Safari Accommodation Options

Arusha
Situated in the fertile southern foothills of Mount Meru lies the bustling town of Arusha. Known as the “safari capital” of Tanzania, Arusha is the most popular and convenient place from which to explore the legendary northern game viewing parks and conservation areas as well as the world famous Mount Kilimanjaro. For our guests arriving after long international flights, we recommend an overnight in Arusha prior to heading off on safari. Accommodation options in Arusha range from rustic hostels to luxurious plantation lodges.

Lake Manyara
The Great Rift Valley supports a chain of shallow mineral-rich lakes. The most accessible and popular of these is Lake Manyara. The area is supported by a number of lodges and camps, most of which run along the escarpment above the lake, allowing for lovely views across the floor of the Rift Valley. 

Tarangire 
As with the other parks/reserves along the northern safari circuit, Tarangire is serviced by a range of lodges and camps to suit most tastes. There are a number of places to stay inside Tarangire National Park as well as many choices outside the park, varying from simplistic to luxurious. 

Ngorongoro Crater
Ngorongoro is a fascinating and unusual conservation area which includes the phenomena of the Ngorongoro Crater at its centre. There are four lodges perched on the crater rim, all offering superb views to the crater floor. Less expensive options are further away from the rim of the crater, and offer beautiful scenery in their own right. Accommodations range from basic to exclusive - something for everyone.

Serengeti
Scattered throughout Serengeti National Park is a range of lodge and tented camp accommodation, each offering a unique experience to suit all tastes from intimate to adventurous. Warrior Trails can recommend accommodations based on their location to the best seasonal wildlife viewing sites in this vast ecosystem.

Kilimanjaro
The western side of the highest freestanding mountain in the world provides exhilarating views and wild terrain. This is one of the most dramatically beautiful settings in East Africa with some excellent permanent and seasonal tented camp options offering stunning views of Kilimanjaro.
