5 Days Tanzania Joining Group Camping Safari

You’ll see predators in action, flamingos and other water birds in Lake Manyara National Park, a crater filled with wild animals in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and a large variety of animals in the Serengeti National Park on this 5-day Tanzania budget camping safari.

Our Tanzania Adventure Tours allow you to explore and witness Tanzania’s great beauty by visiting some of the country’s most beautiful locations. Tanzania budget camping safaris provide lodging in public camping areas located within or outside of National Parks. The classic safari style is to travel in a 4×4 safari vehicle with a pop-up roof. Seat belts are provided for each passenger, as well as a 40-liter fridge with water and a plug for charging cell phones and cameras.
Our safari vehicles have a hatched roof for shade against the hot African sun, as well as an extended body with roomy seats for comfortable sitting and leg stretching. A window seat is available to all guests. Cars are also equipped with refrigerators, power outlets, and VHF radios for easy and quick communication with the base office in Arusha. A vehicle is only as good as its driver, and the majority of drivers are exceptional. Each one is uniquely outfitted with, first-aid kits, binoculars, and a selection of field guide books, all of which are provided at no additional cost by Cross to Africa Safaris.
