Be willing to spend.
This sounds weird but the truth is most of the comfortable and strategically placed hotels and resorts are expensive. The main aim of going on safari is seeing wildlife and spending as much time as possible doing the same. Convenience is expensive. Well known lodges chains and resorts are found in the reserves, parks and conservation areas giving clients maximum time watching wildlife. Other options are placed outside and therefore leaves you with some time to drive before you get to park gates. Mostly their budget is on the lower side.
Research online
There is a lot of free information online. This include directions to the resorts, contacts, facts sheets and photo galleries. Look into the hotels websites and learn more.
