Camping Safaris

Camping Safaris is an unforgettable experience in Tanzania. Not only an easy option for budget travelers, but it is also the best way to experience real life in the wild.

Imagine living in the middle of the African jungle. The sounds of birds and Mother Nature. This will leave you with a fantastic experience away from home.

Camping safaris allow you to experience nature and wildlife. The millions of wildebeest in Serengeti elevate your soul and mind if you camp in Serengeti. The abundance of life in Tanzania’s national parks is an unimaginable experience.

Most of Tanzania’s National Parks have campsites inside. The government and private companies offer these campsites.

Not all camps are cheaper than lodges thought to be. Some camps in the National Parks are more expensive than lodges.

The only determinant of price is quality and location.

Flying Camping Safaris 

Flying camps are the ideal plan after long walking safaris or game drives. It involves setting up temporary camps under the stars or trees. It’s the adventure in style.

Experience authentic bush life: the hurricane lamps, fresh towels, a canvas washbasin with hot water, and food. 

Most of these camps are the best idea for following migration in the Serengeti. Or during walking safaris in the Maasai land in Tanzania

The sensation of sleeping under the stars with mosquito nets while the moon shines down is magical—the noises of the African wild echo from different angles, marking the highlight of an African safari. 

The memory will live with you for a lifetime. This fantastic experience turns you on while on your African vacation
