Camping is not only the best way of getting close to Africa, but it could also be the cheapest way to visit the great National Parks of East Africa. Joining a budget safari is a great experience by itself!. These safaris are suitable for any person who enjoys camping and or outdoor activities. Camping in the bush of Tanzania is the quintessential African Safari experience. Just a piece of cloth between you and the African night. A quire of nocturnal birds, insects and distant roaring lions lullabies you to sleep. Sitting around an open camp fire with the southern skies bright over head is the real way of appreciating Africa's magic.
There are campsites everywhere and camping facilitates in all our safari itineraries, to any park or wilderness area. Itineraries are of a superb standard and visit all National Parks and areas of interest. We use good quality 4x4 Land Rovers or Safari Minivans or Overland Trucks with viewing roof hatches, equipment is carried in the vehicles (if number of participating clients requires). Our Safari Driver/Guides have good knowledge of conservation issues, fauna and flora.
Camping trips are accompanied by a Safari Cook who prepares 3 delicious meals daily. Camp assistants may be available on certain safaris according to the number of participating clients. Accommodation is mostly in modern, large two-man tents with a sewn-in ground sheet, with a comfortable foam mattress spread on the ground sheet (clients bring their own sleeping bags ). In some itineraries accommodation can be a combination of camping and simple chalets or bungalows. We use public national Parks campsites, which have flush toilets and hot showers. They have a "clubhouse" where you dine, and sometimes there is evening entertainment.
