The Ngorongoro Crater, situated 2,286 meters above sea level, is the largest unbroken caldera in the world. Surrounded by very steep walls rising 61 0 meters from the crater floor, this natural amphitheatre covers an area of about 260 square km and is home for up to 25,000 larger mammals, almost half of these being zebra and wildebeest. Gazelle, buffalo, eland, hartebeest and warthog are also to be found. Such vast numbers attract plenty of predators and lion and hyena are easily spotted, while cheetah and leopard are a bit more difficult to find.
The late Professor Bernhard Grzimek wrote in his introduction to the Ngorongoro guidebook: “It is impossible to give a fair description of the crater, for there is nothing with which one con compare it. It is one of the wonders of the world.”

Only 120 km from Arusha lies the Tarangire National Park which borrows its name from the river that threads its way through the length of the park.
It is famous for its dense wildlife population which is most spectacular in the dry season between June and October. During this period thousands of animals – wildebeest, zebra, eland, elephant, hartebeest, buffalo and fringe-eared oryx – migrate in search of water from the dry savannah in the west to the Tarangire River. As the watercourses fill up, animals start drifting away and soon only the resident species – giraffe, rhino, waterbuck, impala, kudu and dik-dik are left.

The Serengeti National Park is one of the best known wildlife sanctuaries in the world. “Serengeti” is the Masai term for “endless savannah,” and is home to more than 3 million large mammals living in total freedom. About 35 species of savannah animals con be seen here. In May or early June, huge herds of wildebeest, gazelle and zebra begin their spectacular annual migration in search of greener pastures in Masai Mara in Kenya and west of the park. Columns of wildebeest 40 km long have been seen – a truly awe-inspiring sight.
In their wake follow the predators; lion, cheetah, hyena and hunting dogs with vultures circling-overhead. Other common species found here include hippo, giraffe, eland, impala and other antelope and a profusion of almost 500 bird species.

Madhur R2023-09-29A memorable trip We had an amazing trip thanks to Imran who was there from Day 1 to make sure everything went to plan. Ben our guide and driver was wonderful with his knowledge about the animals. Nothing was too much for him as he readily and patiently took us out for game drives until we had our fill. We ended on a fantastic note watching the migration which is something we will never forget. Thank you to Imran and his entire team for making this such a memorable tripLeila N2023-09-29Family greatest trip We had the greatest time ever ! All very well organized by Imran. Hotels and Logdes were as great as expected (with view of Kilimanjaro in the first one :) Our guide was just terrific : kind, patient, very good driver, and gave us lot of explainations ! Safe drive, and very efficient in finding good spots !Thks Raf :) We saw the big 5 and a lot more , even a hunting episode ... that was intense Although I am a Mom, I felt I was kid ! I really appreciated everything and strongly recommend this agencyAnushree S2023-09-25Super experience, second time around! This was our second time with Best Camping Safaris, and we had a wonderful experience yet again! From planning the itinerary, to meeting us when we landed in Kenya and briefing us regarding our impending travels with helpful guidance, being in touch regarding pick ups and drop offs and coordinating them without any problems, having a really lovely driver and guide (Ben), and ensuring extra care because we were travelling with our two young kids, to the point of final goodbyes, Imraan and his team were the absolute best. We got to see all the animals (the big five, and more!) we wanted, as well as a chance to see the wildebeest migration live! Best camping ensure you maximise your safari experience but without compromising on safety, and quality. We cannot wait to go back again on another adventure with them! Thank you for a lovely trip and amazing memories :-)A Rao2023-09-25Amazing experience! An unforgettable experience thanks to Imraan and team! Everything was meticulously planned from arrival to the end of the tour. The team was always at the end of the line to answer any questions and gave the tour a real personal touch. Ben was a super guide on the safari and so helpful and accommodating and thanks to him we were able to see a huge amount of game as well the migration. Thanks again to Best Camping for everything and we can’t wait for our next experience with them!Lisa K2023-09-21A Dream Experience This trip was beyond our expectations.

