5-Day Upper Mid-Range Tanzania Safari with Baobab Central Serengeti
Why this Package
A northern classic condensed into a 5-day safari tour: explore the stunning landscapes of Central Serengeti, the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, and the diverse wildlife of Tarangire. This itinerary combines the thrill of bush flights from Arusha with the comforts of mid-range and upper mid-range lodges, ensuring an unforgettable experience.
Your adventure begins at the Baobab Central Serengeti Tented Camp, an upper mid-range seasonal camp nestled in the heart of the Serengeti. Here, you can enjoy hearty meals, including picnic breakfasts and communal dinners, perfect for fueling your long days of exploration. The canvas tents offer comfortable king or twin beds, en-suite bathrooms, and inviting verandas to soak in the surrounding beauty. With easy access to the Serengeti, you’ll be well-positioned to witness the majestic predators that roam the area.
Next, you’ll head to Country Lodge Karatu, a reliable mid-range option in Karatu. This lodge is ideal for families and couples seeking comfort without breaking the bank. Enjoy buffet meals featuring a mix of international and Tanzanian dishes, and relax in cottage rooms that come equipped with en-suite bathrooms and verandas. The lodge's proximity to the Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara makes it a convenient base for your adventures.
Each park offers unique wildlife experiences. In Tarangire, marvel at the iconic baobabs and large elephant herds, while the Ngorongoro Crater provides opportunities for spotting the Big Five. The Central Serengeti is renowned for its year-round predator sightings, making it a dream for wildlife enthusiasts.
With a well-planned itinerary that allows for deeper exploration of each park, this safari is perfect for both first-timers and repeat visitors looking to immerse themselves in Tanzania’s rich wildlife and stunning landscapes.

Book with the Right Tour Operator
Each safari company has its own strengths — some specialize in luxury safaris, some in mid-range, and some in budget trips. Their expertise depends on years of experience in specific price categories, the quality of their guides and vehicles, and the lodge partnerships they’ve built over time.
