“Out of Africa”

Out of Africa Tent Safari is an idea that came after doing research and discovering that many companies offer a Tanzania camping service that is similar to none and offers a chance for guests to stay close to nature. That’s how I got the idea of Out of Africa Tent Safari., inspired us to organize a different kind of safari, free in nature in the Tanzanian national parks, a camp set up for you by your crew, sleeping in tents with beds, In the evening, dine around a campfire with your own chef, away from the beaten track and accompanied by a knowledgeable Tanzanian guide in search of the ever-migrating game.

“Strong organization, very unique concept, the knowledge of the guide, the very friendly crew, and the food were delicious! We can’t think of a better way to experience our safari in Tanzania”.

An “off the beaten track” tent safari in Tanzania.
That is not easy to achieve because it requires a well-trained crew who find their own ways and know how to save themselves without help nearby, and that requires good equipment, because being free in nature also means that there is no provision whatsoever .

Because, also in Tanzania, a tent safari was associated with sleeping on the ground in dome tents and low budget, we founded our own Tanzanian tour operator in 2009 and specialized in classic mobile tent safaris. At first this even caused some hilarity when our crew was seen lugging tents and beds with the heavy tents, toilet and shower. For our guests, having a campfire in the middle of the Serengeti in the evening with just the two of you or your own family provides a unique experience in the great Tanzanian nature.

With its very game-rich and extensive national parks (1/3 of Tanzania is a nature reserve), there are many reasons to choose Tanzania for your safari of a lifetime. In addition, the beaches of Tanzania offer you a great opportunity to recover from the safari.

Campsites for tent safaris in Tanzania’s national parks.

Public campsites.

Other groups can also come to the public campsites, you are alone at the special campsites. These campsites must be booked well in advance and give you a real “Out of Africa” feeling.

The equipment we use for such service are:  De-luxe A-type tents with headspace, fully equipped with stretchers and Maasai bed sheets., 4WD Safari Landcruiser, table , Safari Chairs

Special campsites.

There are no facilities such as water and sanitary facilities at special campsites. They are often no more than mown pieces of land with a name sign, in the middle of the bush. There are special campsites in every Tanzanian national park, but especially in the Serengeti, an area of 200 by 200 kilometers, the special campsites are far from the beaten track. These are ideal to camp on the route of the Great Migration, the migration of 1,500,000 wildebeest and 300,000 zebras. The Serengeti park organization has recently opened ten new special campsites.

Together with you, we select those campsites that best suit your preferences, based on the season. For a stay at a special campsite, permits must be requested from the Tanzanian National Park Organization several months in advance.

Sleep comfortable in Deluxe Safari Tents.

A good night’s sleep is important after a tiring safari. That is why we have opted for beds that are equipped with a mattress, bed linen and pillows. The camp is further equipped with good safari chairs, table, sink and lanterns and, depending on the size of the group, a mess tent.

Sleeping tents:  canvas, ground surface 280×250 cm, height 215 cm, fixed ground sheet of PVC coated polyester, windows are insect-proof with zippers in the inside and outside flap and the tent has a spacious awning. The tent offers enough space to place 3 stretchers.

You sleep on beds with a mattress and all (Maasai) bedding is also present. You can put the luggage under the bed.

Chairs: a comfortable safari chair per person.

Sanitary facilities:  1 shower and 1 toilet tent. 2 safari wash bins per tent.
Of course, a shower and toilet tent is also part of the equipment. The cook will even make sure you can take a hot shower in the middle of the bush!

The Number of Crew Members and Transport depends on the size of the group:

2 guests, 3man crew: 1 guide, 1 cook, 1 assistant, 1 x 4WD.
4 guests, 4 man crew: 1 guide, 1 cook, 2 assistants, 1 x 4WD, 1 luggage car.
