Camping safaris in Tanzania, Kenya -Africa

Camping safari is the most favourite safari and option to be close to wild animals, to hear their voices and observe their behaviour. Camping safari are in various categories depending on budget of tourist. Now below are types of camping.

Budget Camping: involves traveling with all your camp equipment, your guide and possibly a cook in your vehicle with you. Our cook, tents crew and driver guide will set up a tent and prepare meals for you: if interested you can help them. These services typically use the less expensive shared or public campsites, but exclusive camps, or campsites with shower and toilet facilities outside the parks, can also be booked and used. Sleeping is in small, medium or large tents on a mattress, on a carpet laid on a ground, or mattress on a ground. Ground is laid water proof sheets/mat below mattress.
Camping safari in Tanzania is most comfortable yet affordable to most low budget travelers.

The other high type of camping safari offers extra comfort services which resembles Lodge safaris.

Luxury Camping: Imagine feather pillows, soft towels, gin and tonic on the rocks, 4 course gourmet meals in a candlelit dining tent as far from civilization as you can get. This is what luxury camping is all about. The tents are roomy and comfortable, with a veranda in front and directly behind the tent a bathroom with hot-water shower, wash basin and toilet. The beds have a bedside table, gas or solar lamps, chairs, and a wardrobe for your clothing. A deep freeze will supply your drinks with ice and keep specialty food items fresh. Laundry is done daily. A large staff will ensure that your meals are gourmet and all your needs in a camp are met. Luxury camps are often situated so that you can enjoy the same area for several days.

Lightweight luxury camping (extra Comfortable Camping): Like the luxury camps, tents will have metal or wood frame beds, standing headroom, a veranda and small ensuite toilets and hot showers. However, the tents will be smaller and may be the traditional A shape with central ridge pole. The camps are fully staffed and meals will be three course affairs served by waiter in a lantern lit mess tent, or on a table under the stars. Pick-up trucks, rather than Lorries often move these camps, so they don’t have luxuries such as deep freeze. There will usually be wine, beer, and soda in a camp on ice. Lightweight camps like this can be moved overnight and offer an amazing degree of comfort while maintaining the flexibility of a lighter camp.

Tanzania mobile camping safari is a very comfortable camping style using large canvas tents with an extension for a mobile toilet and shower at the back of the tent. Standard twin and queen size beds are provided. A generator is used for light.
