Tour Overview
A classic Northern Tanzania camping safari through three iconic wildlife destinations, combining exciting game drives, authentic outdoor nights and excellent value for money.
Experience Tanzania's famous Northern Safari Circuit on a five-day camping adventure. Explore Tarangire's elephant-filled landscapes, discover the endless plains of the Serengeti and descend into the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater for an unforgettable wildlife experience.
This safari is ideal for travelers who enjoy outdoor adventures, appreciate simple camping accommodation and prefer to spend more of their travel budget exploring Tanzania's remarkable national parks.
Why Choose This Camping Safari?
This five-day itinerary combines three very different wildlife environments into one rewarding journey.
- Tarangire National Park: Famous for its large elephant herds, ancient baobab trees and wildlife along the Tarangire River.
- Serengeti National Park: Discover expansive savannahs, resident predators and seasonal wildlife movements across one of Africa's most celebrated ecosystems.
- Ngorongoro Crater: Explore a remarkable natural wildlife sanctuary with opportunities to encounter elephants, lions, buffaloes, zebras, hippos and, with luck, the endangered black rhino.
Camping allows you to enjoy the natural surroundings while keeping accommodation costs affordable.
