What is a Tanzanian Camping Safari?

 

So what is a camping safari and how does it compare to other safaris? Every type of safari allows you to see the local wildlife; however, they differ when it comes to where you stay. Most tours start by taking groups of people out on game drives, in which a safari car or an off-road vehicle drives across the wildlife preserves searching for the Big Five—lion, leopard, rhino, buffalo, and elephant. Once the game drive is done, travelers will then either retreat to a lodge on the edge of the park or set up camp right in the heart of the preserve. Staying in the wild, at night, under the stars is what our camping safari is all about!

Tanzania Camping Safari is a unique way of enjoying the African safari in Tanzania. It is not only affordable but it is a great adventure to take in Africa. Imagine yourself under canvass under the African clear sky with Stars shining above you, or sitting around a camp fire in the middle of nowhere in a public campsite at the center of Serengeti National Park’s endless Savannah plains.

We at Tanzania Safari Supremacy make it happen regardless of what leads you into choosing a camping Safari in Tanzania. One may choose an African camping safari because of traveling on budget, while some may choose a camping safari just for the sake of seeking an adventure travel in Africa. We make it happen no matter what drives you into taking a camping safari in Tanzania.

 

Camping Safari Accommodations

 

If you’re concerned about what it would be like to camp on safari, don’t worry about a thing! When you camp with us, we provide all of the equipment, including large tents that can easily accommodate two people, thick camping mattresses, bedding, and camping chairs. Sturdy canvas tents will be set up by our team so all you have to worry about is enjoying the safari, coming home, eating dinner, sitting around a bonfire, and then settling in for bed. Each site we visit has basic flush toilets and showers available to use and each meal is prepared by our camp chef. You don’t need to be an expert camper or in top physical condition in order to go on this trip. As long as you can stand on your feet for several hours at a time, walk on uneven terrain, are comfortable getting up from the ground, and can get in and out of a Toyota Land Cruiser, you’ll have no problems going on a journey with us!

You will also be accompanied by a skilled safari cook who will take care of your well-being. He will prepare all meals, often even including a packed meal for a picnic lunch. Early morning eggs and sausages, coffee and bread, snacks and evenings with stews and salads, Tanzania-Experience’s cooks can create delicious 3-course meals with only a gas cooker and a sharp knife…
The camp and food will be set up and prepared for you, so that you can just relax and enjoy your holiday.

 

Safety While Camping on Safari.

 

Nearly a million visitors travel to Tanzania every year and most of them go on safari to at least one of the national parks. The Serengeti National Park alone can have up to 200 thousand visitors! Yet despite these numbers, on average, maybe one death a year could be attributed to wildlife encounters. Statistically, this means that you are more likely to be hurt in a car accident then you are to be injured while on safari. So, while there is always a small risk involved in travel, the risk of going on a safari is no greater than that of traveling to any other popular vacation spot

That said, you will be in the capable hands of a professional guide at all times. He will also accompany you to the campsite and advise you on all the safety precautions so you can enjoy a safe and authentic safari experience.

 

Camping Equipment(You  can  find  tent photos and attach )

 

On our Adventure Camping Safaris, you will stay in public campsites, located inside the park or on private campsites on the outskirts. The campsites in the parks are not fenced and it is not unlikely that you may find elephants wandering between the tents or bump into antelopes on your way to the shower.

Accommodation will be in 2-person-tents (2.5m x 2.5m and 1.8m high) which are all waterproof and come with built-in mosquito nets at their entrances and windows. Comfortable 5 cm thick sleeping mattresses will be provided by us, as well as robust camping furniture such as tables, safari chairs, functional cutlery and crockery.
