“Africa changes you forever, like nowhere on earth. Once you have been there, you will never be the same. But how do you begin to describe its magic to someone who has never felt it? How can you explain the fascination of this vast, dusty continent, whose oldest roads are elephant paths? Could it be because Africa is the place of all our beginnings, the cradle of mankind, where our species first stood upright on the savannahs of long ago?”
Types of Safari Accommodation
Levels of Accommodation
Here at Surprise Tours & Safaris, we rank the lodges on 3 levels. They are graded from Budget, Delux to Luxury. The grading is based on the services and amenities, rooms and other factors considered.
The number of guests, levels of comfort to rooming ambience, standard of cuisine, and more importantly, uniqueness of ecosystem and ambient wildlife, quality of safari experience, or proximity to wildlife migration corridors also are factors.
The system is designed to balance all variables on a single scale of comparative values from the point of view of a prospective guest to provide a consistent relationship between factual worth and cost. Indicators include both the location of the accommodation and its amenities. Clients will know exactly what to expect.
You would be familiar with 1 to 2 star accommodation, and we represent the Budget Lodges or Camps as 1-2 star. 3 to 4 stars are Delux Lodges or camps, and finally the 5 and above stars represent Luxury Lodges or Camps.
There is tremendous variety between one safari accommodation and another, each excelling in different aspects, with a range of amenities to be offset in determining an rating and your budget.
Surprise Tours & Safaris 3 acommodation style levels give you the information you need to take the uncertainty out of your choice. You can be sure of getting precisely what you specify when you rely on our expertise. There are no nasty surprises. The only thing in doubt is how much your Surprise Tours & Safaris safari will exceed your expectations.
We insist on an absolute standard of excellence and distinctive consistency so that, if a venue falls below par in any one core attribute e.g. number of rooms and guests being higher, food or service quality or cleanliness, it cannot then be classed Luxury Level but becomes Delux Level, even though most of its facilities are better than you might anticipate.
We keep up to date on all aspects of lodges and camps we take our clients to and adjust their ratings in accordance with the standards we expect for that type of accommodation level.

Accommodation Examples
Budget Accommodation - For the Budget Conscious
These are 1 to 2-star lodges or camps. They are mostly basic and for those who prefer to economise on tour. Cuisine is basic, and savings are reflected in least personalization, and no-frills accommodation in a dream destination. These lodgings cater for the mass market. They have more small rooms, sometimes shared bathrooms and in some cases some may not have hot water for showers.
Budget Accommodation is selected by lighthearted and relaxed adventurers who are willing to accept inconsistencies in the service levels at the accommodation. Budget Accommodation offer a choice of lodge or tented camp. Lodges are permanent solid structures of wood or stone, whereas tented camp suites are canvas quarters built on raised wooden decks, some with sheltering thatched rooves or an extra canvas awning. Both lodge and camp rooms sometimes have en-suite and storage facilities. There is usually a main dining area, bar and lounge for viewing of the wildlife after safari, and as you relax in the evening.
They are accompanied by public camping areas, few tents and camping fires. The advantage of the budget lodges or camps is that you will feel the true wilderness in Africa. Sleeping in a tent in the middle of the bush as you hear lions roar, hyenas cry and birds sing.
