Circuit Overview

An Authentic and Affordable African Adventure

Experience the real African bush on this classic 3-day budget camping safari. You will travel in a private 4x4 vehicle to see the giant elephants of Tarangire National Park and visit the famous Ngorongoro Crater to look for the Big Five. Instead of expensive hotels, you will stay in traditional canvas tents at public campsites, falling asleep to the sounds of nature while a private mountain camp chef cooks fresh, hot meals just for you.
