Camping Safaris

Camping Safaris in Tanzania .

Camping safaris put you closer to nature—fall asleep to distant hyena calls and wake to birdsong at first light. Travel in a private 4x4 with your guide, while a camp crew and chef handle tents and fresh meals so you can focus on wildlife and the bush.

Choose your style: budget camping in public campsites, comfort camping with upgraded gear, or private mobile camping set up exclusively for your group in wilderness areas. We tailor routes across Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire, and Lake Manyara to match your interests and time.
