Overview

About this trip

Discover the raw beauty of Tanzania’s landscapes, from golden savannahs to volcanic highlands, while experiencing the thrill of camping in comfort and style.

This six day camping safari is a chance to experience Tanzania at a closer, more natural pace, combining game drives with nights spent in comfortable safari camps surrounded by the sounds of the bush. The journey takes you through some of northern Tanzania’s well known wildlife areas, with time to explore the landscapes by day and settle into camp as the sun goes down.

The safari includes destinations such as Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and the Serengeti National Park. Depending on the route and season, each area offers something different to experience and fully witness the perfect safari adventure.

Days are built around early morning and afternoon game drives, when animals are generally more active. Your safari vehicle and experienced guide allow you to spend time watching wildlife without rushing from one sighting to another. There is also time between activities to enjoy your camp, have a meal, rest and simply listen to the sounds around you. Camping adds another side to the safari. Evenings are spent around camp, sharing stories over dinner and enjoying the cooler air after a day on the road.

With a balance of wildlife viewing, travel, and time in camp, this six day safari is well suited to travellers who want to experience Tanzania beyond the lodge walls. It offers a practical and comfortable way to explore the northern safari circuit while staying close to the landscapes and wildlife that make the region so distinctive.
