Camping Safaris in Tanzania

Camping in the bush of Tanzania is the quintessential private AfricanSafari 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 in Tanzania.

Please note that we are specialised in private Safaris, only you and your travel partner(s) will be on the Safari vehicle! And we can organise that tour for you for any date! Of course we can also help you with airport transfer and hotel bookings in Arusha, just let us know!
