Frequently Asked Questions
What types of accommodations are available on safari?
Options include tented camps (luxury and semi-permanent), lodges, budget camping, and exclusive-use villas. On Gotukio.com you will find the entire range except budget camping options.
Are safari accommodations safe?
Yes, accommodations are designed with safety in mind. Many have security measures like fences, night guards, and protocols for wildlife encounters. If you explicitly want your lodge to be fenced, please mention it when booking so that our team can guide you appropriately.
Is Wi-Fi available at safari lodges or camps?
Most mid-range to luxury lodges and camps provide Wi-Fi, though it might be limited to communal areas and slower due to remote locations.
What’s the difference between a lodge and a tented camp?
A lodge is a permanent structure with modern facilities, while a tented camp offers a closer-to-nature experience with canvas tents that may include luxurious amenities.
How far in advance should I book safari accommodations?
For peak seasons (e.g., migration or holidays), booking 6–12 months in advance is recommended. Off-peak seasons may offer more flexibility.
Is the availability on Gotukio live?
No. Once we receive your booking request, our accommodation partners have 24h to confirm availability or offer an alternative to your choice.
Do safari accommodations have electricity?
Most luxury and mid-range lodges have electricity, often via solar power or generators. Budget camps may rely on lanterns or limited hours of generator power. In many remote locations, lodges and camps do not have the capacity for 24h electricity and may turn their generators off between midnight and dawn, and while their guests are out on game drives. In case you require a 24h electricity accommodation, please mention it when booking so that our team can guide you appropriately.
Are there en-suite bathrooms in safari accommodations?
Luxury and mid-range options usually include en-suite bathrooms with running water, flush toilets, and hot showers. Basic camps may have shared facilities. All lodges and room options available on Gotukio.com have en-suite bathrooms.
