A camping safari trades some creature comforts for an unmatched sense of immersion — falling asleep to the distant call of hyenas and waking to birdsong right outside your tent.
Pack light, breathable layers for warm days and cooler evenings, a good headlamp, insect repellent, and a reusable water bottle. Most of our camping itineraries include comfortable dome or safari tents with proper bedding, so you won't need to bring sleeping bags unless requested.
Camps are staffed by experienced crews who set up ahead of your arrival each evening, prepare meals over the campfire, and keep watch through the night — safety is never compromised for authenticity.
If you're considering camping over lodge-based safaris, it's worth asking your consultant which parks suit each style best, as some routes are better served by one or the other.
