When selecting suitable safari accommodation, several factors come to mind: budget, value for money, and comfort. To help you make an informed decision, we have outlined a guide to mid-luxury lodges in Tanzania, ensuring you find a lodge or camp that fits your requirements.
Characteristics of Mid-Luxury Lodges in Tanzania
Mid-luxury lodges are conveniently located for easy access to safari or beach areas that are must-visits. Some are inside national parks, others are located in towns like Karatu, Naivasha, or Nakuru, or bordering parks and within concessions like Maasai Mara or Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs) in Tanzania. The location of these lodges can impact your overall travel expenses from one destination to another.
Price Range
The price per night for most mid-luxury camps and lodges ranges from $200 to $400 per person for those inside or near national parks. For lodges in cities like Nairobi, Arusha, or Dar es Salaam, rates start from $100 per person per night.
Comfort and Amenities
These accommodations are comparable to 3-4 star lodgings, offering comfortable settings, en suite facilities, and amenities catered to the tourism market. They are typically spacious and provide a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.
