Families appreciate the pace—this 3-day safari takes you through the stunning landscapes of Tarangire and the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, all while enjoying the comforts of a mid-range lodge. Farmhouse Valley Adventure, located on the outskirts of Karatu, provides a relaxed base with spacious chalet-style rooms that feature en-suite bathrooms and verandas overlooking expansive gardens. The lodge is designed to offer comfort without the premium cost associated with crater-rim properties.

During your stay, savor full-board dining with meals prepared from locally sourced produce, including ingredients from the lodge’s own gardens. Early breakfast service ensures you’re ready for exciting morning game drives, while packed lunches are available for your adventures. Dinner is typically buffet-style, offering a good variety that compares favorably to other mid-range options.

Access to the parks is convenient, with the Ngorongoro gate just a short drive away, allowing you to descend into the crater early in the morning when wildlife is most active. The lodge is approximately 14 km from the Ngorongoro Crater, making it a solid choice for those looking to explore this UNESCO World Heritage site, famous for its Big 5 sightings and stunning landscapes.

With one night in Tarangire, known for its iconic baobabs and large elephant herds, and another in Ngorongoro, you’ll have the opportunity to experience diverse wildlife and breathtaking scenery. This itinerary is perfect for first-time visitors or those looking to combine their safari with a trip to Zanzibar or a trek on Mount Kilimanjaro.
