Why this package

Short but well-rounded, this 5-Day safari tour delivers three different ecosystems without wasting time. Experience the stunning landscapes and wildlife of Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire while enjoying the comforts of mid-range and upper mid-range accommodations.

Your adventure begins at Arukore Simba Camp in the Central Serengeti, an upper mid-range tented lodge designed for travelers seeking comfort with a rustic character. This lodge is ideally situated for witnessing year-round predator activity and migration herds during transitional months. Meals here include hearty picnic breakfasts, packed lunches, and plated three-course dinners that blend local flavors with international staples.

Accommodations feature canvas tents equipped with king or twin beds, en-suite bathrooms with flush toilets and hot showers, and private verandas to enjoy the surrounding nature. The main lodge includes a cozy lounge, dining tent, and fire pit, providing a warm atmosphere for relaxation after a day of exploration.

Next, you will stay at Baghayo Garden Suites in Karatu, part of the Bougainvillea group. This lodge offers affordable comfort and is a popular stop for safari circuits. With garden-view suites and hearty homestyle meals, it’s perfect for couples and families looking for a simple yet functional stay. The proximity to the Ngorongoro Gate makes it an ideal base for crater tours.

Finally, enjoy the unique experience at Ngorongoro Forest Tented Lodge, located in the forested highlands. This mid-range lodge combines a rustic tented atmosphere with the comforts of a permanent structure. Guests can savor communal dinners by the campfire and take advantage of the early access to the Ngorongoro Crater, ensuring you maximize your wildlife viewing opportunities.

With the blend of comfort, accessibility, and diverse ecosystems, this safari is perfect for both first-time visitors and seasoned travelers looking to explore the best of Tanzania’s wildlife.
