5-Day Mid-Range Serengeti Tour with Osero Camp
Why this Package
Crater Big 5, kopje lions and west-side thickets—this 5-day safari tour takes you through the stunning landscapes of Central Serengeti, West Serengeti, and the iconic Ngorongoro Crater, all while enjoying the comforts of mid-range accommodations.
Your adventure begins with a stay at Osero Serengeti Tented Camp, perfectly positioned in the Central Serengeti for easy access to wildlife sightings. This camp offers a rustic yet comfortable experience, ideal for families and groups who prioritize wildlife proximity over luxury. Meals are hearty and communal, featuring picnic breakfasts and simple dinners that foster a social atmosphere.
After your time in the Serengeti, you will head to KanKari Lodge Karatu on the outskirts of Karatu, where you can unwind in a peaceful garden setting. Enjoy full-board meals with fresh local ingredients, and relax in modestly furnished en-suite rooms that offer lovely views of the Karatu highlands. The lodge's intimate atmosphere and personalized service make it a charming base for your Ngorongoro explorations.
With a night in the Ngorongoro Crater, you’ll have the chance to witness the incredible wildlife that inhabits this UNESCO World Heritage site. The crater is famous for its diverse ecosystems and opportunities to spot the Big 5. This itinerary allows for a deeper experience, giving you ample time to appreciate the breathtaking landscapes and rich wildlife of Tanzania.
For those interested in a fly-in option, the bush flights from Zanzibar to the Serengeti add convenience and excitement to your journey. This tour is perfect for first-time safari-goers and those looking to explore the best of Tanzania's wildlife.
Mid-Range Tanzania Safari
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. None of this is visible on websites or forums, which is why NMT connects you directly with the operators best suited to your safari tier.
