Select Lodges

Lodges and hotels come and go. Some are part of the history of Northern Tanzania, some pioneering efforts to respect as a major contribution to good tourism practices. I personally recommend the ones selected and know their owners/managers well. Staying in these wonderful places between camping safaris is a wonderful change, but also a safari that visits only these select lodges will still be an intimate insight into this land blessed with natural beauty. Yes, spoil yourself.
