What's included in the EUR 1,379 price?

The package includes accommodation (safari tent camping), all meals during the safari, transportation between parks, game drives, and national park entrance fees. Confirm exact inclusions with the operator, as some packages may exclude drinks or tips.

Is camping safe? Will I hear dangerous animals?

Camping sites are managed and secured by rangers. You will hear wildlife sounds (lions, hyenas, insects)—this is part of the authentic experience—but animals avoid human settlements. Night security protocols are standard.

How much wildlife will I see in six days?

The Northern Circuit concentrates Africa's highest density of large animals. Expect daily sightings of elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, and predators. Ngorongoro Crater alone has ~25,000 large animals. Big cat sightings (lions, leopards) are common but not guaranteed.

What's the fitness level required?

Moderate fitness is needed: early morning starts (5–6 AM), 4–6 hours of driving daily, and camping setup. You don't need to hike extensively, but long days in vehicles and uneven terrain require comfort with physical activity.

When do I depart from Arusha, and how long are driving days?

Tours typically begin with hotel pickup in Arusha on Day 1. Daily drives range from 4–6 hours between parks. Early starts (5–6 AM) maximize wildlife viewing during active animal hours.

Do I need vaccinations or malaria medication?

Consult your doctor before travel. Malaria precautions are recommended for all Northern Circuit parks. Yellow fever vaccination may be required depending on your home country.

Travel from Arusha through Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater, combining affordability with authentic wilderness camping surrounded by Africa's greatest concentration of large animals.

This is a 6days Classic Camping Safari in Tanzania.

This is an ideal safari package also if you are travelling to Africa on a tight package or if you just fancy an Adventure in Africa. Imagine yourself at the middle of the Vast Serengeti Savannah plains camping in the midst of nowhere with all sorts of wild sounds at night, from the lions roaring in the distance to the crickets whistling above the trees and hyenas laughing not very far from the well secured camping ground.

our guide Elena really knew their stuff and two rhinos by the waterhole was the highlight ... Mid-week so it was quiet so it wasnt too busy. On a rainy sunday, and fine even with my dodgy knee, and spotted maybe 30 species. Would book again no question.

our guide Luca had so many stories and a cheetah on the hunt was the highlight. Mid-week so it was quiet so it wasnt too busy. Spot on for a couples day out, and we saw 4 of the big five in one day, and did it on our first morning. Would book again no question, no joke

our guide Yuki was brilliant and a leopard up a tree near the river was the highlight, and fine even with my dodgy knee, and out for a solid 6 hours.
