Tanzania accommodation guide

Wild landscapes, beautifully considered.

Tanzania rewards travellers with extraordinary variety. Arusha is the gateway to the northern safari circuit, where coffee estates, Mount Meru and thoughtfully designed lodges create a graceful beginning or ending to a journey. Tarangire brings large elephant herds, baobab-studded plains and intimate camps, while Lake Manyara and Karatu offer a softer highland transition towards the Ngorongoro Crater.

Further west, the Serengeti unfolds in distinct moods. The southern plains are associated with calving season and the Great Migration, the central region offers exceptional year-round game viewing, the western corridor follows the Grumeti ecosystem, and the north is famed for dramatic river crossings. In the south, Nyerere and Ruaha deliver a more private, untamed safari experience, with boating, walking and wild landscapes at the centre of the story.

Finish on the coast with Mafia Island for whale shark encounters and barefoot tranquillity, or Zanzibar for Indian Ocean beaches, spice history, dhow sailing and restorative days by the sea.
