Our Top Five hotels & lodges for Family Safaris in Tanzania for 2025:
The first of the camps catering to the top end of the market, Siwandu Camp (formerly Selous Safari Camp) offers great value for money and is ideal for those that want this level of luxury and service but without the price tag. Comparatively, it arguably doesn't live up to the safari standards of...

The grand dame of the Selous Safari circuit, along with Beho Beho, Sand Rivers Selous is the longest running safari camp and is also, still, one of the best. One of the major selling points is the location....set right on the banks of the Rufiji River, it is possible to sip a G&T looking both...

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...

The only camp that is set right at the bottom of the park, Jongomero Camp, sister camp to the great Selous Safari Camp, is probably the smartest lodge in Ruaha. It is also the only lodge in the park at this level that has a swimming pool that, in a Ruaha summer time, is an absolute Godsend! Where...

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...

Sat in the remote southeastern area of the Serengeti, Kusini Camp overlooks the peaceful game-filled plains that impress throughout the year. As the only permanent camp in the southern plains, the camp offers very reasonable and comfortable accommodation with 12 tents spaciously placed in the...

Located over to the eastern edge of the main game viewing area, Selous Impala Camp is still privately owned and, especially in low season when it drops its rates and offers a 4th night for free, offers very good value for money. Impala has definitely grown to be one of our favourite properties over...

With out doubt the best accommodation in Dar es Salaam, the Oyster Bay Hotel was opened in late 2007 and has ruled the roost ever since, in our view. Owned and managed by the fantastic guys at Beho Beho (in the Selous), they have thought of just about everything in the hotel from the rooms to the...

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...

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...

One of the original small, boutique hotels on the island, the Shooting Star Lodge has still managed to maintain a great ambience and laid back approach to beach life! Set up on a cliff, many who come here tend to opt more for pool than beach, but this is not to say that they don’t have a great...

Of the &Beyond properties Lake Manyara Tree Lodge is probably our favourite. It might not have the sheer wow factor of the Crater Lodge, or the luxury of Klein's Camp, but Lake Manyara Tree Lodge offers stunning seclusion and a real immersion in your surroundings that is rare for safari camps...

The only real competitor to Sayari camp and the other Asilia camps in northern Tanzania, Nomad Serengeti Camp has really led the way for the last 15 years or so in the Serengeti. Moving seasonally through the year, according to the movement of the herds, the camp is a bit more of a basic affair...

Serengeti Migration Camp is situated in the thin column of the Serengeti that runs between the Seronera, in the centre, and the Lamia Wedge, in the north, the game around Serengeti Migration camp can be a little unpredictable...but we still think it is worth a look and, as far as the accommodation...

One of the older properties on the island, Ras Nungwi has long benefitted from being the last hotel on the coast up here and so has a stunning and secluded beach. As with many beaches around the headland, there is not much on offer at high tide, and quite a bit at low tide, but they do still have,...

Without doubt the legend that is the Ngorongoro Crater Lodge is still far and away the place to stay if you are looking for both jaw-dropping luxury as well as a jaw-dropping experience at the Ngorongoro Crater. The first thing that astounds when you arrive here is that it sits right on the edge of...

One of the new properties to be built in the Ngorongoro Highlands, Kitela Lodge is a sister property to the nearby and much larger, Ngorongoro Farmhouse. The main entrance to Kitela is fairly underwhelming until you arrive at the front doors where you are confronted by the view through the property...

Set in a small range of hills that run north from the central, Seronera River valley, Kati Kati is a simple tented camp that caters for drive in only clients. This is a well placed camp and offers a simple experience right in the heart of the park. It is true that this region can become busy in the...

This quirky little beach property keeps going from strength to strength and is, today, one of our favourite destinations on the island! Owned and managed by Sue and Andrew, their attention to detail is present throughout…from the well appointed and comfortable rooms to the orderly and very good...

Set right on the northern most point of Matemwe, Kasha Boutique Hotel has brought something slightly different to the beach hotels on the island. First of all, being located where it is has allowed them much more room than many of the other new properties. This has allowed Kasha to space the...
