Frequently Asked Questions – Tanzania Budget Camping Safari
What is included in a Tanzania budget camping safari?
A Tanzania budget camping safari typically includes park entry fees, game drives in a 4×4 safari vehicle with a pop-up roof, an English-speaking guide, camping gear (tent, mattress, sleeping bag), all meals during the safari, drinking water, and accommodation at public or private campsites. Budget safaris also include the services of a professional safari cook who prepares fresh meals daily.
What is the best time to go on a cheap safari in Tanzania?
The best time for a cheap safari in Tanzania is during the low or shoulder seasons from March to May and again in November. These months offer lower rates and fewer crowds while still providing excellent wildlife viewing opportunities, especially in parks like Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti.
Is camping safe on a Tanzanian safari?
Yes, camping in Tanzania is generally safe. Campsites are located within designated areas in or near national parks and are staffed with rangers or camp personnel. While you may hear animals at night, your guides are trained in safety protocols, and tents provide adequate protection when used properly.
How much does a budget safari in Tanzania cost?

Can I join a group to reduce the price?
At this time, Hike Kilimanjaro does not offer group joining options for budget camping safaris.
