A Tanzanian safari is best experienced under canvas, you can only really appreciate the sights, smells and sounds of Africa from a camp. We operate all our own camps as opposed to some folks who book you into other companies’ camps.  That means our tents, our cars. Our cooks, our staff ..... so we can make sure the quality is top notch – every time.

Mobile Luxury Camp – these camps move around during the year so as to be positioned in the perfect spot for the game at any time of year. Being closer to the game concentration means less transit time to and from a distant lodge AND being right in the thick of it all day AND all night! Seasonally we put the camp in Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park and of course the Serengeti.  The tents are a little smaller than the semi permanent camps but are still walk in height with wooden framed beds, en suite toilet and shower and of course the bug proof mess tent and our great food! We keep the camp smaller because the areas we move in are fragile and we feel the large trucks many companies use to transport their ‘luxury’ camps have a terrible impact on the environment – our camps are pared down to offer exceptional comfort but are still  light enough to be transported by pick-ups.

Camp Life - Camps in Africa tend to be grand affairs – totally unlike the scout and guide type camping many people imagine. Our heavy canvas tents are airy inside and have sturdy wooden beds with warm duvets and pillows, each tent has a separate section at the back with a shower (hot water of course) and flushing caravan style toilet. There is also a shaded veranda on the front , somewhere to relax and take in the atmosphere. Meals are sumptuous feasts to be lingered over – waiter served in a roomy bug proof mess tent. Then of course there is the campfire, the focal point of most camps, somewhere to relax with a pre-dinner drink and mull over the events of the day with your fellow travellers. There is something that stirs deep inside all of us as we draw closer to the fire, surrounded by the sounds of the African bush.

Our camps are about small numbers, about exclusivity – about the whole place revolving around the pace and needs of the guests –  from the wake up cup of tea or coffee in your tent then perhaps just a quick biscuit or piece of fruit and off out to see the tail end of the nights action or a full blown drawn out English breakfast  - it’s all about being flexible, and our leaders and guides are phenomenal at bending and twisting the itinerary to make the best possible fit for the weather, the wildlife and the clients.

What you get .... All our camps are full board offering either 3 cooked meals a day or a fantastic picnic feast (we don’t do the lunch boxes with the dried up cucumber sandwiches!)  Every car carries a table and your guide will prepare a fresh salad to accompany the pizza, quiche or roast chicken from camp.  Dinner in camp is a grand affair and we have worked hard to make the menu as varied and interesting as possible, we also include a local option on some night for clients to sample. Evening meals include beer, sodas and wine – and of course filtered drinking water is always available in camp.
