Charlie is about exploring really cool remote locations and doing so with attention to the small things. The camp is lightweight allowing your location to move within the area over a few days. Time in camp is varied; walk in the cool of the day, head out on a game drive as the evening sun sets or just enjoy quiet moments.
Designed with exploration in mind, lightness of touch and mobility are central to its purpose. Charlie can get into - and around - some of Tanzania’s least explored wilderness areas - Ugalla is certainly that. Places where we have the freedom to be truly flexible. To be alone, but connected in ways we may have forgotten.
Charlie sets up in southern Tanzania from the beginning of July for the whole dry season. During these months the river dries pulling wildlife in from the surrounding bush, visibility opens up, tracks are clearer, and movement concentrates along floodplain edges. It’s quieter, sharper, and perfectly suited to slow, attentive walking safaris.
The camp moves around! Ugalla & Ruaha mid-July to mid-Oct and Southwestern Serengeti Nov to mid-June. (nomad)
This is an exclusive-use camp with up to 4 A-frame tents and 2 shared bathrooms. Minimum age here is 16. 
Southwestern Serengeti
In the southwest edge of the Serengeti National Park, Charlie slips into a landscape of big open plains, acacia woodland and iconic granite kopjes that rise like islands from the grass. It’s a place of Rift Valley views, quiet corners and wide horizons, where you can walk in almost any direction and the terrain shifts around you — ground, vegetation, light, all changing with each step. This isn’t a migration‑led safari; the joy here lies in exploring spectacular scenery on foot, sharing space with resident wildlife and Maasai communities who move through these lived‑in edges of the ecosystem. It’s rugged, raw and wonderfully off the usual path.
Ruaha
In Ruaha, Charlie is about exploring really cool remote locations in prime walking and big game country. The camp is lightweight allowing you to move locations within the area over a few days.
Time in camp is varied; walk in the cool of the day, head out on a game drive as the evening sun sets or just enjoy quiet moments. And it's here, where the Ruaha River gathers itself after the vast Usangu wetlands, in Ruaha's dry season from July to October where Charlie settles into a quieter stretch of this vast national park.
Riverine woodland, open bushland and floodplain edges draw in wildlife, making this one of the most rewarding places to explore on foot. Days unfold slowly: listening more, noticing more, walking between baobabs and jackalberry trees as the river shapes the rhythm of the safari. Ruaha is perfect walking country - on foot, the details come alive: dry‑season tracks, and the slower rhythm that makes this vast, little‑visited landscape so rewarding.
Ugalla
Very few people have been to Ugalla and you're likely to have the entire park to yourselves. Charlie fits this pioneering landscape perfectly.
This new National Park is raw, nuanced country — floodplains, palm forests, shifting river channels and wide, quiet woodlands. Charlie is a wonderful option for exploring this lesser know location: light on its feet, able to follow conditions, explore on foot, and settle into places shaped by weather, tracks, and movement. Wildlife here rewards curiosity rather than checklist thinking, making Charlie the ideal way to understand how a young wilderness evolves season by season.
Sanjan
Sanjan is where the land feels almost other‑worldly and a superb option to fall off the map for a spellbinding few days exploring with Charlie. A dramatic sweep of soaring cliffs, deep gorges and open plains, this is walking country at its most atmospheric. From the heights around Lake Natron to the shadow of Ol Donyo Lengai, the landscape is vast, raw and almost overwhelming. Routes range from easy explorations to long, challenging days on foot, shaped by weather, fitness and curiosity. Maasai cattle move through the valleys and vultures circle on rising thermals. It’s a place of geology, culture and wilderness intertwined.
Charlie sets up in Sanjan for the stunning green season months from mid November to mid May.
