Hotels in Moshi and Arusha generally provide breakfast only, unless other meal plans have been confirmed in advance.
Most safari lodges do not automatically include drinks such as coffee, tea, soft drinks, or alcohol, to avoid unnecessary charges. You’re welcome to order beverages from the lodge restaurants and pay on-site.
Tented lodges are the standard accommodation type in the savannah. Many rely on solar power, which may mean bucket showers, limited internet access, and no hair dryers. This eco-friendly setup helps preserve the natural environment. We recommend researching the listed accommodations in advance to ensure they match your expectations and comfort preferences.
