A Night Under the African Sky

One of the seductive auras of an African safari is the breathtaking lodges that safarists temporarily call home. But imagine for a moment having the ability to wander from this comfort. Imagine yourself sitting in the open bush before a warm fire near sundown. As the sun wanes, roaring lions can be heard in the distance, joined by whooping hyenas and barking zebras. You look up and observe a starlit sky that belongs solely to Africa. And yet more…you spend the night under this sky – immersed within the mysterious and intriguing world of Africa at night.

Welcome to fly camping.The term simply refers to safarists camping in the bush in a simple remote camp located some distance from a main safari camp. Fly camping can easily be added as a separate option or extension to any Tanzanian safari. Locations such as Tanzania’s Selous Game Reserve or Ruaha National Park are excellent destinations to experience a night under the African sky.
