Big Cats 6 Days Budget Camping Safari

Daily Tour 6 days 5 nights
Tarangire National Park, Tanzania Tour Guide: KiliTwende

Want to experience “Wild Africa” in an authentic way?
A camping safari is for you! Tanzania’s budget camping safari packages are lower in price and more pocket-friendly than the luxury lodge safari package counterparts. The visitors get to sleep in tents which keep them closer to nature and wildlife. It’s a better way to enjoy the beautiful landscape of most national parks.

KiliTwende Adventures clients who choose this option will have their tents assembled for them each evening and collapsed again in the morning by our staff, with the tents being packed away and stored on the vehicle, for use again the following evening.

Tanzania’s budget Camping safaris are rewarding experiences because visitors feel like they’re participating in a real African adventure, but still have all the services of safari driver guides, and a chef to take care of all their needs. While on a camping safari, you will have a chef who will be preparing delicious, fresh foods for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

An amazing experience:
We regularly request and receive feedback from our guests, and most of them were very surprised at the high level of service and care they received, and that the experience was a great deal more comfortable than they anticipated! In the camping safari, tents, mattresses, sleeping bags, chairs, tables, cooking wear and other camping equipment are provided by KiliTwende Adventures.

Most people are worried about their safety in the safari park when they’re amidst uncaged wild animals. But we assure complete tourist safety as armed rangers will be patrolling and guarding the campsites all the time.

You may not stay in luxury accommodation, but you see the same animals and experience the same wildlife. We provide top customer service for all types of travelers and we’ll make sure you get the most out of your buck.
