Fly camping combines the excitement of experiencing the real African Bush at night with camping amenities. Whilst we try to retain all the qualities of camping under the stars we also ensure that you are well looked after. You will be provided you with cold drinks, freshly prepared meals, open air toilet, hot shower, soap, towels, transport and a field expert. You also have the choice of two sleeping arrangements, the first which we thoroughly recommend is a comfortable mattress in a custom made mosquito net, and this allows you to sleep directly under the stars with a delicate breeze to cool you as you sleep. If however the noises of the Park become too intimidating for you, we also provide you with your own solid tent. This is one experience you do not want to miss. The only thing we recommend you bring is some good stories for the camp fire

Shopping: Tingatinga paintings, makonde carvings, beaded masai necklaces, basket ware, precious jewels (tanzanite)