We saw lots of animals and our guide was very patient and experienced and just a great human being. I would highly recommend this company to anyone.Sara M2023-09-20Best Csmping is Indeed Best We spent five days with Muhammad touring the Mara and Nakuru. It was better than we imagined. Within 24 hours we had seen 4 of the big 5 and by the end had seen all 5 plus so much more. Muhammad is knowledgeable, patient, funny, and kind. I highly recommend!Shashikala M2023-09-19Fantastic Safari experience Our Kenyan Safari we choose to do with Imraan and best Camping Tours and Safaris as recommended by a friend. This proved to be the best decision of our lives. Imraan is very professional and accessible at all times to answer any and every question we had, taking care of us from pickup at the airport to drop back to the airport. The driver cum guide Robert was extremely safe and has a good eye to spot animals. All our Safaris were very productive and we were able to see all the big cats and the migration to our hearts content. Making sure all through the drive to the various parks and the safaris helping us spot animals while also following rules and keeping us safe this was a fantastic trip. I recommend a Kenyan Safari with Best Camping and tours to everyone keen on seeing animals in natural settings!shashi m2023-09-19Memorable Trip Wonderful Trip. The sightings of all Animals especially big 5 at Samburu and Masai Mara was outstanding and up close. The guide and driver Robert was very informative, pleasant and helpful. The Lodging and boarding was excellent and food was also tasty. The staff in all places were warm and welcoming. Imraan your suggestions wrt Samburu and the Ark was simply wonderful. The hospitality extended by you and Shivanand was truly outstanding and gave us afamily feeling. You simply crafted and created a truly memorable experience which will be forever embedded in us. Thanks a million for a wonderful time.

Madhur Rao2023-09-30A wonderful and memorable trip thanks to Imran and special mention of Ben our guide. Watching the migration was an amazing experience. The entire trip was so well planned and each hotel/accommodation unique in its own way. From tented rooms to the beach resort where we were spoilt for choice of food. Now we need to work on losing that extra weight! But every moment of our trip is one we will cherish.

Lucas was an excellent driver & guide! Highly recommend!Shibu Cyriac2023-09-01Extremely overwhelmed by the experience we had with Best Camping tours .we were well taken care of during our stay . Really appreciate Imran’s prompt responses to address our queries and concerns not only during our stay there but right from the time we decided to plan for this trip . He was always in touch with us and we were assisted at every step whenever required which made us feel ‘ a home away from home’ . Friendly and well experienced guide who was with us throughout our stay at Masai Mara camp, made us feel comfortable through his friendly and understanding behavior. All over great experience and I strongly recommend Best Camping tours to all those who are looking forward for a visit to Kenya .. Thank you Best Camps for your remarkable services !!!Kai O'Donobhan2023-03-12I did a 8 day safari, and could not reinstate how happy I am that I chose Best Camping Tours and Safari. I wanted to do a trip around Kenya that provided me with the most local experience, alongside being able to witness as much of the country as we could throughout our holiday. Imran was always available over call, and listened to what we wanted out of our trip and organised a personalised experience that exceeded our expectations – Imran helped us on a scale beyond the scope that we would have expected from him, including preparation for the trip. We went across Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Elementaita and Amboseli (before ending the safari and exploring Mombasa, which Imran also kindly helped with). Mo accompanied us on the trip across the 4 reserves – I was very impressed by his knowledge of each national reserve, which was clear as we drove through. His expertise in the national reserves provided us with the opportunity to see the big 5 (which is very rare), alongside breath-taking views of 5+ cheetahs. Mo’s expertise enriched our overall experience significantly. Each accommodation (including the unique experience provided at the local Masai Mara site) was fantastic, and truly made this one of the best trips of my life. I could not recommend Best Camping Tours and Safari further, if you would like a safe, reliable experience of Kenya with local coverage to make the most out of each natural reserve.Mike Guest2022-12-035 stars isn't enough for the level of service that Imraan provides. Right from booking he was there for any questions, making sure we had everything worked out and even making suggestions we hadn't thought of. The tour he arranged for Masai Mara was amazing and our driver Ben was equally great! He always seemed to know where to stop for the best view and it didn't matter how long we did or didn't want to watch or take pictures. Sometimes you meet someone for business and when you're done, that's the end of it and then sometimes you're lucky enough to do business with someone you consider a friend...and that's Imraan and the rest of his crew!baptiste pilloix2022-10-30Super accueil, Imrann est attentionné, nous a beaucoup aidé pour nos premiers jours à Nairobi. Le safari s'est déroulé à merveille, avec un guide passionné, le tout pour un prix correct. Je recommande vivement !Punita Agarwal2022-08-31Just finished a 9 day tour with Best Camping tours....our experience was phenomenal. Everything was well taken care of. Our driver knew a lot about the Amborsili and Masai Mara parks and the jungle and that was a great help in spotting the animals. The owner Imraan takes personal care of all your needs and that reflects in his staff too. All in all, an unforgettable experience .Google rating score: 4.6 of 5, based on 31 reviews
