The Top Five Travel Hotels and Lodges in Northern Tanzania for 2024
Finished in June 2012, Nomad's Lamai had been a pretty long time coming but the wait has definitely been worthwhile. Located on the very scenic Wogakuria Kopjes, around 30 minutes from the Mara River crossings, the camp could not have better views and location in our opinion. Featuring an infinity...

The Highlands Camp is one of a kind! Inspired by the shape of the traditional Maasai homes (called bomas), eight dome tents were built and placed delicately on the slopes of the Olmoti volcano, taking full advantage of the breathtakingly vast views. The dome suites not only offer a unique and...

Tarangire Treetops is a cool and quirky property and is our pick of where to stay at the top end around Tarangire. It is true that it is not right inside the park and so doesn't feature as good game...but it does offer exceptional service and the chance to sleep in a baobab tree house which, in...

Meaning ‘circle’ in a dialect of Masai, ‘Entamanu’ seems a fitting name for a camp that sits on the rim of the rounded Ngorongoro Crater. Opening its doors in August 2016, Entamanu is one of the newest properties on the rim owned by Nomad's, and is sat on the remote northwestern rim of the crater....

Named after the infamous guide and naturalist, Paul Oliver, Olivers Camp really is a camp to savour. Originally located a little further north, the camp is, today, located well away from the madding crowd and really is a top choice. What this luxury tented camp offers is the chance to really...

As discussed in the Ngorongoro Sopa review, often the choice at the crater is whether to pay for the view (by staying on the crater rim) or for the accommodation (staying in the Highlands). In the case of staying in the Highlands, then we recommend Plantation Lodge. This great little lodge is set...

As one of the smartest, and largest properties in the Serengeti, the Four Seasons Safari Lodge really does have it all. Its location, in the heart of the Seronera region, offers reliable game viewing throughout the year and is a perfect base with simply stunning accommodation and facilities. One of...

Located right up on the Mara River, Sayari Camp is definitely one of our favourite camps in the Serengeti and is perfect for those looking to experience the Migration herds in the July to October window, when the herds are mingling around this area. a beautiful camp, everything has been thought of...

One of a new breed of property that has opened up in the corridor that runs between Lake Manyara National Park and Tarangire National Park, Chem Chem is definitely aimed at the top end of the market and is definitely worth considering for those that have a little more time on their safari and who...

In the debate of whether to stay on the rim or in the Ngorongoro Highlands, the Ngorongoro Sopa is probably the place that we would opt for for those that don't have the budget to stay in the Crater Lodge. Located on the eastern side of the rim, the Sopa, while not overly luxurious really benefits...

One of two Sanctuary properties in the northern part of Tanzania, Swala Safari Camp is consistent with their standards across Africa. Vying with Tarangire Treetops for the accolade of “bush-chic” property of Tarangire, its location inside the park probably just gives them the edge. With a central...

Very much the new boy on the block, Neptune Ngorongoro Luxury Lodge is already taking the accolades for being the highest specification property in the Ngorongoro Highlands at the best price possible. Due to its location right at the entrance to the park, and the fact it is about half the price of...

Another of the new properties that has appeared in the game management corridor in between Tarangire NP and Manyara NP, Maramboi is aimed at the lower end of the market to its two neighbours, Chem Chem and Manyara Ranch. This is, however, a very good option for those that are keen on visiting...

Located in a private conservancy in the western Serengeti, Faru Faru boasts an exclusive and ultimate luxury safari experience. While the price tag is slightly higher than some of its contemporaries, it’s main trump card is that there is nobody else here and, as such, at times, you can feel like...

The sister camp to Sayari, Olakira Migration Camp is the roving alternative and, like Nomads, is a mobile tented camp. With this comes the flexibility and reliability of being near the game...but the drawback of losing some of the comfort of a permanent camp. Olakira stays up in the very north of...

After bursting onto the safari circuit in 2007, Onsea House has really shaken up the regular Arusha options and is still very much leading the way as far as we are concerned. This quaint little guesthouse is located on the way out of Arusha and looks out to the slopes of Mount Meru. Warmly managed...

Opened in 2007 Singita Sasakwa Lodge and its sister camps, Faru Faru and Sabora, really shook the higherarchy of the Serengeti up in a big way. Set in the crook of the Serengeti, just above the Grumeti and Central Serengeti regions of the park, they are actually set in the private Grumeti Reserves...

A brand new addition to the safari circuit of the northern Serengeti, Lemala Kuria Hills offers a very realistic and slightly less expensive (by a short way!) alternative to the permanent camps of Sayari and Nomad Lamai. Finished in July 2013, this luxury tented camp is certainly the flagship...

Sitting next to its sister property, Onsea House, Machweo House is a beautifully elegant guesthouse overlooking the slopes of Mount Meru.

Meaning ‘big cats’ in Swahili, Namiri Plains Camp is the perfect place to see the wild predators of the Serengeti. The area (sat on the eastern border of the Serengeti) was previously a cheetah conservation and today, not only is it regarded one of the most densely populated cheetah regions in East...

Alex Walker’s Serian Camp is certainly how we would opt to spend our time in the bush. Hosted and occasionally guided by the camp’s namesake, Alex, this is a quality bush camp where the attention is not to airconditioning and massage treatments but to game viewing and the overall safari experience...
