This comfortable mobile camping safari visits all four of the most popular parks in northern Tanzania. Spend a day in Tarangire before heading on to Lake Manyara National Park, explore the floor of the Ngorongoro Crater and end your trip in the Serengeti National Park. Your accommodation is spacious dome tents with en-suite facilities, set up for you by your camp crew and situated in private camp sites exclusive to your group.
Guides
Your camping safari will be led by your own knowledgeable and passionate driver-guide, who has a wealth of experience in the bush. He will have a good knowledge of wildlife, birds and local culture and will also act as your camp host.
Tents
Throughout your Four Parks Tanzania Camping Safari you will sleep in very spacious two-man dome tents which are 3.5 x 6.5 metres and made of strong green canvas. Each tent has a sewn-in groundsheet as well as mosquito-proof mesh over the windows and to cover the door. Every tent is furnished with twin camp beds and a mattress, as well as a side table and solar lamp. Bedding, pillows and towels are also provided. On some departures you may spend your nights in the Serengeti at a semi-permanent camp with larger A-frame tents and similar en-suite facilities.
Bathroom facilities
The bathroom facilities at each camp are private and en suite. Through a door at the back of the tent is a chemical toilet with proper seat and a 20-litre bucket shower which has hot water provided daily on request. It is requested that you shower once at the end of each hot and dusty day - as the support vehicle cannot transport enough water for two showers a day.
Meals
Breakfast usually starts with a plate of fruit, followed by eggs of your choice, bacon and sausage. Tea, coffee and fruit juice are also on offer. You will often head out with a boxed lunch which usually includes pieces of barbecued chicken, samosas, sandwiches, fruit and a juice drink. This allows for the flexibility to stop en route to your next destination, or to head out on a full-day safari around the park. Or you may have lunch back at the camp in which case expect fresh green salads, pasta, quiches and fruit. Dinner usually consists of three courses - a starter of soup, followed by a main course such as peppered steak, roast potatoes and fresh vegetables and finished off with a dessert such as chocolate mousse.
Vehicles
The vehicles used on these camping safaris are custom-made 4WD Toyota Land Cruisers. The pop-top roof allows for unobstructed game viewing and also provides some welcome shade. Each traveller is guaranteed a window seat and the connected driver-passenger compartments allows for great communication between the guide and his or her guests.
Camp team
The camp team is made up of the safari chef, head waiter and a few camp assistants who are there to take care of all the camp chores and make your trip as comfortable as possible whilst on your safari in Africa. Each moving day they will break down the camp for you, travel ahead to your next location in a support vehicle, and set up the camp ready for your arrival.
