ADVENTURE CAMPING SAFARIS

There is truly no better way to experience the magic of the bush than when you are nestled right there in it! Classic camping allows you to get close to nature at your own pace in a very personal, very classic way. You will camp in wilderness campsites with shared facilities.

Our camping safaris let you experience the East African wilderness very close to hand. Unlike the campsites in other parts of Africa, the ones in Tanzania tend not to be fenced and it is quite likely that you may find an elephant wandering between the tents or you may bump into a buffalo on your way to the shower. There is no cause for alarm and no need to fret, you just need to relax as our experienced guides will look after you and our safari cooks will treat and spoil you with their excellent culinary skills. By the time you have returned after a day's adventure on safari in Tanzania, with the sun setting over the savannah and a lion roaring in the distance, you will know that you have left your every day life far, far away.  Our tents are comfortable and clean, our guides are friendly and accommodating and our bush cooks superb! Wildlife is free to roam in and out of these camps, and often does- up close and personal! Don’t forget a flashlight!

This 2-day camping safari visits the well-known nature reserves of Lake Manyara National Park and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

Day 1 Arusha - Lake Manyara National Park

We will collect you in the morning from your hotel and take you to the Lake Manyara National Park. This park offers areas of dense woodland in which the long tailed Guenon monkeys as well as baboons, antelopes, gazelles and approximately 500 elephants live. The Manyara National Park is also known for its lions that like to lounge around in trees - this behaviour is not common among big cats and makes for quite a sight. After a picnic at midday in the park, the tour continues with more chances to observe these fantastic animals. In the afternoon, you will leave the national park and camp at a campsite for the night. Lunch; Dinner

Day 2 Lake Manyara National Park - Ngorongoro Conservation Area - Arusha

After breakfast, your safari continues with a trip to the Ngorongoro Crater. This is the world's largest caldera - a feature formed by the collapse of land following a volcanic eruption. It is approximately 18 km in diameter and home to an estimated 25000 mammals. The caldera is truly amazing and more impressive when you have reached the crater floor and had a chance to look around you, you will realize how breathtaking it is. Here, in a relatively small area (in African terms), you find practically the complete cross section of East African wildlife. Alongside elephants, zebras, wildebeests and buffalos, you will find an array of antelopes and gazelles as well as hippopotamus, warthogs and hyenas. There is also a very good chance that you will see leopards, lions and the black rhino, which unfortunately is threatened with extinction. After lunch, there will be more time for wildlife spotting before it is time to leave the Ngorongoro Crater and return to Arusha. Breakfast; Lunch

This 3-day camping safari offers you the chance to watch a wide variety of wildlife amongst some of the most varied landscapes. Not only will you see parts of the Tarangire and Lake Manyara National Parks but also the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater.

Day 1 Arusha - Tarangire National Park

In the morning, you will be collected from your hotel and will be taken to Tarangire National Park. The Tangire National Park with its endless tree savannah and seasonal marshes is home to the largest elephant herds in the North of Tanzania; with over 4000 at the last count, it takes some beating. In the national park, you will also be able to watch giraffes, buffalos, lions, zebras, gnus and different types of antelopes and gazelles. Upon your arrival at the park, your driver will open the roof of the vehicle and the extensive wildlife watch can begin. After having lunch at a picnic spot, you will have more time in the afternoon to see more of this amazing and beautiful park. Late in the afternoon, you will leave Tarangire National Park and you will stay for the night in tents at a nearby campsite. Lunch; Dinner

Day 2 Tarangire National Park - Ngorongoro Conservation Area

After an early start, you will drive pass the Rift Valley (Africa's graben fault) up to the cooler regions of the crater uplands. The Ngorongoro Crater is almost 600m deep and in this massive caldera, you will find an amazing variety of animals. Alongside the "big five" (elephants, buffaloes, lions, leopards and rhinoceros), you will find virtually all of the animals that can be found in the entire East African savannah. At a chosen picnic spot, you will have lunch and the rest of the afternoon will be devoted to more wildlife watching. In the afternoon, you will leave the crater and you will drive to the campsite, which is situated directly on the craters edge and offers fantastic evening views across the crater. Breakfast; Lunch; Dinner

Day 3 Ngorongoro Conservation Area - Lake Manyara National Park - Arusha

Early birds can enjoy watching the sunrise over the Ngorongoro Crater - something that should not be missed and is well worth getting up for. After breakfast, you will leave the crater highlands and continue the "Northern Circuits" tour to the next national park in Tanzania. Lake Manyara National Park is one of the smaller parks in Tanzania and covers an area from the northwestern edge of the lake and a large proportion of the lake itself. The lake is the seasonal home to thousands of flamingos, pelicans and more than one hundred other types of birds. On the partly forested edges, you will get the chance to watch the proud elephants with their impressive tusks searching for food and doing their daily business. You will also be able to see giraffes, buffaloes, gazelles, antelopes, baboons, and last but not least, the famous tree climbing lions. After an intensive wildlife tour, it will be time to leave the national park and return to Arusha. Breakfast; Lunch
Also we can prepare an itinerary according to you needs and wishes.
