Budget camping safaris

Tanzania’s parks with an experienced guide, camping close to nature.

budget safaris

Tanzania on a smaller budget

A budget safari is a great way to experience Tanzania’s wildlife and national parks while keeping costs manageable. You still explore the parks in a safari vehicle with an experienced driver-guide, but sleep at campsites or simple lodges. The main savings come from accommodation, meals and whether you travel privately or join a group.
