The 5 Best Safari Lodges In Tanzania
1. The Highlands
Firstly, the spectacular Asilia Highlands has a cutting-edge design. With dome suites that strike a perfect balance between a true wilderness experience and a high-style, contemporary escape. Domes have wood-burning stoves and mountain views. Adventures include game drives in the Ngorongoro Crater, community and cultural visits. Finally, hiking along Maasai cattle trails or talks with a renowned lion researcher.
2. Gibb’s Farm
Established as a coffee farm in the late 1920s, Gibb’s Farm was one of the first guesthouses in Northern Tanzania. Now, the lovely old building still retains its colonial feel with beautiful gardens to stroll through. Finally, feast on organic produce straight from the lodge’s farm, explore centuries-old waterfalls and elephant caves or take a mountain bike day trip to Rotia, spotting wildlife along the way.
3. Faru Faru Lodge
Yet another incredible lodge on Singita’s private reserve, Faru Faru is an easy-going lodge in the heart of the Serengeti. A natural watering hole attracts predators and prey right up to the lodge, so you don’t even have to leave the camp. In addition to two swimming pools, a fire pit under the stars for evening chats and classic rooms with comfy beds are also available.
4. Sasakwa Lodge
From infinity swimming pools that appear to float out over the plain, to guided equestrian tours and balloon safaris, Singita Sasakwa Lodge is an Edwardian manor house with nine private cottages and a villa, each with a private infinity pool. The butler-serviced suite includes its own game vehicle, Field Guide, “bar-deli” and exclusive in-room dining. What more could you possibly need?
5. Sabora Tented Camp
In conclusion, this intimate 1920s-style explorer’s camp is full of old-world charm yet has all the modern touches you expect from a five-star lodge. The nine lavish tents are air-conditioned and feature a spacious bedroom with reading area, bathroom with bath and outdoor shower, viewing deck with a Swarovski spotting scope, and a library lounge tent lined with antique and rare volumes of African literature.
