Lodge Safari
Do you want to spend your Tanzania Safari staying in a Lodge on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater or in the middle of the wildlife world providing a high level of facilities in different ranks? The advantage of a lodge safari is you’ll get more opportunities to stay inside the National Parks overnight so you’ll be in the middle of the wildlife experience from dusk till dawn.
The well known and respected lodges of Elewana, Ndutu, Mbalageti and many more will make your safari more comfortable due to the excellent facilities offered by them within the National Wildlife Parks and Game Reserves.
Below you’ll find an example of a Lodge itinerary. If you want to know more about a Lodge safari, visiting other National Parks please contact us for the more information.
