In Tanzania, Bushlore Africa, whose Toyotas equipped for camping are presented on its South African page, has only one departure point: Dar es Salaam, the great port on the coast. Where the 4x4 will be handed over to you, whether at a depot, by appointment or by delivery, is specified at the time of booking. We have not yet recorded any models or prices in the country: the search shows what is available for your dates.
Setting off from the Indian Ocean naturally points the trip towards the south and the interior. Mikumi National Park is about 300 km away via the Morogoro road, Ruaha is reached via Iringa, and Nyerere, the former Selous Game Reserve, stretches to the south-west of the city. The northern circuit, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire, on the other hand, means more than 600 km to Arusha before the first safari.
Our view: a logical departure point for a safari in the southern parks, which are less crowded than those in the north, with the freedom to sleep in a rooftop tent at park campsites. Its limits: a single city, no recorded data to gauge the rates, and a long road transfer if the Serengeti is your priority; Safari Masters, present in Arusha and Seronera, is then worth weighing up.
