Two types of camping are available:

You'll sleep on the savannah in a special area, in a tent equipped with cots and thick mattresses, pillows and comforters supplied by us. Everything is thoroughly washed between each safari.

-> Outside national parks ( Manyara region )

Camping outside national parks has the advantage of being strategically located. After a safari in TarangireWhen we head off to Serengeti National Park the following day, it's a good idea to sleep outside the park to save time on the road. You'll sleep in a corner of nature, amidst a lush garden, in a specially designated area, in a tent equipped with cots and thick mattresses, pillows and comforters provided by us. Everything is thoroughly washed between each safari. Enjoy a dip in the pool!

In the campsite restaurant, your chef will set your place settings and prepare your meals, so you'll feel just like you're in a restaurant. Showers and toilets are provided in communal buildings.

As it is forbidden to build permanent lodges in national parks, these lodges respect the environment and the animals around them. Although they can be completely dismantled, they are fully furnished and equipped with mosquito nets, a real bathroom and private toilets. These human-scale lodges generally offer 10 or 12 rooms. Meals are served in the lodge's restaurant, located not far from the rooms for your safety.
