Tour Overview

Imagine falling asleep in a simple tent on the Tanzanian savanna, with stars above you and the sounds of animals all around in the night. This 5 Days Tanzania Budget Camping Safari gives you that experience at a very affordable price. It's a great way to get out into the wild without stretching your wallet.

This safari is all about adventure. It brings you closer to nature in a way that's exciting and hard to forget. Sleeping under the open sky, you'll feel what life in Tanzania's wild places is really like.

This 5-day Tanzania budget camping safari takes you through three of the country's best-known national parks, a short but exciting taste of the wild:

Lake Manyara National Park: An easy start to your safari. The road winds through green forest between a shining soda lake and the steep Great Rift escarpment, and it's a good place to spot tree-climbing lions and colorful birds.
Serengeti National Park: The Serengeti is famous for its wildlife, including big cats on the hunt. It's also home to the Great Migration, when 1.5 million wildebeest, 200,000 zebras and 350,000 gazelles travel 1,200 miles to find food and water.
Ngorongoro Crater: Often called the world's largest intact caldera, this 265 sq. km bowl is 600m deep and home to up to 30,000 animals. The game viewing is excellent, 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.
