For first safaris, this 6-Day safari tour takes you through the stunning landscapes of Tarangire, the iconic Central Serengeti, and the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, all while enjoying the comforts of a well-appointed tented camp. Jackals Lair Tented Camp in the Central Serengeti (Seronera) provides an authentic safari experience, allowing you to be on the tracks just minutes after sunrise. Here, you can trade marble lobbies for canvas comfort, attentive hosting, and long, flexible game drives.

Your days will start with pre-dawn coffee and light bites, followed by hearty hot breakfasts either in camp or as picnic breakfasts out on the plains. Enjoy picnic lunches that keep you on the loops, and savor plated dinners featuring soups, grilled mains, and seasonal vegetables, with vegetarian options available upon request.

Accommodations include spacious Meru-style tents on raised decks, complete with proper beds, mosquito nets, and en-suite bathrooms featuring flush toilets and hot showers. The camp also offers a convivial mess/lounge tent and a nightly campfire for relaxation after a day of adventure.

After your stay in the Serengeti, you will head to Ngorongoro Marera Mountain View Lodge, a value-minded mid-range base set on a breezy slope above Karatu. This lodge offers hearty, home-style cooking and spacious cottage rooms with fireplaces, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. With easy access to both the Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara, you can alternate parks effortlessly.

Finally, your journey includes a stop at Martina’s Retreat in Karatu, where you can enjoy basic meals featuring Tanzanian staples in a safe and friendly environment. This lodge is particularly appealing for those prioritizing budget-friendly options while still being close to the parks.

With multiple nights in each location, you’ll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the wildlife and landscapes of Tanzania, making this safari not just a trip, but a memorable adventure.
