Camping Safaris

There’s something indescribable about falling asleep to the distant cackling of hyenas, grunting of wildebeest, and the occasional roar or trumpet from one of Africa’s larger residents.

While luxury lodges and tented camps offer more in the way of comfort, camping out under the stars of the Serengeti or on the scenic rim of Ngorongoro Crater is a fantastic way to be as close as possible to the wildlife of Africa.

Why Go Camping in Tanzania?

Whether you’re looking to save some money or you’re wanting to feel a greater level of closeness to nature, camping is a fantastic option for those wanting to enjoy the best that Tanzania has to offer without breaking the bank.

With campsites available in or near both Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, camping can be added to any itinerary featuring these destinations.

What’s Included in a Tanzania Camping Safari

You don’t need to bring a thing! We provide all necessary camping equipment.

We provide tents, sleeping bags, safari chairs, and a fold-out table for dinner. You don’t even have to worry about set-up, as your guide will construct your tent while you freshen up!

(Of course, we’re sure he wouldn’t say no to a little help)

All camping sites are secured and have public toilets and bathrooms.

Rangers patrol the camp sites to ensure that wildlife don’t get too curious about campers.

What to Bring

In addition to the other items you would bring on any safari, you will need to bring toiletries (soap, shower gel, shampoo etc.) and a towel for bathing.

Everything else is provided.

Food on Safari: A Delicious Experience
