Tour Overview

Imagine sleeping in a simple tent on the Tanzanian savanna, with stars filling the night sky and animal calls in the distance. This 3 Days Tanzania Budget Camping Safari makes that real. It's an affordable trip that lets you see Tanzania's parks and wildlife without stretching your budget.

This is safari in its simplest form: close to nature, exciting and easy to remember long after you're home. It's a good choice if you want a real safari at a budget price.

This 3-day Tanzania budget camping safari takes you to three of Tanzania's most beautiful parks: Lake Manyara National Park, the Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire National Park.

Lake Manyara National Park: Your safari starts in this lovely park, where green forest runs along a soda lake below the steep wall of the Great Rift escarpment. It's great for bird lovers, with over 400 species including flamingos, and you might spot the park's tree-climbing lions.
Ngorongoro Crater: Next you drive down into the Ngorongoro Crater, often called the world's largest intact caldera. The 265 sq. km crater floor lies 600m below the rim and is home to up to 30,000 animals. It's one of the best places to look for the Big Five, with the crater walls all around you.
Tarangire National Park: You finish in Tarangire, known for the baobab trees across its plains, its big elephant herds in the dry season and over 500 bird species for nature lovers.

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.
