Tour Overview

There's nothing quite like a night in a simple tent in the Serengeti, under a huge sky full of stars, listening to the roars and rustles of animals around camp. This 3 Days Tanzania Budget Camping-Safari Serengeti gives you exactly that. It's an affordable trip that takes you right into Africa's best-known park without stretching your budget.

Camping is what makes this safari special. You're close to nature the whole time, and it's a fascinating, often moving experience. It's a great choice if you want to see the wild on a small budget.

This 3-day Tanzania budget camping safari spends most of its time in the famous Serengeti National Park, with an extra visit to the nearby Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

Serengeti National Park: The Serengeti is Africa's best-known wildlife area and a place many travelers dream of seeing. The Maasai named it for its endless grass plains. It's home to the Great Migration, when about two million wildebeest, zebras and gazelles move across the plains, and it has some of the highest numbers of predators on the continent, including lions, leopards and cheetahs. With huge herds and over 500 bird species, there's a lot to see.
Ngorongoro Conservation Area: You finish at the Ngorongoro Crater, often called the world's largest intact caldera. Inside its 600m walls, the 265 sq. km crater floor holds up to 30,000 animals, a fine way to end your Serengeti trip.

After the breakfast proceed for game viewing drive along the Sogore River Circuit, which loops into the plains south of the Seronera River, and which is good for possible Lion, Thomson gazelle, topi, ostrich and cheetah sightings. We will enjoy a relaxed picnic lunch at the center in the shade of the giant acacia trees. In the afternoon we will follow the Kopje Circuit, which goes anti-clockwise around the Maasai Kopjes, which usually attract a number of lion and some formidably large cobras. Kopjes are weathered granite outcrops, scattered around the plains, most of which are miniature ecosystems, providing shade and drinking water in pools left in the rock after the rains. This makes the kopjes particularly good for spotting wildlife in the dry seasons – including lions, which like to lie in wait for animals coming to drink!

Optional

If you like to watch wildlife from another perspective, we recommend you to go on a balloon safari. It is an amazing experience to drift silently above the plains with herds of wildlife The hot-air balloon gently takes you up in the air and floats wherever the morning winds may take you.
During the ride you have a stunning and far-reaching view of the great plains of the Serengeti. From here you can spot big herds of wildebeest, giraffes and prides of lion’s right below you. At the right time of year and with a good amount of luck you might even be able to experience the great migration from above.

What Our Travelers Say About Our Tours

Highly Experienced and Wonderful Crew
The 7 days Lemosho route Kilimanjaro trek exceeded our expectations. The route is so beautiful and we enjoyed tackling the mountain with experienced guides - Bakari and Nickson. They were supportive from start to finish in all the aspects of the trek, starting with the technical strategy on the speed, rests and ensuring that we were healthy through regular checks.

Absolutely Beautiful Memories For My Family
Traveling with my 6 members of my family of ages between 8 and 73 is always a complex task with many moving parts. We had to arrange for Mama and Poppas dietary restrictions, accommodations, easy access for Mama and off-course places with a pool and kids activities for Lil Poppa and his teenage sister Anna.

The Best Experience Absolutely
We could not have asked for a better experience on Kilimanjaro. Everything about this trip with this local operator was top notch. Starting with the booking with Naick who made it smooth and easy with his timely responses and advice. Payment was easy and they took care of all the logistics that all we had to do was present ourselves at the KIA.
