5-Day Upper Mid-Range Serengeti Safari with Into Wild Africa
Why this Package
The Grumeti season dovetails with this 5-Day safari tour, exploring the breathtaking landscapes of Central Serengeti, West Serengeti, and the iconic Ngorongoro Crater. Experience the thrill of wildlife sightings while staying at Into Wild Africa Tented Camp, an upper mid-range camp that offers stylish authenticity and eco-conscious design. Nestled in the heart of the Central Serengeti, this camp is perfect for couples and small groups seeking an intimate safari experience.
At Into Wild Africa, enjoy hearty meals that include early teas and coffees, picnic breakfasts, and plated dinners featuring both international and Swahili flavors. After a day of thrilling game drives, unwind with sundowners around the fire pit, sharing stories of the day’s adventures.
Your accommodation consists of large canvas tents equipped with king or twin beds, en-suite bathrooms, and private verandas, allowing you to connect with nature while enjoying modern comforts. The camp’s central location ensures excellent opportunities for spotting big cats throughout the year, making it an ideal choice for first-time safari-goers.
After your time in the Serengeti, you will head to KanKari Lodge in Karatu, a mid-range property that provides a peaceful garden retreat. This smaller lodge offers a more personal experience, perfect for those who appreciate quiet surroundings and homely service. While it may take a bit longer to reach the Ngorongoro gate, the trade-off is a charming atmosphere and friendly staff who ensure a warm welcome.
Meals at KanKari Lodge are served on a full-board basis, featuring fresh local vegetables and simple, home-cooked dishes. The modest en-suite rooms come with mosquito nets and private verandas, set in a tranquil garden with views of the Karatu highlands. After a day of exploration, relax by the swimming pool or enjoy a drink at the bar.
This 5-day safari is perfect for both repeat visitors and first-timers, offering a balanced mix of adventure and relaxation. With the chance to witness the incredible wildlife of the Serengeti and the stunning landscapes of Ngorongoro, this journey promises unforgettable memories.
