4-Day Upper Mid-Range Serengeti and Manyara Safari with Kitela Lodge
Why this Package
A compact safari that blends the stunning landscapes of Tarangire, the iconic wildlife of Central Serengeti, and the serene beauty of Lake Manyara. This 4-day adventure begins in Arusha and returns to the same vibrant city, making it an ideal choice for first-time visitors or those looking to combine their safari with a trip to Zanzibar or a trek on Mount Kilimanjaro.
Your journey starts with a stay at Kitela Lodge, a serene hideaway surrounded by lush gardens and coffee fields. Enjoy plated dinners featuring fresh, local produce and unwind in cottage-style suites that offer cozy fireplaces and private verandas overlooking the tranquil landscape. The lodge's proximity to the Ngorongoro Gate ensures you can make the most of your early morning game drives, maximizing your chances of spotting the Big Five.
As you explore Tarangire National Park, known for its majestic elephants and iconic baobab trees, you’ll experience the thrill of wildlife encounters in a stunning natural setting. The next stop is the Central Serengeti, where you can witness the great migration and see big cats in their natural habitat. Finally, you’ll visit Lake Manyara, famous for its tree-climbing lions and vibrant birdlife, providing a perfect end to your safari adventure.
With a mix of comfortable accommodations, diverse wildlife experiences, and breathtaking landscapes, this safari promises an unforgettable journey through Tanzania's most iconic parks.
