TANZANIA BUDGET SAFARIS

Budget safaris are well developed in Tanzania and campers are taken by Sonline Missions Travel to designated Campsites inside or at the periphery of the various parks. These are areas with basic facilities such as pit/drop latrines and places where one can take a shower and accommodation is in two person tents. Meals are prepared on an open campfire by experienced camping cooks and the climax of each day is the evening of story telling by the camp fire to the accompaniment to the sounds of the African wilderness. Below are some of the popular camping itineraries: -
