What types of safari accommodations are available?
There are quite a wide variety of accommodations available while on safari. Depending on the country visited, the types of safari accommodations include: lodges, permanent tented camps, mobile camps, and basic camping. Following is a brief description of each: Lodges–are essentially hotels in the bush. They accommodate between 100 and 200 people. They provide most of the amenities found in a hotel (e.g., restaurant, lounge, swimming pool, etc.). This is a good choice if you want to be comfortable and have certain creature comforts when you return from game viewing. Permanent Tented Camps–provide accommodations ranging from comfortable to luxurious. Most consist of large walk-in tents on elevated wooden platforms, with beds, chairs, furniture, and an en-suite bathroom with hot and cold water and flushing toilets. Permanent camps accommodate a smaller size group (20-30 people) than lodges, allowing a more personal interaction with the natural habitat.
