Camping or Lodge Based Safaris! What You Need to Know?
Tanzania safari accommodation during your safari varies depending on their level of comfortability. Most of your choices may fall into budget, mid-range and luxury accommodation. Best and enjoyable safari, we recommend choosing either mid-range or luxury accommodation, but this should be if you can manage the cost. This is the vital point because, after a long dusty road, one will need a cool oasis of a mid-range or luxury accommodation to make your stay another level of best experience. Here one can enjoy watching the African animals come and go from the bar, a cocktail at hand reach. 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!
Luxury Accommodation
It’s quite literally the 5-star treatment in the heart of the bush; everything from private en-suite bathrooms with hot showers to gourmet meals, swimming pools, and lavish lounges. Topi adventure Tours selects the best-tented camps for our safari packages. Tented camps on decks are designed to blend seamlessly with nature and to leave only a minimal footprint in sensitive eco-systems. Camps are placed strategically in game parks for the best wildlife viewing while offering comfortable and luxurious accommodation.

Mid-range
These semi-luxury camping safaris are for those who like their space and privacy but can do without the higher end fixings.
Mid-range camping tents are dome-shaped walk-in canvas tents with separate private facilities (toilet and bucket showers) al fresco style. These tents are furnished with comfortable camp beds with a mattress, sleeping bag and pillow, and stool for a lamp. You are well looked after by a cook and a guide/driver, and enjoy private use of the wilderness campsites in the conservation areas. Three delicious meals are prepared for you daily by your cook, with beautiful fresh ingredients that are simmered in a cast iron pot over coals, to be enjoyed under the canopy of stars. Camping equipment is transported by a towed trailer. Luggage space is limited. A backpack or duffel bag of 15 kg per person is allowed.

Lake Manyara &Tarangire National Park
1: Haven Nature camp
2: Fanaka camp
If you stay at Haven Nature you will be staying in a fixed tent with an attached bathroom. Camping at Fanaka will be in a regular tent although private rooms with a fan and a shower are available on request. We normally use Haven Nature if its available
Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater
1: simba campsite
2: seronera campsite
As the Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater are more remote the camping here is more basic and we make use of the public campsites maintained by the park service. They have shared bathrooms and shower facilities. Nothing fancy here but the setting is amazing. If your safari includes these parks you will also be accompanied by a camp cook who will prepare your meals for you.
