Short but well-rounded, this 5-day safari tour delivers three different ecosystems without wasting time, exploring Tarangire, the Central Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater. Enjoy the comforts of a mid-range lodge while immersing yourself in the stunning landscapes and diverse wildlife of Tanzania.

Your journey begins in Tarangire National Park, famous for its impressive elephant herds and iconic baobab trees. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to witness these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. After a day of exploration, retreat to Farmhouse Valley Adventure, a charming lodge on the outskirts of Karatu.

Meals at Farmhouse Valley Adventure are a highlight, featuring full-board dining with locally sourced produce, including ingredients from the lodge’s own gardens. Early breakfast service ensures you’re well-fueled for your safari adventures, and packed lunches are available for your day trips. The polished atmosphere of the lodge provides a comfortable base, although it may require a short drive to reach the Ngorongoro gate, approximately 40-50 minutes away.

Next, you’ll venture into the Central Serengeti, where the wildlife action is consistently thrilling. Staying at Serengeti Wildlands Camp, a mid-range tented camp, you’ll be perfectly positioned for early morning game drives. The camp features Meru-style tents with proper beds and en-suite bathrooms, allowing you to enjoy the sounds of the Serengeti at night. Meals here are simple yet hearty, ensuring you’re well-fed for your adventures.

Your safari culminates in the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for its rich biodiversity. The crater is home to the Big Five and offers incredible opportunities for wildlife sightings. After a day of exploration, return to Farmhouse Valley Adventure for a restful night before concluding your safari back in Arusha.
