Camping safaris in Tanzania, Kenya -Africa

Camping safari is the most favourite safari and option to be close to wild animals, to hear their voices and observe their behaviour. Camping safari is preferred when a Tourist is doing photographic safaris/film and hunting safari too. Camping safaris is cheap and adventurous, even mountain climbers prefers tents, example Kilimanjaro trekking expeditions. All camping safari is professional organized to ensure comfort to tourists. Budget camping and fly camping safaris are most common types of camping safaris used in East Africa.





Budget Camping: involves travelling with all your camp equipment, your guide and possibly a cook in your vehicle with you. Our cook, tents crew and driver guide will set up a tent and prepare meals for you: if interested you can help them. These services typically use the less expensive shared or public campsites, but exclusive camps, or campsites with shower and toilet facilities outside the parks, can also be booked and used. Sleeping is in small, medium or large tents on a mattress, on a carpet laid on a ground, or mattress on a bed.





Fly Camping: Fly camping involves setting up small, temporary camps for a night under the stars, more often than not in a remote part of the bush. Fly camps are the ideal end to a day’s walking safari or game drive, with many unexpected comforts- a canvas washbasin with hot water, fresh towels, hurricane lamps and delicious food cooked on fire. At night, the sensation of sleeping in a light tent or just under a mosquito net, as the moon shines down and the noises of the African night begin, is the highlight of any safari holiday.



Camping safari in Tanzania is most comfortable yet affordable to most low budget travellers.



The other high type of camping safari offers extra comfort services which resembles Lodge safaris.



Luxury Camping: Imagine feather pillows, soft towels, gin and tonic on the rocks, 4 course gourmet meals in a candlelit dining tent as far from civilization as you can get. This is what luxury camping is all about. The tents are roomy and comfortable, with a veranda in front and directly behind the tent a bathroom with hot-water shower, wash basin and toilet. The beds have a bedside table, gas or solar lamps, chairs, and a wardrobe for your clothing. A deep freeze will supply your drinks with ice and keep specialty food items fresh. Laundry is done daily. A large staff will ensure that your meals are gourmet and all your needs in a camp are met. Luxury camps are often situated so that you can enjoy the same area for several days.









Lightweight luxury camping (extra Comfortable Camping): Like the luxury camps, tents will have metal or wood frame beds, standing headroom, a veranda and small ensuite toilets and hot showers. However, the tents will be smaller and may be the traditional A shape with central ridge pole. The camps are fully staffed and meals will be three course affairs served by waiter in a lantern lit mess tent, or on a table under the stars. Pick-up trucks, rather than Lorries often move these camps, so they don’t have luxuries such as deep freeze. There will usually be wine, beer, and soda in a camp on ice. Lightweight camps like this can be moved overnight and offer an amazing degree of comfort while maintaining the flexibility of a lighter camp.



Permanent Luxury tented camps: Most permanent tented camps are built on wooden or stone platforms with permanent mortar/brick bathroom/shower areas at the back of each tent. Tents are made from canvas and khaki or cream coloured tents are replacing the older military green. To protect the canvas, tents are placed under canopies of canvas or natural materials such as makuti (palm frond) and thatch.

Most permanent tented camps are furnished very elaborately with electricity, ceiling fans, tables, chairs, four-poster beds, large mirrors and lush carpeting. Some of the newer, more upscale camps have air-conditioning, separate lounge areas, indoor/outdoor showers/bathtubs and even private plunge pools!

Examples are: Tarangire Tree tops, Kirurumu in Lake Manyara National Park, Tamarind in Tarangire, Mbuzi Mawe and Kirawira in Western Serengeti, those are just few examples to mention.



Mobile Luxury camps: are grouped into 3 categories:

(i) Luxury Mobile camps.

(ii) Semi Luxury mobile camps

(iii) Budget Luxury mobile camps



They are essential to be mobile as most useful in tracking and viewing the Great Wildebeest migration and its Predators.

Day 1: ARUSHA / MIRIAKAMBA

Starting from Momela Gate, the track passes through open grassland with cape buffalo and warthogs. With luck, you may also see giraffe and elephants. Continue a steady climb through montane forest. You can have your lunch at the famous “Fig tree”. After lunch, the trek continues through less dense forest, where there are lots of birds and monkeys including the black and white colobus. By mid-afternoon, there are the first close views of the towering cliffs and the Ash Cone. Miriakampa Hut, situated in idyllic grassy glade, is reached in time to enjoy the afternoon sun and beautiful views over the surrounding plains towards Kilimanjaro

Day 2: MIRIAKAMBA / SADLE

The walk from Miriakampa Hut to the saddle below Little Meru is a a steep sustained climb all the way. Starting through beautiful and lush montane forest, the path continues beyond the halfway point of Elephant Back Ridge and carries on uphill through the giant heather and other moorland vegetation to reach Saddle Hut and lunch. In the afternoon, you can make the short climb to the nearby summit of Little Meru (3820 m / 12,533 ft) for superb views. It takes about 1 hour to walk up and 30 minutes to walk down. The ascent is 1056 m / 3465 ft.

Summit day has an early start at around 12:00AM. There is a 1 hours steep climb to Rhino Point (3800m / 12,467ft), then the path continues along a ridge of ash and rock to reach Cobra Point (4350m / 14,272ft). The summit of Socialist Peak (4566 m) is an hour more on a steep path wih magnificent views of Kilimanjaro. Depending your speed, you can enjoy sunrise at Cobra Point or the summit. The views are stunning: the cliffs of the Crater rim, the Ash Cone rising from the crater floor, Kilimanjaro floating on the morning clouds, and the Rift Valley. The route back to Rhino Point in the sharp morning light along a narrow ridge between the sloping outer wall of the crater and the sheer cliffs of the inner wall is one of the most dramatic and exhilarating walks in Africa. Brunch and a brief rest is taken at Saddle Hut before continuing the descent to Miriakamba Hut.
