Short but well-rounded, this 5-Day safari tour delivers three different ecosystems—Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and the Central Serengeti—without wasting time. Begin your adventure in Tarangire National Park, famous for its majestic elephants and iconic baobabs, where you can experience the thrill of spotting wildlife against a backdrop of stunning landscapes. Next, descend into the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, renowned for its rich biodiversity and the chance to see the Big Five in one day. Finally, immerse yourself in the vast plains of the Serengeti, where the great migration unfolds, and the presence of big cats is almost guaranteed.

Your stay at Marera Valley Lodge in Karatu offers a comfortable and good-value base. With cozy cottages featuring en-suite bathrooms, private verandas, and fireplaces, you'll find a rustic-chic atmosphere that feels intimate and welcoming. Meals at the lodge are hearty and satisfying, with early breakfasts available for crater departures and communal dinners served on the veranda, allowing you to enjoy views of the valley.

On your journey, you'll also spend a night at Osero Serengeti Tented Camp, where you can enjoy the thrill of being close to nature. The camp's Meru-style tents provide essential comforts, including en-suite bathrooms and solar lighting, ensuring a restful night after a day of adventure. Dining here is social and unfussy, with simple yet hearty meals that bring guests together.

With this itinerary, you’ll not only experience the beauty of Tanzania's diverse ecosystems but also enjoy the convenience of bush flights, making your travel between parks seamless. This safari is perfect for both first-timers and repeat visitors looking to deepen their connection with the wild.
