Stay in style: Tanzania's best lodges
For such a vast area, there are relatively few places to stay in mainland Tanzania, and there is a huge gulf in the centre of the market. Luckily, if you want to stay in a superb luxury lodge, there are plenty of options. Here's our pick of the best.
&Beyond Klein’s Camp
Superlative guided game drives on a large private concession bordering the Serengeti are matched by the beautifully decorated and well-appointed hillside cottages.
Manyara Ranch
In a wildlife corridor linking Lake Manyara and Tarangire National Parks, this exclusive camp offers excellent guided game walks and night drives.
Sayari Camp
This stylish and wonderfully sited small camp in the Northern Serengeti is ideally placed to catch wildebeest crossings of the Mara in migration season.
Lamai Serengeti
This ultra-luxurious lodge straddles a group of well-wooded rocky outcrops in a part of the northern Serengeti famed for its large lion prides.
&Beyond Ngorongoro Crater Lodge
The last word in over-the-top decor, this extraordinary lodge on the edge of the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater brings Baroque to the African bush.
Chumbe Island
Enjoy a bush lodge feel combined with a beach setting on a small private island whose offshore reefs offer some of the finest snorkelling in East Africa.
Greystoke Mahale
Chimp tracking is the main attraction at this exclusive lodge on the shores of Lake Tanganyika, but it also has a wonderful desert-island ambience, and other forest wildlife is plentiful.
Throughout December, we'll be focusing on the unique things you can see and do in Tanzania, from climbing Mount Kilimanjaro to the country's best beaches. Read all of our blog articles about Tanzania...
