Basic Camping Safari
If you’re in for the safari experience and like to camp in or very near the parks we can offer you a budget camp safari. You’ll have your own driver / guide taking you in his 4X4 Landcruiser or Landrover to the parks of your choice. A cook will also be joining you to make sure you’ll have your breakfast ready when you wake up and your lunch and dinner after returning from your gamedrives. You travel with our own tents, comfortable matresses, sleeping bags, table and chairs. So you see, budget is a relative word since you’re well taken care of. You’ll enjoy lots of freedom to discuss with our driver/guide where you want to go in the park and how long you want to stay.
If you want to experience more activities in some parks we give you some options:
You are welcome and have a real wildlife experience by walking very close to the wild animals in Arusha National Park, Tarangire National Park, the forests around Lake Manyara, walking down the "Great Rift Valley" or Ruaha National Park. Tell us and we can make the proper arrangements for you since you need a local guide or park ranger to accompany you.
- Mountainbiking in Lake Manyara
- Canoe or boat safaris in Selous Game Reserve, Arusha National Park and Ruaha National Park
