Camping is not just for school kids, nor is it just reserved for exotic outdoor places. You can almost certainly take a Tanzania Camping Adventure Safari amidst wild animals in Tanzania National Parks. At night, you might even spot an unfenced lion staring at you 100 meters away, and there’s only a sheet of tent between him and you. But don’t worry, you’re not going to open your eyes in heaven, it’s not as dangerous as it seems. In fact, National parks are a lot safer. Tanzania hosts a greater population of wild animals, including the African Big Five. So there are a lot of animal sightseeing opportunities. Almost all national parks in Tanzania have camping sites at ideal places to ensure traveler safety. Before a good night sleep, there will be cultural sing-alongs, dancing, and food. Along with fun and adventure, camping impacts your well-being too.

Thirsty nomads have wandered hundreds of parched kilometers knowing that here, always, there is water. Herds of up to 300 elephants scratch the dry river bed for underground streams, while migratory wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, impala, gazelle and eland crowd the shrinking lagoons. It’s the greatest concentration of wildlife outside the Serengeti ecosystem – a smorgasbord for predators – and the one place in Tanzania where dry-country antelope such as the stately fringe-eared onyx and peculiar long-necked Gerek are regularly observed. Enjoy your afternoon game drive till late evening. Dinner & Overnight at Lake Burunge Tented Camp.
You would be transferred by our guide after your morning breakfast for Serengeti National Park. Serengeti National Park is easily Tanzania’s most famous national park, and it’s also the largest, at 14,763 square kilometers of protected area that borders Kenya’s Masai Mara Game Park. Its far-reaching plains of endless grass, tinged with the twisted shadows of acacia trees, have made it the quintessential image of a wild and untarnished Africa. Its large stone Skopje are home to rich ecosystems, and the sheer magnitude and scale of life that the plains support is staggering. Enjoy your en route game drive at Serengeti National Park. Dinner & Overnight at Serengeti Katikati Camp.
According to season, the camp moves to the scenically and outstandingly beautiful Moru Kopjes in June. Moru is a unique location of the Serengeti Rhino project and also by virtue of permanent water in the area it boasts a large population of Lion with densities approaching the Seronera area but unlike Seronera the area is not congested but it is much more remote and private. The resident game is plentiful and is the reason the Lion population is high. From late December to the end of March the camp moves to the Ndutu area of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The Ndutu 2 campsite area offers access to the Serengeti short grass plains for the great migration and specifically when the wildebeests are carving around mid February to early March. The lake’s over essential water brings the game in from the surrounding planes for excellent wildlife viewing. The area is also very good for lion, cheetah and excellent plains game along with the migration.
Depart after your morning breakfast with your picnic lunch boxes via the Olduvai gorge where it is believed the cradle of mankind began. Ngorongoro Crater is often called Africa’s Eden and the 8th Natural Wonder of the World, a visit to the crater is a main draw card for tourists coming to Tanzania and a definite world-class attraction. Within the crater rim, large herds of zebra and wildebeest graze nearby while sleeping lions laze in the sun. At dawn, the endangered black rhino returns to the thick cover of the crater forests after grazing on dew-laden grass in the morning mist. Just outside the crater’s ridge, tall Masai herd their cattle and goats over green pastures through the highland slopes, living alongside the wildlife as they have for centuries. Descend to the rim of the crater for your game drive. Dinner & Overnight at Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge.
Pick up after your morning breakfast for Lake Manyara National Park. Located beneath the cliffs of the Manyara Escarpment, on the edge of the Rift Valley, Lake Manyara National Park offers varied ecosystems, incredible bird life, and breathtaking views. Located on the way to Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti, Lake Manyara National Park is well worth a stop in its own right. Its ground water forests, bush plains, baobob strewn cliffs, and algae-streaked hot springs offer incredible ecological variety in a small area, rich in wildlife and incredible numbers of birds. Enjoy your game till late evening. Dinner & Overnight at Kirurumu Tented Lodge

The great extraordinary animal kingdom migration is an annual migration of about 1 million wildebeest, 300000 zebras and 200000 gazelles migrating from Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro crater and contiguous Masai Mara National Reserve searching for fresh grasses as well as water. This is a honeymoon (easy to hunt) period for the crocodile in Grumeti River and other carnivores such as lion and leopard while the migration is taking place. For more information on how the migration takes place please click here.
The best time to see the migration in Tanzania is January-March and June-August and in Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya it is often best September-October. These are also the most popular times to go, so you will need to book well in advance.
You will see abundance of wildlife all year round. However it should be clear that changing of weather can affect this migration circular and a need for some two to three days in Serengeti National Park give you a wide chance of view migration properly.
