Fly camping provides guests the opportunity to become completely immersed in the bush, spending days on foot exploring, and nights by the fire regaling tales of the days safari adventures or star gazing. Fly camping is the term for a temporary camp site set up in the bush that can be quickly erected and removed in order to ensure the best game viewing locations. The tents are temporary and vary in terms of comfort levels but for what they lack in luxury they make up for in providing an authentic bush experience. Dinner is cooked on the fire and served communally so guests can chat with one another and the knowledgeable guides accompanying them.
Selous Game Reserve, Katavi National Park and Ruaha National Park are spectacular places for remote fly camping, but there are also some excellent options in the Northern regions. Fly camping is seasonal in some parks, as during the wet season, the bush is too dense in some areas.
Ruaha is home to Kichaka Expeditions, our favourite option for Fly camping enthusiasts, as they are the only camp that focuses primarily on Fly Camping and Walking Safaris. They’re known for their remarkably passionate and knowledgeable guiding; ideal for the adventurous types who would like to experience something unique!
Fly camping may seem a bit nerve-racking for those who have yet to try it, but there is always an armed guide onsite. This is not offered for children but we highly recommend this activity for adventurous adults!
