Tanzania Adventure Camping Safari tour you will be immersed in the East African wilderness. You will travel on rough adventurous roads, pass tiny rural settlements and see fascinating landscapes and abundant wildlife.
All your senses will be involved; from smelling early morning coffee, experiencing the thrill of a lion kill in Serengeti to the chill of a morning game drive. Falling asleep to the hooting of an owl or waking up with the roaring of a lion is what you will experience. Tanzania adventure Camping Safari Tour experience is all the more intense as you are ‘right in the middle’ of it all. The nearness to the nature, especially at night with its nocturnal sounds, compensates for the luxury of a lodge.

The Serengeti is a home to adventure Camping Safari and a staggering 1.6 million animals have been recorded moving through the park. We will do game drive until 1pm, when we break for lunch.

We follow the trail of the migrating wildebeest through the afternoon, then venture back to the lodge.

Another early start, but trust us: it’s worth it, After breakfast we do game drive enroute heading back to Ngorongoro rim, a vast UNESCO World Heritage Site situated in a 260km-wide volcano crater. Archaeology buffs and anyone interested in history have the option to stop at Odulpai Gorge, where some of the earliest known human remains have been found. The site was occupied by our genetic ancestors some two million years ago, and continues to offer clues about the origin of homo sapien.
