Camping means a tent, usually at a public or special campsite, with a crew that sets up camp and cooks. A lodge or tented camp means a fixed room, a bed, and a bathroom. The game drives can be the same. The evening is different. Camping is the lower joining rate. Lodges are the midrange cards.
How Kilita plans it
A 4-day Serengeti, Tarangire, and Ngorongoro camping safari is $850 joining or $1,100 private. The 4-day midrange tented-lodge version of a Serengeti and Ngorongoro trip is $1,100 joining or $1,400 private. Camping suits travellers who do not mind a shared wash block and an early, simple camp. A lodge suits anyone who wants a private room after a long drive. Ask which campsite or lodge is named for each night.
What to do next
- Same parks can sit on either a camping or a lodge quote.
- Ask if the tent is a public campsite or a furnished camp.
- Lodges must be named, not described as 'similar'.
- Camping gear should be listed if you are not bringing your own.
