Best Safari Camps for Stargazing in Tanzania
Sleep Under the Stars in the Wild Heart of Africa
Tanzania is not only famous for its spectacular wildlife but also for its incredible night skies. With minimal light pollution, especially in remote safari regions, Tanzania offers some of the best stargazing opportunities in Africa. Imagine watching the Milky Way stretch across the sky, hearing lions roar in the distance—all from the comfort of your safari tent. At Mandari Travel, we’ve handpicked the best safari camps for stargazing in Tanzania to ensure your nights are as unforgettable as your days.
Here are our top recommendations for where to combine luxury, wilderness, and the wonder of the stars.
1. Namiri Plains – Eastern Serengeti
If you’re seeking remote luxury with a touch of the cosmos, Namiri Plains Camp is a top choice. Located in a secluded part of the Serengeti, far from the crowds, this camp offers uninterrupted views of the night sky and flat, open landscapes perfect for stargazing. Enjoy private star talks by the campfire or simply lie back on your deck with a pair of binoculars to admire constellations, shooting stars, and even planets.
2. Dunia Camp – Central Serengeti
Run entirely by women, Dunia Camp combines empowerment with extraordinary wilderness experiences. Nestled in the heart of the Serengeti, the camp’s remote setting allows for excellent nighttime visibility. After your game drives, relax with a glass of wine and enjoy the clear skies filled with constellations—especially magical during dry season months (June to October).
3. Jabali Ridge – Ruaha National Park
In southern Tanzania, Jabali Ridge offers a stylish, elevated safari experience with unmatched stargazing. Ruaha is one of the least visited parks in Tanzania, meaning the skies here are free from both light and crowd pollution. This high-end camp features open decks, infinity pools, and private terraces—all ideal for enjoying the celestial show after sunset.
4. Kati Kati Tented Camp – Serengeti
If you prefer a more rustic and budget-friendly option, Kati Kati Camp places you right in the heart of the wild. With no artificial lighting to distract from the experience, it’s an ideal place to marvel at the African night sky. The simple, mobile camp offers an authentic bush atmosphere perfect for old-school safari lovers who want to reconnect with nature—and the stars.
5. Little Oliver’s Camp – Tarangire National Park
Tarangire is known for its baobabs and elephants, but it’s also an amazing place for stargazing. At Little Oliver’s Camp, you’ll find secluded tents with open-air showers and decks ideal for nighttime relaxation. With the sounds of the bush all around you and the Milky Way shining above, it’s a magical place to wind down after a full day of adventure.
