The different types of accommodation available when going on an African Safari holiday can vary greatly. You can opt to stay in a boutique lodge, where you will be waited on and all your meals cooked for you to getting closer to nature and staying in a 2 man pop up tent, where you can literally hear the animals breathing!
The two types of accommodation are worlds apart but both offer exceptional experiences, it just all depends on what you are looking for. If you prefer the luxuries and the mod cons then opt for the lodge but if you want something that is a little more exhilarating then the tent may be for you. If you have the opportunity, then try and experience both at some point, only this way can you get a true comparison and make your own mind up which you prefer. If you are going to try both on the same trip, then make sure you do the tent stay first! As going from a luxury lodge to a tent may seem a bit of an anti climax!
