Tanzania “Authentic-standard” Mobile Tented Camp Safaris Scheduled or Private trips – Fully backed-up safaris Mobile camps allow total flexibility in terms of the areas chosen to visit, as well as the campsite selection itself. In conjunction with our guests’ requirements, we will design an itinerary that follows their desires, whether it be tracking the wildebeest migration in the Serengeti, or doing some walking with Masai at Lake Natron, adventurous activities around Lake Manyara, or to simply enjoy Africa at its best!
Our safaris travel into the best areas of this game-packed region, camping amongst the Big Five with the sounds of the African bush all around. Camping is a perfect way to get close to nature, but with our style of trip you don’t miss out on the comforts! And all the tedious daily chores are taken care of by our crew, who travel ahead and prepare the camp for you (and put the kettle on) allowing you maximum time to enjoy the bush.
We use PRIVATE campsites, with a bush shower and mobile bush toilet en-suite, and our friendly crew sets up YOUR camp ahead of your arrival. We can also combine this style of safari with a few nights in lodges if you like! These safaris have full back-up staff. The supply vehicle travels ahead of the guests to set up camp ready for your clients’ arrival. All meals will be prepared by our safari chef and served by our friendly staff.
