Your journey begins at Africa Safari Rift Valley, located just outside Karatu. This mid-range lodge offers a relaxed atmosphere with a mix of safari-style tents and bungalow rooms, all equipped with en-suite bathrooms.

Next, you’ll head to Tarangire Simba Lodge, an upper mid-range option near Lake Burunge. Known for its spacious rooms and family-friendly environment, this lodge features a central pool and sunset decks, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration. Meals are hearty and practical, with buffet breakfasts and dinners that include both international and local dishes. The lodge’s proximity to the Tarangire National Park ensures you can enjoy early morning game drives to witness the park's famous elephants and iconic baobabs.
Your final night will be spent at Tukaone Weavers Camp Serengeti, a mid-range tented camp in the heart of the Central Serengeti. This camp offers a rustic charm with Meru-style canvas tents, en-suite bathrooms, and communal dining. Meals are simple yet filling, designed to keep you energized for your wildlife adventures. The camp's location allows for shorter transfer times to prime wildlife viewing areas, enhancing your chances of spotting the Big Five.
