4-Day Mid-Range Tanzania Safari with Ngorongoro Forest Lodge
Why this Package
Short window, big return: Experience a thrilling 4-day safari through Tarangire, Ndutu Serengeti, and Ngorongoro while enjoying the comforts of mid-range lodges. This itinerary is perfectly timed to witness the spectacular Great Wildebeest Migration and the calving season in Ndutu, where you can observe the circle of life unfold amidst the stunning landscapes.
Your adventure begins in Tarangire National Park, renowned for its massive elephant herds and iconic baobabs. Here, you will enjoy a full day of game drives, immersing yourself in the rich wildlife and breathtaking scenery. Afterward, you will head to the Ndutu Serengeti, where the action is at its peak during the calving season. Expect to see predators on the hunt, all while staying at the comfortable Sero Tented Camp Ndutu, which offers a unique mobile camp experience, allowing you to be close to the wildlife.
Your journey continues to the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where you will have the chance to spot the Big Five in one of the most stunning natural arenas on earth. The Ngorongoro Forest Tented Lodge provides a cozy retreat in the highlands, with hearty meals and rustic accommodations that enhance your connection to nature.
Meals at both lodges are designed to keep you fueled for your adventures. At Sero Tented Camp Ndutu, enjoy basic yet filling meals served in a communal setting, while the Ngorongoro Forest Tented Lodge offers hearty meals in a cozy mess area, perfect for sharing stories after a day of exploration. Each lodge features comfortable accommodations, with en-suite bathrooms and stunning views, ensuring a restful night after your exciting days.
With convenient access to all parks, this safari is ideal for first-time visitors or those looking to combine their adventure with a trip to Zanzibar or a trek up Mount Kilimanjaro. The blend of wildlife, stunning landscapes, and cultural immersion makes this safari a memorable experience.

Book with the Right Tour Operator
