There’s something indescribable about falling asleep to the distant cackling of hyenas, grunting of wildebeest, and the occasional roar or trumpet from one of Africa’s larger residents.
While luxury lodges and tented camps offer more in the way of comfort, camping out under the stars of the Serengeti or on the scenic rim of then Ngorongoro Crater is a fantastic way to be as close as possible to the wildlife of Africa.
Whether you’re looking to save some money or you’re wanting to feel a greater level of closeness to nature, Camping in Tanzania is a fantastic option for those wanting to enjoy the best that Tanzania has to offer without breaking the bank.
With camp sites available in or near both Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, camping can be added to any itinerary featuring these destinations.
You don’t need to worry about food while on a Tanzanian camping safari, nor will you have to make do with boring meals of canned food.
Sample Menu
Shadows of Africa provides a trained personal chef for all of our camping safaris. Using local ingredients and able to cater to any dietary preference, your private chef will prepare warm, delicious meals for breakfast and dinner.
Below, you’ll find a sample menu. We can adapt this to cater to any dietary requirement you might have, and can design it to represent either ‘western’ or African cuisine.
Breakfast
Camping safaris are available in the Serengeti National Park or the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
In the cases of both Seronera and Lobo in the Serengeti, you are camping within the national park.
In the case of Ngorongoro, you are camping within the Conservation Area but not in the Ngorongoro Crater.
