Accommodation is more than a place to sleep. Location affects how early you can begin a game drive, how much transfer time you lose and how deeply you feel connected to the landscape. Tanzania offers everything from simple hotels to sophisticated tented camps inside major wildlife areas. For Todo Wild travelers, the most useful way to think about Tanzania safari accommodation is to connect the information to a real itinerary.
