Although the number of campsites is limited, both Kenya and Tanzania offer opportunities for tent campers, including camping on private or park lands. Some of the campsites have amenities such as hot showers and toilet facilities, while others require that you provide everything you need, including water.
Some camping areas have bandas, or small huts. They usually have basic facilities, but you will still need to bring your own bedding and camping equipment.
With combined camping safaris that include destinations in both Kenya and Tanzania, you can explore places like Lake Nakuru in Kenya and Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengenti in Tanzania. Camping safaris are available as a private service or for small groups.
Whatever type of camping trip you choose, keep in mind that the wildlife in the area may get curious and investigate your belongings. Animals such as baboons have been known to tear up lightweight tents. Many parks offer guards to watch over your tent for an extra cost while you are away.
