Tanzania Camping Safaris: Get up Close and Personal with Nature

Our Tanzania camping safaris are designed for the young & old in search of real adventure; for those who enjoy the unpredictable wilderness.

Age, however, is not the criteria, what’s needed is, a spirit of adventure, a sense of humour and the willingness to participate!! Check out our more popular programs and remember that should you not find a program that suits your needs or meets your duration of stay, we can always tailor-make that real special safari for you!

About the campsites

Public Campsites

Campsites in the Park:
Tumbili-Serengeti, Simba- Ngorongoro, Tarangire Campsite and Arusha. The campsites are NOT fenced, so animals do tend to come close. Most of these campsites have pit-latrines. Water for showers, although usually available, is not guaranteed.

Campsites outside the park:
Panorama (outside Manyara), Kudu (at Karatu, near Ngorongoro), Kigongoni (Outside Tarangire).
Panorama & Kudu: have running water, flush toilets and bars.

Special Campsites

These cost US$20pp more than Public ones. No toilet or shower facilities available, however there is privacy at these campsites as they are less crowded. Here we suggest you opt for Semi-luxury camping as showers are provided on that option.

What to bring

Among other things, we recommend you bring the following:

• Cool light clothing for the day
• Warm clothing for the evenings (Ngorongoro night time temp. often drops to about 20 C)
• Insect repellent
• Flash-light
• Linen (if needed)
• Towel & personal toiletry requirements
• Scarf or hat
• Sleeping bag
• Sunglasses
• Sandals
• First aid kit
