Camping Safaris

Sleep under a billion stars — authentic, affordable and utterly unforgettable African bush camping

Back to Basics, Close to Nature

Authentic Africa Under The Stars

A camping safari puts you right in the heart of the African wilderness with no barriers between you and the wild. Fall asleep to the distant roar of lions, wake to birdsong and campfire coffee, and spend your days on game drives alongside the great herds of the Mara and Serengeti.

Our camping safaris range from mobile tented camps in the Maasai Mara and Serengeti to comfortable semi-permanent bush camps with proper beds, hot bucket showers and excellent camp-cooked cuisine. All are guided by experienced naturalists who know the bush — and the animals — intimately.

Client testimonial
★★★★★
"A lion roared literally 30 metres from my tent at midnight. At breakfast we watched a cheetah hunt across the plain. It was raw, real Africa — and it cost a fraction of what I expected. Top Poly's guides were absolutely extraordinary. I cannot recommend this highly enough."
