Game Lodges:
Game Lodges in or close to, the National Parks and Game Reserves of Tanzania are built of local raw materials to blend harmoniously with their surroundings. They vary from simple bandas with a local style to luxury hotels in the wild. Rooms are comfortable with one twin or two single beds and private bath or shower en suite. Common facilities include lounges, dining room and bar, but most of them have swimming pools and some overlook floodlit waterholes for nocturnal game viewing. In warm and dry places, the dining room and bar areas are situated on wide, open verandas, whilst at higher and cooler altitudes lodges are glassed in and many have log fires in the evenings. |
Tented Camps:
To have an impression of being close to Africa, in true safari style, we recommend a few nights stay under canvas in the African bush. Tented Safari Camps offer a surprisingly high, even luxurious, standard of comfort and personal service. Spacious insect proofed tents are provided with twin beds, private bath or shower and flush toilet. Full dining and bar facilities are in central tents or in attractive open buildings. A feature of most Safari Camps is the welcoming campfire, out in the open, under the African starlit sky. |
Campsites: These are similar to the Tented camps in that accommodation is in canvas tents. The campsite only offers camping grounds, Tap, Bathrooms and sometimes a cooking area, the rest, with the help of our highly experienced drivers and guides, clients are able to set up in a few minutes. The guide in our camping safaris is usually a qualified chef, so all their meals are well prepared throughout the safari. Planet safaris will provide all the camping equipment.

Rooms: Check out time is 10.00 hours a.m., and rooms are normally not available until after noon. If early arrival is anticipated rooms should be reserved from the preceding night. Day rooms, which are normally charged at 75%, are only available until 18.00 hrs. (6 p.m.) after which the full overnight charge must be paid. |
Meals, Food and Drinks:
In general the food in Tanzania, is simple and palatable. Food is fresh and locally produced, including fish, seafood and exotic tropical fruits. Curries are a traditional feature on Sundays. For clients with special dietary requirements, arrangements can be made if advised prior to arrival, but should bring their own supplies when visiting Tanzania. Drink selections are good, including premium brands and imported wines. Tap water in urban centers is often potable, but water for drinking is generally provided in flaks when on safari. Clients are advised to drink only this or mineral water which is readily available. |
