Review of a 5-day Tanzania camping safari from Arusha, covering Tarangire, Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro for $1,100.

“Safari meraviglioso con la compagnia Suricati. La nostra guida Max e il nostro cuoco Salim meravigliosi. Cibo abbondante e ottimo, tende molto comode. Ovviamente è un campeggio in Africa quindi non un resort ma l’esperienza è indimenticabile. Grazie di tutto. Compagnia super consigliata.”
