Tour Overview

Imagine a night in a simple tent on the Tanzanian savanna, with stars overhead and animals calling somewhere in the distance. This 4 Days Tanzania Budget Camping Safari makes that happen. It's an affordable trip that takes you out into the wild without breaking the bank.

This is safari at its best: close to nature, exciting and something you'll talk about for a long time. Camping on a budget puts you right in the middle of Tanzania's wild places.

Short on time but keen to see the Big Five? This 4-day Tanzania budget camping safari is a good fit. It starts and ends in Arusha and moves at a quick pace through three of Tanzania's best-known national parks:

Tarangire National Park: Your trip starts here. Tarangire is known for its baobab trees, its big elephant herds in the dry season and over 500 bird species, so nature lovers have plenty to enjoy.
Serengeti National Park: Next is the world-famous Serengeti, full of wildlife including big cats. It's also home to the Great Migration, when 1.5 million wildebeest, 200,000 zebras and 350,000 gazelles travel 1,200 miles in search of food and water.
Ngorongoro Crater: You finish in what's often called the world's largest intact caldera, a 265 sq. km bowl 600m deep with up to 30,000 animals, and your campsite is close by.

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.
