3-Day Tanzania Camping Safari

This 3-day Tanzania camping safari covers Tarangire National Park, the Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara at a lower price than its lodge counterpart. During the safari, you will stay in dome tents at a public campsite within the parks or in the Manyara or Karatu area. On some occasions, the mattress will be set down on the ground sheet or on a proper camp bed. Our crew cooks all meals, while you still get the same private 4x4, driver-guide,e and park access as the lodge version.

Three-day camping safari gives a genuine taste of Nature, falling asleep to the sounds of the bush after a day of game drives, without the logistics of a multi-night mobile camping trek. If comfort matters more than budget, our 3-Day Tanzania Lodge Safari covers the identical route with lodge or tented-camp accommodation instead. Travelers who’d rather keep it short can also look at our 2-Day Tanzania Camping Safari, which covers Tarangire and Ngorongoro without Lake Manyara.

After that, drive down into the crater floor for an amazing game drive (picnic lunch will be provided at the crater floor). Ngorongoro Crater is often considered one of the wonders of the world; however, despite being called a crater, it is actually the world’s largest volcanic caldera. It is one of the few places where you can see the unique black rhino in its natural habitat. The crater walls are about 2000ft high, and very few animals move in and out of it. Lions, Elephants, Hyenas, Jackals, zebras, hippos, rhinos, antelopes, flamingoes, and many other birds are some of the wildlife you expect to see. You may be lucky to see all the ‘Big Five’ in a single day of game drives.
