A safari in Tanzania is best experienced under canvas, close to nature, and far from the crowds. At African Environments, our exclusive-use tented camps offer exactly that — private, comfortable wilderness camps designed to immerse you in the landscapes and wildlife that make Tanzania extraordinary.
Unlike large lodges, our camps are small, personal and privately operated, meaning your group enjoys the entire camp to yourselves. This creates a relaxed atmosphere where days unfold naturally — whether around the campfire under the stars, sharing stories after a day’s game drive, or waking to the sounds of the African bush.
With nearly 40 years of experience guiding safaris across Tanzania, we have carefully designed each camp to balance comfort, sustainability and authenticity.
Safari Camps Designed to Tread Lightly
Our camps are built with the principle of leaving the lightest possible footprint on the environment. The structures are semi-permanent, meaning they can be removed without permanently altering the landscape.
Key sustainability features include:
- 100% solar power — no noisy generators
- Filtered drinking water systems to reduce plastic waste
- Responsible waste management and recycling systems
- Low-impact camp structures that protect fragile ecosystems
All camps are certified by Responsible Tourism Tanzania, ensuring strict environmental and operational standards.
By staying in our camps, guests help support sustainable tourism, conservation, and local livelihood
Private Safari Camps in Exceptional Locations
Each of our camps is located in carefully selected areas within Tanzania’s most spectacular landscapes. These are dedicated special campsites within National Parks and Conservation Areas, meaning you are surrounded by nature and wildlife while remaining far from busy lodge circuits.
Our camps include:
Pembezoni Camp — Serengeti National Park
Located close to the Serengeti’s remote wilderness areas, Pembezoni is the base for our renowned Serengeti walking safaris and offers an authentic, wild safari atmosphere far from crowded tourist routes.
Mysigio Camp — Ngorongoro Highlands
Nestled in the lush forests and rolling hills of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Mysigio combines incredible scenery with rich cultural experiences alongside Maasai communities.
Itikoni Camp — Arusha National Park
Set in the green foothills of Mount Meru, Itikoni is a peaceful and wildlife-rich camp ideal for walking safaris, canoeing and the start or end of a Tanzanian safari.
Comfort in the Wild
While our camps are designed to be light on the land, they still offer exceptional comfort:
- Spacious safari tents with proper beds and linens
- En-suite bathrooms with warm bucket showers
- Delicious freshly prepared meals
- Campfire evenings beneath the African stars
- Friendly and highly experienced camp staff
The result is a safari experience that feels both wild and wonderfully comfortable.
A Safari Experience That Is Truly Yours
Because our camps are exclusive-use, your safari unfolds entirely around your group — whether you are a family, group of friends, photographers, or multi-generational travellers.
Your days can include:
- Game drives in iconic wildlife areas
- Guided walking safaris
- Cultural experiences with local communities
- Bush lunches and sundowners in spectacular locations
- Evenings around the campfire sharing stories from the day
This flexibility allows every safari to be tailored to your interests and pace.
Why Safari With African Environments
Choosing African Environments means travelling with a company that has been family-owned and operating in Tanzania for almost four decades, built on strong values of conservation, fairness, and deep local knowledge.
Our safaris are led by highly trained Tanzanian guides, supported by long-standing teams who are paid fairly and trained professionally.
The result is a safari experience that is:
- Ethical and sustainable
- Immersive and authentic
- Privately tailored to you
- Run by people who genuinely love this landscape
“A great surprise to our wildlife safari was that we would be just as excited to come back to camp in the evenings as we were to spend the day spotting the big five. African Environments camps had better food than any hotel I’ve stayed in and made you feel like you were really at one with nature. I slept as sound as a baby too!” Joyce, Montana
