A Guide to Choosing Safari Accommodation with Great Image Expedition
Make the most of your Tanzanian safari adventure—one lodge at a time.
When planning a safari in Tanzania, it’s easy to focus on the wildlife and scenery—but where you stay can transform your entire journey. At Great Image Expedition, we understand that accommodation is not just about a place to sleep—it’s about enhancing the entire safari experience. From the comfort of a clean budget room to the indulgence of a private plunge pool overlooking the Serengeti, each type of accommodation brings its own magic.
In this in-depth guide, we help you navigate your options, so you can choose the perfect safari stay tailored to your travel style and budget.
Why Safari Accommodation Matters
Your days may be spent tracking lions or watching elephants gather at watering holes, but your nights—and how you unwind—are just as important. The right lodge or camp does more than provide a bed. It immerses you in nature, brings you close to local culture, and offers a front-row seat to Africa’s breathtaking beauty.
That’s why Great Image Expedition offers a carefully curated range of accommodations, divided into four categories: Budget, Mid-range, Luxury, and High-end. Let’s explore what each one entails and how to choose the best option for your safari.
