your private stretch of beach, and sample fresh seafood prepared with exotic spices for which Zanzibar is known. For a bit of adventure you can snorkel straight off the beach or take a short boat trip to Mnemba Atoll.

The Best of Tanzania’s Luxury Safari Lodges

Accommodation , Tanzania

0    comments

Everyone should travel to  Tanzania  at least once in their life! The country simply has it all. Jaw-droppingly scenic national parks teeming with wildlife, Africa’s highest mountain and Africa’s largest lake. And this is over and above the fact that it hosts the Great Wildebeest Migration – one of the greatest wildlife shows on Earth. Last but not least, you can end your dream safari on the sandy beaches of Zanzibar – a tropical island steeped in history, spices and sunshine. There’s a lot to see and do in Tanzania and a mind-boggling choice of safari lodges. Our round-up of Tanzania’s luxury safari lodges includes something for everyone. Let’s get started!

Tanzania's luxury safari lodges are set in the middle of the wilderness, Image Credit: Singita

1. Singita Faru Faru

Singita safari lodges are synonymous with avant-garde design, effortless service and a sensational safari experience. Of these,  Faru Faru Lodge  is one of the best among Tanzania’s luxury safari lodges. 

Occupying a large private chunk of the Serengeti National Park , your safari experience is guaranteed to be exclusive and that alone, in the safari capital of the world, is worth gold. The lodge is as slick and polished as the bold design foretells. Yet, the sublime luxury is only part of the story, as your safari experience here is unparalleled. And even outside of migration season, the plains are alive with predators and big game, including lion, leopard, cheetah, hyena, elephant, rhino and buffalo.

• 350,000-acre private reserve inside the Serengeti National Park for an exclusive year-round safari experience
• Trademark Singita hospitality with effortless service and sophisticated luxury
• Children of all ages are welcome and catered for
• Incredible game viewing safari experiences, including bush walks, a mini rangers club and anti-poaching patrols

Who’s it for?

In a private concession inside the Serengeti National Park, Faru Faru Lodge is the ultimate luxury safari in Tanzania. With special attention given to children of all ages, it is perfect for a luxury family safari experience. And, of course, the setting, service and privacy are made for honeymoons and romance. Faru Faru is also great for solo travellers and couples wanting the ultimate wellness retreat and a  Great Migration bucket list adventure.

The magnificent Singita Faru Faru is set alongside the Grumeti River in the heart of the Serengeti

2. Singita Mara River Tented Camp

Retaining Singita's trademark elegance and poise,  Mara River Tented Camp  wows with modern simplicity. Small, intimate and very close to nature, those ultra-luxury credentials are miraculously maintained while upping the adventure stakes considerably.

In a 98,000-acre concession along the Mara River of Great Migration fame, this is one of the more remote of Tanzania's luxury safari lodges. Classic tented suites face the river and plains from a private deck, whereas the main living area, equally understated and elegant, reflects the beauty and the incredible wilderness surrounding you.

• Elegant luxury in the pristine wilderness of northwestern Serengeti National Park
• Very remote and exclusive as it's the only permanent camp in the Lamai Triangle
• Tented eco camp for a more intimate exchange between yourself and nature
• The Mara River is one of the best places to experience Great Migration river crossings

Who's it for?

This camp is ideally placed for the annual Mara River crossing of the Great Migration. Although, the game viewing year-round is also sensational. As a result, it is ideal for discerning safari, birding and nature enthusiasts. The remote and luxurious eco camp is also great for couples, solo travellers and families with older children.

3. Chem Chem Lodge

Among Tanzania's luxury safari lodges,  Chem Chem  stands tall for its proactive community and conservation programmes. In a vast private concession between  Tarangire  and  Lake Manyara National Park  in northern Tanzania, your safari makes a significant impact. Not just for the protection of wildlife but for the rehabilitation of the ecosystem as well as improving the lives of local villagers, who call this ancient piece of land home.

Chem Chem Lodge is a charming rustic-themed safari lodge with an exciting choice of activities, including safaris in Tarangire and Lake Manyara, Maasai-guided walks, village visits and inspiring behind-the-scenes excursions.

• Chem Chem is a rehabilitated ancient migratory corridor linking the Tarangire and Lake Manyara National Parks
• Fascinating conservation strategies, education programmes and cultural interaction activities
• Incredible game viewing, such as elephant, lion, giraffe, zebra and many more species on the plains and flamingo and many birds at the lake
• On the Great Migration path and with a variety of habitats, including lakes, grasslands and salt pans

Chem Chem is an incredible luxury safari lodge in its own right. Add the powerful philanthropic credentials, and you've got a safari lodge for all seasons. With educational and cultural interaction opportunities, this is an excellent lodge for families and couples interested in both the wildlife and the people of Tanzania.

4. Kuria Hills Lodge

Kuria Hills Lodge  is in the far northwest of the  Serengeti,  near the Mara River on the  Great Migration  path. Tanzania's luxury safari lodges vary from classic tented camps to luxury palaces. And Kuria Hills Lodge combines both styles, with its tented suites having floor-to-ceiling glass frontages and private plunge pools. 

Furthermore, the living area is at once cosy and plush, and the service, food and amenities (for a fully solar-powered safari lodge) wouldn't be out of place in a five-star city hotel. More importantly, year-round game viewing is phenomenal, and the migration path is relatively reliable between July and October.

• Delightful position atop a hill among enormous boulders with sweeping views of the savannah
• Quiet and remote location in northwestern Serengeti
• On the Great Migration path where the herd crosses the Mara River into Kenya
• Sophisticated luxury and enormous glass-fronted tent suites with private plunge pools

Those massive suites, tucked away behind trees and boulders, offer the ultimate in privacy and seclusion. Therefore, it makes Kuria Hills perfect for honeymoons and romantic celebrations. Furthermore, it's also a great option for families thanks to its dedicated children's activities and family suites.

