Safari Overview

Camping is the oldest way to do this and still the most immediate — you hear the plains at night rather than looking at them through glass.

We provide tents, mattresses, a cook and all camp equipment. You bring a sleeping bag or hire one from us.

Day-by-Day Itinerary

  1. The Serengeti opens out in front of you: short-grass plains, granite kopjes and horizon in every direction. We spend the day tracking predators and plains game with your guide, pausing for a picnic lunch in the shade before the light softens into a golden afternoon drive.
