Lodges & Camps

Lodge or Camp
What´s the difference?

When you plan your safari, you read again and again that the accommodation takes place in lodges or camps. But what is it actually?

A lodge is comparable to a hotel, they are brick buildings, usually with a pool or spa area. According to the typical local design, the outer walls are often unglazed and open up to nature. Lodges are mostly ground-level and large-scale, often have many rooms and are therefore somewhat cheaper in terms of price. As a rule, they are located in enclosed areas and are monitored by security services. If you need a great sense of security, you will feel that you are in good hands in a lodge. Whether the amenities of a lodge are at the expense of the safari feeling, we leave it up to our guests to judge.

Lodges & Camps

Tented camps come in all variations, depending on your budget, and can by no means be compared to “tents” or “camping” as you may know it from European campsites. The tents are often larger than a hotel room. With its own hot shower and toilet according to european standards in the tent. Depending on the price, simple, clean and functional in the equipment, up to extremely luxurious with its own butler service.

Tented camps are smaller and more individual than a lodge. Most of them are also unfenced, so wild animals move through the camp at night. If you move to or from the dining tent in the dark, or otherwise outside your tent accommodation, you will always be accompanied by a member of the camp staff. All this together gives you the authentic feeling of being in the african bush.

Despite all the originalities , there are camps that offer you the convenience of a pool.