5. Ngorongoro Crater Lodge

Ngorongoro Crater Lodge  is one of the more striking and eclectic of Tanzania's luxury safari lodges. Everything here is extraordinary, from the Maasai-inspired architecture to the dramatic Baroque-inspired décor, from the achingly beautiful views to the heartwarming hospitality. 

The  Ngorongoro Crater  is a World Heritage Site and a singular safari destination. And Ngorongoro Crater Lodge is an appropriately singular safari lodge. Soaring above the crater floor, it feels like you've got front-row seats to some great cosmic event. Take a game drive into the crater, and you'll feel like you're witnessing the dawn of time. It's a special place.

• Sensational setting atop the crater rim with views from everywhere
• Regal luxury with a personal butler, fine dining and exceptional service
• Unique Ngorongoro experience with a full range of wildlife and cultural activities
• Dedicated Wild Child Programme for kids of all ages

Ngorongoro Crater Lodge offers the ultimate luxury safari in Tanzania. Ideal for families, honeymooners, wellness and luxury and holidays, the lodge is an experience in itself.

6. Sanctuary Kichakani Serengeti Camp

Experience the Great Wildebeest Migration from your very own luxury tent. Sanctuary Kichakani is a mobile camp that follows the migration path through the Serengeti. The modern décor captures the explorer period of the 19th century in a contemporary way.

Surrounded by the untouched nature of East Africa, you have a front row seat to the Wildebeest Migration and other spectacular wildlife sightings. Enjoy memorable game drives and romantic sunsets with your partner or travel buddy.

• Close-up view of the Great Migration
• Amazing, year-round wildlife sightings

7. Legendary Lodge

Legendary Lodge  is a charming, elegant colonial-style boutique lodge in a working coffee estate. It's just outside  Arusha , making this an ideal start or end to your northern circuit safari. Tanzania's luxury safari lodges have earned their reputation through stunning locations and luxurious amenities. But above all, it's the warm, friendly hospitality that makes the luxury of this country lodge memorable. 

Enormous "cottages" have wrap-around verandahs surrounded by lush tropical gardens framed by Mount Meru, Tanzania's second-highest mountain. The amenities and facilities are comprehensively five-star, the dining is legendary (like the name suggests), and the service is attentive and heartfelt.

• Refined and elegant colonial-style country lodge on a working coffee estate
• Close to Arusha for a gentle start and end to your northern circuit safari
• Excellent food and an impressive range of activities and amenities
• Wellness treatments and day safaris to major national parks

Legendary Lodge has universal appeal as an Arusha-based layover for families, couples and solo travellers who value luxury, elegance and sophistication. The wellness spa, tennis, squash, jogging and cycling trails are just some of the options for getting the blood flowing after a long journey.

8. Dunia Camp

Next to the likes of Crater Lodge and Faru Faru,  Dunia Camp  might at first appear rather ordinary as Tanzania's luxury safari lodges go. Until you dig a little deeper, that is. Enjoying an elevated position among the Moru Kopjes, Dunia Camp is slap-bang in the middle of the Serengeti National Park, and it's a scenic area indeed. 

While Dunia Camp is a permanent lodge, its footprint is so light it looks, feels and acts like a mobile camp. Complete with the intimacy and excitement a mobile camp embodies, yet with some essential luxuries a mobile camp cannot. Its central position and secluded location make for excellent game viewing all year round. Furthermore, guided safaris are exceptional with this all-female team, and the camp comes into its own when the Great Migration passes through.

• Classic East Africa mobile-style tented safari camp run entirely by women
• The Great Migration reliably passes through camp twice a year
• Excellent year-round big cat and big game safaris
• Ultra-light eco-camp running off solar power, borehole water and supplies from the nearby villages

Dunia Camp is great for families with children over five years old, couples, groups and solo travellers wanting to experience the Great Migration as well as a classic Serengeti safari.

9. White Sand Luxury Villas & Spa

After your sensational tour of Tanzania's luxury safari lodges, it's time to reveal this magical country's final surprise: the tropical island of  Zanzibar . It's the stuff of dreams, with powder-soft white sands, warm azure water, glorious sunshine as well as eating, drinking, relaxing and having fun. 

White Sand Villas  is a Relais & Chateaux property that pretty much does what it says on the tin: enormous private villas surrounded by lush tropical gardens with that white sand underfoot. With a choice of restaurants, bars, lounges, pools and watersport activities, you'd need several nights here to make full use of the resort. And then there's the whole of Zanzibar Island to explore.

• Sophisticated and luxurious Zanzibar island resort
• Private, exclusive beachfront metres from your private villa
• Wellness centre and watersports centre for fun and relaxation
• Relais & Chateaux standards of service, fine dining, facilities and amenities

Zanzibar is as much about romance as it is about family fun and watersports adventure. White Sand Villas sets the stage for a glorious tropical island holiday of romantic escapes, family fun, group celebrations, solo adventure and wellness retreats.

10. Zuri Zanzibar Hotel and Resort

After sampling the best of Tanzania's luxury safari lodges, you'll want to end on a high note.  Zuri Zanzibar Hotel  is that high note. In fact, it's multiple high notes forming a farewell crescendo.

With a private beach and lagoon, luxurious beach huts and villas, fantastic food and a large range of amenities and facilities, Zuri is easily one of the best places to stay on the island.

• Fantastic food with a multicultural menu and a variety of dining venues
• Private beach and lagoon surrounded by magnificent gardens
