Experience Tanzania Beyond the Ordinary Safari
Discover a more intimate side of Tanzania with Chaka Expeditions, an adventurous wilderness experience by Bush & Forest Explorers. Designed for travellers who want to connect more closely with nature, fly camping offers a chance to spend time in the African bush away from the familiar setting of a conventional safari lodge.
Travel through remarkable landscapes, observe the details of the natural world and enjoy an evening in the wilderness beneath the African sky. Depending on your itinerary and the location, your experience may include a guided walk, wildlife viewing, a simple temporary camp and time around the campfire.
Every expedition is planned around the destination, the season, the available permissions and the level of adventure you are looking for.
What Is Fly Camping in Tanzania?
Fly camping is a lightweight, temporary camping experience that allows travellers to spend a night or more in the wilderness with only the essential equipment and services needed for the planned trip.
Unlike a permanent lodge or an established mobile tented camp, a fly camp is designed around simplicity and a closer connection with the surrounding environment. The precise setup varies according to the destination and the arrangements made for your safari.
With Chaka Expeditions camp, the focus is not simply on where you sleep. It is on the experience of being in the bush, noticing the sounds and signs of wildlife, enjoying the changing light across the landscape and discovering a different side of Tanzania.

More Intimate Way to Experience the African Bush
Explore Beyond the Usual Safari Routine
Combine your wilderness camp with a wider safari itinerary, with opportunities for wildlife viewing and, where permitted, guided walking experiences.
Spend an Evening Under the African Sky
Enjoy the atmosphere of the wilderness after sunset, from the quiet of the surrounding landscape to the simple pleasure of gathering around a campfire where campfire arrangements are permitted.
Travel Light and Keep Things Simple
Fly camping is about the essentials rather than elaborate facilities. Equipment, sleeping arrangements, meals and washing facilities depend on the specific expedition booked.
Make It a Private Adventure
Chaka Expeditions is designed for travellers seeking a more personal wilderness experience. We can discuss your interests, travel dates, fitness level and preferred destinations to determine the most suitable arrangements.
Where Can You Experience Chaka Expeditions Camp?
Chaka Expeditions may be arranged in selected Tanzanian wilderness destinations, depending on season, access, park regulations and the availability of suitable locations.
Tarangire National Park
Discover a landscape known for its baobab trees, seasonal wildlife concentrations and expansive savanna. Tarangire can be an exciting setting for travellers looking for a deeper connection with the northern safari circuit.
Lake Manyara and Surrounding Wilderness
Explore the varied landscapes around Lake Manyara and the surrounding area through a carefully planned safari. The exact camping location and activities depend on the relevant permissions and arrangements.
Serengeti National Park
Experience the immense landscapes and wildlife of the Serengeti as part of a wider safari itinerary. Chaka Expeditions offers a lighter wilderness-camping concept, distinct from the more accommodation-focused experience of Pori Nomad Camp.
All destinations and activities are subject to operational feasibility, applicable permissions and confirmation at the time of booking.
What to Expect on a Chaka Expedition
Your experience will depend on the itinerary, destination and camp setup. Before booking, we will explain the accommodation, meals, equipment, guiding arrangements, walking requirements, washing facilities and any limitations you should expect.
Fly camping is a simpler and more adventurous alternative to conventional accommodation. It is best suited to travellers who appreciate nature, flexibility and a less conventional way to experience the bush.
Wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed, and walking activities are offered only where permitted and with the appropriate guiding and safety arrangements.
Who Is Chaka Expeditions For?
Chaka Expeditions may appeal to:
- Adventurous travellers seeking something beyond a standard game-drive safari.
- Couples and private travellers interested in a more intimate wilderness experience.
- Nature enthusiasts who want to learn more about the landscape and its wildlife.
- Experienced campers who appreciate simple accommodation and travelling light.
- Safari guests who want to add a distinctive wilderness night to a longer Tanzania itinerary.
If you prefer full-service lodge accommodation or extensive in-room facilities, we can help you choose a more suitable accommodation option for your safari.
