Luxury tented lodges combine the secluded, intimate atmosphere of tented camping with the modern conveniences of traditional lodging. Because of their spectacular, strategically planned scenic locations and first-class ammenities, luxury tented lodges offer a truly unique and unparalleled stay in the African wilderness. 

The lodges are constructed in such a way that they actually blend in with the surroundings, creating a tranquil and serene environment for guests. Breathtaking vistas are enjoyed from individual, private balconies or from the camp's dining area. Some tented lodges even offer private outdoor baths, camoflaged by the vegetation and strategic placement of the tent, while others may have open air waterfall showers for an exhilarating shower under African skies (feels amazing after a day's driving!)

Meals are something to be savored at luxury tented lodges. The chefs are experts in their field and will deftly concoct mouthwatering dishes using regional ingredients and recipes. Vegetarians will delight in the wide array of fresh fruit and vegetables used to create sumptuous, healthy meals that compliment the surroundings. Local wines and spirits are also available, and the staff can advise in food/beverage pairings. Once you've had your first meal at a luxury tented lodge you will be hooked. Stomachs rumble in anticipation of the delicious evening meal that follows a day's driving, and you will find yourself growing restless as you await a Masai warrior to escort you to the dining tent. Now's the time to unwind and savor the culinary delights of Tanzania!

Evenings bring a close group of guests together to repose under the stars and enjoy the sounds and smells brought on by African nightfall. It's simply not possible to describe the feel of the savannah wind as it gently glides across your arms, or the scent of the arid African plains at dusk. Both tented camping and private tented lodges offer the most intimate experience - for both nature and human interaction. It's a special gift to be able to share your day's safari around a campfire with a small group of people who share your passion for the land. There's nothing impersonal about either of these lodging options and we can honestly say that they truly assault all of the five senses in a wonderful way. 

In summary, luxury tented lodges are at the upper end of the price spectrum and completely merit their costs as they combine an intimate camping experience with the ulitimate in luxury. Enjoy!
