Solving the hotel and safari lodge dilemma

Article Category: Travel

Know more about this alternative tourist accommodation

The increasing number of tourists interested in experiencing Africa's diverse wildlife has brought about some changes in the economy of the continent. In order for the residents to entice tourists to visit their national parks and conservation areas, they have to make sure that they meet their customer's preferences. As most of them come from developed countries, they are not very used to harsh conditions. Therefore, park managers should come up with the idea of combining comfort and the unique experience. Hence, they've introduced the safari lodge.

What is it?

The safari lodge is a tourist accommodation popular in the eastern and southern parts of Africa. They are built near the national parks or conservation areas to provide accessibility to those who went to Africa for a safari tour.

Are they different from hotels?

For frequent travelers, tours often come with a set itinerary and an equivalent number of days and nights stay in the hotel. This is the same with the safari lodge. However, the two are different for the following reasons:

Hotels are located in cities and conspicuous places, while lodges are located on isolated and rural areas - even underdeveloped regions in Africa have cities, and this is where hotels are built so as to provide accessibility to establishments. Lodges are different, since they are located away from the city and closer to the park or reserves. Therefore, those who stay at a lodge don't have to go back and forth the safari and the hotel repeatedly.

Hotels can accommodate more people as compared to the lodge. The idea of the hotel is to build a large structure that is divided into rooms where people can spend the day/night. Although the lodge can also provide a place for the tourist to stay, the number of people that they can accommodate is limited. This is due to the fact that they are providing an actual rented "house" where the tourist can stay. It's like living in a community near the park or reserve.

Some amenities in the hotel are shared - high-end lodges are similar to hotels because of the similarities in the amenities that they offer. However, certain amenities in the hotel can only be shared; an example would be the swimming pool. This is not the case for the lodge, as the tourist can opt for a lodge that has those amenities and use it privately. Lodges can also come with a kitchen, as compared to hotels where food is delivered to the room or they should buy on the hotel's cafeteria.

Lodges are more expensive - along with the advantages of the high-end lodge is a corresponding high price. With hotels, the tourist can choose the type of room depending on the number of people that will be staying on it and pay a set price for the room and number of days. However, the prices for the lodges are based on a per-person basis and not on the lodge itself. On top of that, some lodges charge a conservation fee (since they are located near the location of the tour).

The safari lodge can be an alternative option for people who want to fully appreciate the scenery, whether day or night. However, with the differences stated above, it is up to your preference and capacity if you will utilize this tourist accommodation or not.
