4-Day Upper Mid-Range Serengeti Tour with Arukore Simba Camp
Why this Package
A timing-sensitive 4-Day safari tour: explore the stunning landscapes of Central Serengeti, the vibrant wildlife of North Serengeti, and the breathtaking views of Ngorongoro. This journey is perfect for first-time visitors or those looking to combine their adventure with a relaxing beach escape in Zanzibar.
At Arukore Simba Camp, an upper mid-range tented lodge in the heart of Central Serengeti, you will enjoy a blend of comfort and rustic charm. The camp's central location allows for easy access to year-round predator activity and migration herds during transitional months. Meals are thoughtfully prepared, featuring early tea and coffee, picnic breakfasts, packed lunches, and plated three-course dinners that combine local flavors with international staples.
Your accommodation includes spacious canvas tents equipped with king or twin beds, en-suite bathrooms with flush toilets and hot showers, and private verandas where you can unwind after a day of exploration. The main lodge features a cozy lounge, dining tent, and a fire pit, creating a welcoming atmosphere for relaxation.
After your stay in Central Serengeti, you will head to the Ngorongoro Marera Mountain View Lodge, set on a breezy slope above Karatu. This value-minded mid-range base offers stunning valley views and a calm setting, ideal for unwinding after your safari adventures. Enjoy hearty, home-style meals that reflect the fresh produce of the region, and relax in spacious cottage rooms with fireplaces and verandas.
With easy access to both Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara, this lodge is perfectly situated for alternating park visits. The overall balance of comfort and authenticity makes this safari a memorable experience, allowing you to immerse yourself in the breathtaking landscapes and rich wildlife of Tanzania.
For those looking to experience the thrill of a fly-in safari, this tour offers the convenience of bush flights from Arusha to Serengeti, ensuring you spend more time enjoying the sights and less time traveling.
