5-Day Mid-Range Serengeti Tour with Africa Safari Rift Valley
Why this Package
A composed circuit in 5-Day safari tour: explore the Central Serengeti, West Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater while enjoying the comforts of mid-range lodges. This journey begins in the stunning landscapes of Zanzibar and takes you through some of Tanzania's most iconic wildlife areas.
Your adventure starts with a flight from Zanzibar to the Serengeti, where you will stay at the Serengeti Pure Tented Camp.

Meals here are simple yet satisfying, featuring hearty stews and communal dinners that foster a sense of camaraderie among guests.
After an immersive day in the Serengeti, you will head to the Africa Safari Rift Valley near Karatu. This lodge provides a relaxed atmosphere with a mix of safari-style tents and bungalow rooms, all equipped with en-suite bathrooms. Guests can enjoy buffet-style meals, including early breakfasts and packed lunches for your crater safari.

With one night in each park, this itinerary allows you to maximize your wildlife sightings while also enjoying the comforts of dependable mid-range accommodations. The blend of scenic drives and bush flights ensures that you spend more time exploring and less time commuting, making it an ideal choice for both first-time visitors and seasoned safari-goers.
