LUXURY ACCOMMODATION
FOR YOUR SAFARI

We know you’re dreaming of epic wildlife encounters and breathtaking landscapes. You’re likely busy researching the best Kenya tour packages or perhaps diving deep into Tanzania safari packages. But amidst all the excitement, a crucial question often pops up: “Where will I sleep? Do I choose a lodge, a camp, or a hotel? And what about the cost of accommodation in Kenya, or the cost of accommodation in Tanzania?”

At Twinkle Star Tours & Safaris, we get it. Your lodging should be more than just a place to rest; it should be an unforgettable experience that enriches every moment of your journey. That’s why we’ve personally handpicked every accommodation, each offering a unique ambiance and character, ensuring your stay is as extraordinary as the safari itself.

Lodges, Camps, and Hotels: Deciphering Your Perfect Stay

So, what’s the difference, and which is right for you?

• Lodges typically offer more permanent structures with solid walls, often resembling traditional hotels with various amenities like swimming pools, spacious restaurants, and even spas. They provide a sense of comfort and often a wider range of facilities, making them a great choice for those seeking a more traditional resort-like experience amidst the wilderness.
• Tented Camps, on the other hand, offer an incredibly immersive “under canvas” experience. Don’t think basic camping. These are often luxurious, spacious tents with proper beds, en-suite bathrooms (sometimes even hot bucket showers for that authentic bush feel), and private verandas. They bring you closer to the sights and sounds of the wild, offering a more intimate connection with nature. You’ll find everything from mid-range comfortable options to ultra-luxury camps with personal butlers.
• Hotels are generally found in urban centers like Nairobi, Arusha, Dar Es Salaam, and along coastal areas like Mombasa and Zanzibar. They provide the familiar comforts and conveniences of city living, perfect for pre- or post-safari stays, or for exploring the vibrant local culture.

We cater to every budget and style, ensuring your accommodation enhances your overall adventure. From basic campsites that offer the most authentic, budget-friendly connection to nature, to lavish 5-star lodges and camps that define luxury in the wild, we’ll help you navigate the options and find exactly what you’re looking for.
