Best Places To Stay In Tanzania

It is not new to travelers anymore that Tanzania is one of Africa’s classic safari destinations. The accommodation options of luxury safari lodges, remote tented camps and popular safari hotels make most of the recommendation list for a foreign tourist. The top accommodation in Tanzania includes mobile camps following the wildebeest migration advances, properties perfect for families or groups traveling together, superb luxury lodges tucked away for the most romantic safari honeymoon, and breath-taking beach lodges on the tropical islands. 

Foreign travelers who come to Tanzania normally climb the Mt. Kilimanjaro, indulge in wildlife safari and a handful of them visit Zanzibar islands, and some even on historical tour to Stone Town. Tanzania has a vast infrastructure of hotels, lodges, resorts and luxury tent camps that cater to the need of every kind of traveler. The best places to stay in Tanzania depends on what a traveler is looking for, that is, price or comfort. Prices of accommodation vary differently in different locations and also with the season that you are traveling. While there are from very highly expensive hotels to rather very cheap lodges in most cities and towns, the rural areas are deprived of luxury accommodation options. These are the various categories of hotels and lodges in Tanzania for tourists:
