Overview – Discover Tanzania on an Authentic Camping Safari Adventure

Our Tanzania camping safari tour packages are designed for travelers who want to get closer to nature, wildlife, and local culture without compromising on adventure. These safaris offer a raw and immersive experience in the African wilderness—where you can hear lions roar at night, enjoy freshly cooked meals, and gaze at the Milky Way from your tent.

You'll travel in custom 4x4 safari vehicles with pop-up roofs and be guided by experienced English-speaking driver-guides and professional safari chefs. Accommodations are in large dome tents (shared or private) set up in public or special campsites inside or near Tanzania’s top national parks.

Our camping safaris typically cover the Northern Safari Circuit, including Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire National Park, and Lake Manyara. From the Big Five to migratory herds, and from ancient baobabs to volcanic craters, you’ll experience the very best of East African wildlife and landscapes.

These camping safari packages range from 3 to 10 days, and are ideal for budget travelers, solo backpackers, students, and groups looking for a high-value, low-cost Tanzania safari option. We also offer the choice between private camping safaris and group joining tours to help match your budget and travel style.

Whether you’re chasing the Great Migration, exploring the Ngorongoro Crater floor, or relaxing with a cup of tea beside your tent, a camping safari in Tanzania delivers a true connection to nature—and memories that last a lifetime.

Best Time for Camping Safaris & Top Parks to Camp in Tanzania

When Is the Best Time to Go Camping in Tanzania?

The ideal time for camping safaris in Tanzania is during the dry seasons, which run from late June to October and from late December to February. During these months, wildlife is easier to spot as animals gather around water sources, and the weather is generally pleasant with little rain—perfect for camping outdoors under the stars.

The green season (March to May) brings lush landscapes and fewer tourists, which can be an excellent time for camping if you prefer solitude and don't mind occasional showers.

Best National Parks for Camping Safaris

  • Serengeti National Park: Experience the vast plains and incredible wildlife, especially during the Great Migration.
  • Ngorongoro Conservation Area: Camp near the crater rim for stunning views and rich wildlife diversity.
  • Tarangire National Park: Famous for large elephant herds and baobab trees, ideal for a quieter camping experience.
  • Lake Manyara National Park: Known for tree-climbing lions and abundant birdlife, offering beautiful lakeside camping spots.
  • Ruaha National Park: A bit more remote, offering an off-the-beaten-path camping safari with diverse wildlife.
