5-Day Upper Mid-Range Tanzania Safari with Lemala Ngorongoro
Why this Package
A northern classic condensed into 5-Day safari tour: explore the stunning landscapes of Central Serengeti, the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, and the diverse wildlife of Tarangire. This journey combines the luxury of tented accommodations with the thrill of bush flights from Arusha, ensuring a seamless and immersive experience.
Your adventure begins at Lemala Ngorongoro Tented Camp, a premier camp known for its intimate hosting and exceptional access to the crater. Enjoy chef-led camp cuisine featuring early breakfasts and delightful dinners under the stars. The canvas tents are equipped with proper beds, winter-weight duvets, and en-suite bathrooms, providing a cozy retreat after a day of exploration.
Next, you’ll stay at Ngorongoro Marera Mountain View Lodge, perched on a breezy slope above Karatu. This lodge offers a calm atmosphere with spacious cottage rooms that feature fireplaces and verandas, perfect for unwinding. The meals here are hearty and home-style, designed to keep you energized for your safari adventures.
Your journey culminates at TAASA Lodge, located near Klein’s Gate on the Serengeti/Loliondo border. This lodge is ideal for those seeking fewer vehicles and a more exclusive experience. Indulge in upscale bush cuisine, with flexible dining options that include bush breakfasts and boma dinners. The large tented suites offer stunning views over the Lobo Valley, enhancing your connection to the wild.
With a well-planned itinerary, you’ll have ample time to witness the incredible wildlife, including the Big Five and the majestic elephants of Tarangire. Each park offers unique experiences, making this safari perfect for both first-timers and seasoned travelers.
