Hi
We had a wonderful time in Tanzania last year.We visited Serengeti,ngorongoro & manyara.
We did a 5 day camping safari.We stayed in good public camp sites,except in Serengeti,,we did not like Nguchiro camp...toilets were horrible.Lucky,our operator had a standby chemical toilet which we end up using & it was flashing.Simba campsite was wonderful.A bull elephant walked in the middle of our tents.We saw lots of wildanimals very close at the simba camp.We loved our camp site in manyara,it has swimming pool and the bar was cool.
In serengeti we saw more than 40 lions.Our guide was a cut above the rest.Our camp crew were wonderful,always pack things on time.Camping tents and equipments were very functional.
sorry l failed to attach photos...very nice ones.
My advise is.. leave early,be cheerful to your crew,dont stay at ikoma area.Enjoy..

Thanks for your posting, Claris. What outfitter did you use? What time of year did you go? Let us know if you post any photos online.
We hired Forsters Safaris.It was on September,i will keep on trying to send the link for our photos.
Glad you had a good budget camping trip. Please post some more.
Interesting description of the chemical toilet that came to your rescue--flashing.
If you choose Kodak Gallery Easy Share, these are the instructions.
Here's how to get the Kodak gallery link into a Fodor's post.
Email a link to the photo album to yourself.
At the bottom of the email message that you sent to yourself is a line that reads something like:
"if the link above does not work, copy and paste the line below into your address line."
The line below has a long address. That is what you copy and paste into Fodors.
The Fodor's preview screen will make the link look extra long and maybe even distort the width of the frame. But that is only how it previews. Once you post it wraps around and fits in the normal screen width.
