Not all a Bed of Roses

It's no fun camping in the rain or being stuck in the mud in Ruaha National Park, but wild camping and breakfast in the park makes up for it!

By the Indian Ocean

Camping, sailing and pruning coconut palm. It's a hard life for some.

Tanzania camps

Serengeti Stop over. Conveniently located 1km outside west gate of Serengeti to allow entrance to park at optimum time.

Tumbili camp at Seronera, access and pitch not best for roof top tent. Kitchen noisy. Dik Dik camp much better.

Wild camp in Ngorongoro conservancy an awesome experience. Call at Rangers post near Nduru Safari lodge to organise. Simba A on edge of crater excellent at bottom of field. firewood very expensive.

Kudu lodge and campsite at Karatu good site to east of Ngorongoro.

Milimani Cottages, Usa River 20 km east of Arusha, superb self catering cottages for a break after Serengeti. 4WD needed to reach them up 3km steep road.

Marangu hotel, campsite in pleasant grounds but space for only one roof top tent, then up short 45 degree slope.

White Parrot motel, Korogwe space for rooftop tent only in car park
