Tanzania offers a diverse range of accommodation options that cater to every type of traveler—from luxury seekers to adventurous backpackers. Whether you’re tracking wildlife on safari, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, or relaxing on the beaches of Zanzibar, you’ll find a place to stay that matches your needs, style, and budget.

Luxury Safari Lodges

For travelers seeking elegance and exclusivity in the wild, Tanzania’s luxury safari lodges deliver a five-star experience in the heart of nature. These lodges are often located in private concessions or inside national parks like Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire. Expect world-class service, gourmet meals, infinity pools overlooking the savannah, and stylish suites with breathtaking views. Many come with private butlers, spa facilities, and curated game drive experiences.

Luxury Tented Camps

Luxury tented camps offer a perfect blend of comfort and immersion in the wild. These are not ordinary tents—they feature real beds, en-suite bathrooms, wooden floors, and even chandeliers. You’ll fall asleep to the sounds of nature and wake up to sunrise views over the plains. Popular in Serengeti, Ndutu, and Ruaha, these camps provide a true “Out of Africa” feeling without sacrificing modern comfort.

Mid-Range Lodges & Camps

Mid-range accommodations offer great value for travelers who want comfort without extravagance. These lodges and permanent camps often include private rooms or tents with en-suite bathrooms, hot showers, and full-board meals. Located within or near national parks, they provide a warm atmosphere, quality guiding, and authentic Tanzanian hospitality. They are a popular choice for families, couples, and small groups on safari.

Budget Campsites & Guesthouses

For adventurous and budget-conscious travelers, Tanzania offers public and private campsites in and around most national parks. These sites range from basic to semi-serviced, with shared facilities and simple dining areas. Guesthouses in towns like Arusha, Moshi, and Karatu also offer affordable lodging with basic amenities, making them ideal for backpackers or travelers with limited time.

Beach Resorts and Boutique Hotels

On the Tanzanian coast and the islands of Zanzibar, Pemba, and Mafia, you’ll find a wide variety of beach resorts, boutique hotels, and private villas. From romantic bungalows on the sand to elegant oceanfront resorts with spas and pools, there’s something for everyone. Many offer all-inclusive packages, fresh seafood cuisine, and a range of water activities, including snorkeling, diving, and dhow cruises.

Trekking Camps on Mount Kilimanjaro

During a Kilimanjaro climb, accommodation is simple and functional, designed for high-altitude conditions. On routes like Machame, Lemosho, and Rongai, trekkers sleep in four-season tents provided by the trekking company. Porters carry and pitch the tents, while meals are served in communal dining tents. On the Marangu route, accommodation is in shared mountain huts with bunk beds. Though basic, these setups are comfortable and part of the adventure.

City Hotels and Lodges

Cities like Arusha, Moshi, and Dar es Salaam offer a wide selection of hotels for pre- or post-safari stays. These range from boutique lodges surrounded by lush gardens to modern international hotels with business facilities. Many safari itineraries include one or two nights in these cities to help travelers rest and prepare for their adventure.
