Camping Safaris,Under The Stars, Without The Faff

Bell tents, campfires and a sky so full of stars you forget your phone exists.

Overview

What's A Camping Safari All About?

Canvas walls, a crackling fire and a sky so full of stars you will forget your phone exists. A camping safari puts you right inside the wild, with the sounds of the night as your soundtrack.

Our camp crew pitches the tents, cooks the dinner and washes the dishes. You just sit by the fire and listen to the hyenas gossip.

It is also the friendliest way to see East Africa, with real comfort, real adventure and prices that leave more room for the next trip.
