Why this Package
For photographers, this 5-Day safari tour delivers stunning backdrops across the Central Serengeti, West Serengeti, and Ngorongoro while enjoying the comforts of an upper mid-range tented camp. At Jackals Lair Tented Camp, located in the heart of the Central Serengeti, you’ll find yourself just minutes from prime game viewing. The camp offers a blend of authentic canvas comfort and attentive service, allowing you to embark on long, flexible game drives at dawn.
During your stay, savor hearty meals that include pre-dawn coffee, picnic lunches on the plains, and plated dinners featuring seasonal ingredients. The Meru-style tents provide proper beds, en-suite bathrooms with hot showers, and a cozy mess tent for evening gatherings around the campfire.
As you explore the vast landscapes, the Central Serengeti’s resident lions, leopards, and elephants will captivate your senses. The area’s water sources attract wildlife year-round, making it an ideal spot for both first-time and repeat safari-goers. Following your time in the Serengeti, you’ll transition to the Sanctuary Ngorongoro Crater Camp, where elegant tented hospitality awaits. Positioned near the crater rim, this camp allows for quick access to the crater floor, ensuring you’re among the first to witness the incredible wildlife.
At Sanctuary Ngorongoro, enjoy refined dining with chef-led menus and spacious canvas tents that feature king beds and en-suite bathrooms. This combination of luxury and proximity to the Ngorongoro Crater enhances your safari experience, allowing for leisurely afternoons and exciting evening game drives.
With this itinerary, you’ll not only explore the breathtaking landscapes of the Serengeti but also have the chance to witness the unique wildlife of the Ngorongoro Crater.
