You can stay in luxury tented camps on the Serengeti plains, mobile camps that move with the Great Migration, lodges perched on the Ngorongoro Crater rim, riverside camps in Tarangire and forest lodges near Lake Manyara. Many travelers finish at a luxury Zanzibar beach resort or boutique hotel for rest and relaxation.

The best luxury camps are found in the Serengeti, especially the central Seronera area, the northern Mara River region and Ndutu in calving season. Ngorongoro Crater has excellent rim lodges, while Tarangire and Lake Manyara offer beautiful camps and lodges. In the south, Ruaha and Nyerere provide remote, exclusive luxury camps.

Luxury camps and lodges combine five-star comfort with a true wilderness atmosphere. Expect spacious tents or suites, private decks, plunge pools, gourmet dining, attentive staff and wildlife often visible from your room. Their prime locations mean shorter drives to sightings and more time enjoying the best game viewing.

The best time is June to October, the dry season, when wildlife gathers near water and the Great Migration crosses rivers in the northern Serengeti. January to March is ideal for calving season in Ndutu. The green season offers lush scenery, fewer vehicles and lower rates, though some camps close during the April and May rains.

A luxury tented camp uses large canvas tents with proper beds, en-suite bathrooms and private decks, offering an intimate, close-to-nature experience. A lodge has permanent stone or wooden buildings, often with more facilities such as pools and spas. Both can be very luxurious; the choice depends on your style and preferred atmosphere.

Mobile migration camps are seasonal luxury tented camps that relocate during the year to stay close to the Great Migration herds in the Serengeti. They offer comfortable tents, en-suite bathrooms and excellent food, while placing you near the action for river crossings or calving season. Wildlife movements vary, so sightings are never guaranteed.

Most luxury camp safaris last 6 to 12 days. Staying two or three nights at each camp reduces packing and travel, and gives you time to enjoy the setting. Fly-in safaris between camps save long drives, and many travelers add three to five nights at a luxury Zanzibar beach resort.

Most luxury camps include accommodation, all meals, many drinks, laundry and scheduled game activities, though inclusions vary by property. With Foot Slopes Tours and Safaris, your package typically also covers park fees, private guiding, transfers and fly-in flights where booked. Every quote clearly lists inclusions and any extras, such as premium drinks or spa treatments.

The cost depends on the camps selected, season, trip length, internal flights and group size. Exclusive camps in prime migration areas during peak season cost more, while green season travel can offer valuable savings. Park fees are set by the authorities and change, so we provide a clear, detailed quote for your preferred camps.

Yes. Many luxury camps offer family tents, connecting suites and child-friendly activities, while others specialize in romantic honeymoon experiences with private dinners, secluded tents and plunge pools. Some camps have minimum age limits, so we match each property to your travel group and interests.

Yes. Luxury tented camps are safe when you follow staff instructions. Many camps are unfenced so wildlife can move freely, which is why staff escort guests to and from their tents after dark. Tents have secure zips, emergency radios or whistles, and camps have experienced staff and emergency plans in place.

Pack neutral-colored, lightweight clothing, a warm layer for early mornings and evenings, a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, insect repellent, binoculars and a camera. Soft-sided bags are required on light aircraft, with weight limits. Speak with your doctor or a travel clinic about vaccinations and malaria prevention before traveling.

You can travel between camps by private 4x4 vehicle with your guide, enjoying game drives along the way, or by light aircraft on a fly-in safari. Flying saves time and reaches remote camps quickly, while driving offers more wildlife viewing. Many travelers combine both for the best balance of comfort and adventure.
