Staying in luxury Serengeti lodges and unique tented camps is one of the many highlights of traveling in Tanzania. There truly is something to suit every traveler. From permanent structures in the middle of the Serengeti to tented luxury safari camps for an unforgettable experience in the wild. But how do you know what’s best for your trip to Africa? We’re here to help! At Tanzania Specialist, we have spent years carefully curating the very best Serengeti lodges and other unique Tanzania accommodation options.

Serengeti lodges or camps: which is best?

Whether you choose to stay in a luxury Serengeti lodge or you opt for a tented camp, you can be assured that you will be treated to a comfortable, safe and, most importantly, unforgettable experience in the Serengeti. Serengeti lodges are permanent structures in national parks. Often located on vast land areas, they offer privacy and unbeatable comfort for those looking for a more luxurious taste of the Serengeti.

Tented camps also offer a luxurious experience – albeit with a few more basic facilities. All Serengeti camping accommodation with Makini Tanzania Safaris comes with a private tent and en suite bathroom facilities. The walls may be thin, but they offer a deeply immersive experience of the Tanzanian wild.

Uncompromised comfort in a permanent safari lodge. A private tented resort that’s a little off the beaten track. Sleeping in the Serengeti is the experience of a lifetime. Are you still unsure of what kind of trip would suit your best? Or would you like to combine a tented safari with a luxury lodge? Get in touch
