Strip away all the frills, take just the bare essentials and for a night or two, try sleeping on a bed roll under the stars. In one or two very special areas bordering the Serengeti, Tarangire and the Rift Valley it's still possible to have such an elemental experience as this, based from a light mobile camp. There's no better way to take in the immensity of the African wild; dinner quietly chatting by a camp fire, then retreat to your bedroll high on a vantage point, to contemplate the inky firmament, and the sights and sounds of the African night.
We can’t get enough of this place – it’s at its best when most people don’t even think of travelling to Tanzania, so it’s somewhere you stand a chance of sharing only with the nomadic Maasai to whom this area is home and the migrating wildebeest and other game that floods in once the rains come. The Gol Mountains lie in the northern end of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, close to the border with the Serengeti National Park (just to the west) and Loliondo, (just to the North). Read more?
Our approach with the Light Mobile Camp has been to emphasize the ingredients that give a safari its unique flavour - an excellent guide, access to the best areas, great food and a comfortable camp – while minimizing the cost on things that most people can do with out in the context of a safari…namely the bling. This camp is aimed squarely at folks who are after an outstanding wilderness experience that is both real and affordable. It was specifically to offer an alternative to staying in public campsites in busy areas on a budget camping safari, or standing in buffet lines on a lodge-based safari. Light mobile camping makes it possible to have a remote, private, comfortable and stylish bush experience. Take a look at a short video to find out more about this camp. Read more?
