4 Day Tanzania Camping Safari

A basic camping safari is more of experiencing African Nature in its purest forms. Picture you, your friends, and your family falling asleep in a sleeping bag with lions roaring in the background or distant cackling of hyenas, and the occasional roar or trumpet from one of Africa’s larger residents. It is authentic! This will be the opportunity to, enjoy dinner under the impressive African skies, a campfire, inspiring bush stories while listening to the sounds of the wild animals of Tanzania; a lion’s roar from a distant, hyena’s giggle, baboons bark, or zebras and impalas galloping past. This package combines the best of camping with the best of staying in a lodge.
