Arusha – Tarangire – Mto wa Mbu – Serengeti – Ngorongoro – Arusha

Serengeti Camping Adventure

Four days of real camping in the wild: Tarangire's elephants, a night inside the Serengeti with lions calling in the dark, sunrise on the plains, a camp on the Ngorongoro Crater rim and a morning on the crater floor. A joining safari for no more than six guests.

This is probably the most popular — and the most amazing — camping itinerary we run. If your dream is to visit the Serengeti once in a lifetime, this is the one.

Questions

Good to know

Quick answers about seasons, Kilimanjaro, prices and booking.

When is the best time to visit Tanzania?

Tanzania is wonderful all year. January to March is calving season in the southern Serengeti, with excellent wildlife viewing. June to October is the dry season — ideal for safaris and the Great Migration river crossings. November and December are the green season, with fewer visitors, lush scenery and excellent birdwatching.

Where is the Great Migration during the year?

Millions of wildebeest and zebras move around the Serengeti ecosystem every year. From January to March they give birth on the short-grass plains of the southern Serengeti; in the dry season, roughly June to October, they reach the north, where the dramatic Mara River crossings take place. Our 7-Day Threads of Migration and 8-Day Great Migration Safari are built around the crossings.

Can you plan a trip just for us?

Yes. We plan every trip in a special way — because every traveller is different. Our itineraries are sample journeys: we can change any day, add nights or combine parks, and we create wildlife, luxury, honeymoon and family safaris. Tell us your dates and wishes and our travel expert will reply within 24 hours.

Do I need climbing experience for Kilimanjaro?

No. Kilimanjaro routes do not require technical climbing skills. With a moderate level of fitness and the help of our expert guides you can stand on Uhuru Peak (5,895 m), the Roof of Africa. Walking slowly and choosing a longer route gives your body more time to acclimatise.

Which Kilimanjaro route should I choose?

Machame (7 days) offers stunning scenery and a good success rate; Lemosho (8 days) adds quieter trails and extra acclimatisation; Marangu (6 days) is the only route with sleeping huts; the Northern Circuit (9 days) is the longest and most remote; Rongai (7 days) is a quieter climb from the north; and Umbwe (6 days) is the shortest and steepest, for experienced hikers. Tell us about your fitness and dates and we will recommend the best one.

What is included in the safari price?

Park fees for non-residents, all activities and accommodation in the itinerary, a professional driver-guide, all transport, taxes and VAT, your round-trip airport transfer, and meals and drinks as specified. Not included: international flights, extra nights before or after, tips, personal items, travel insurance and visa fees.
