5-Day Mid-Range Tanzania Safari with Kati Kati Camp
Why this Package
Elephant corridors meet crater mornings and Central big-cat country in a neat 5-Day safari tour loop, exploring the stunning landscapes of Central Serengeti, the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, and the iconic baobabs of Tarangire. This adventure is perfect for both first-time visitors and seasoned safari-goers, offering a mix of comfort and accessibility.
Your journey begins in Arusha, where you’ll take a scenic flight to the Central Serengeti. Here, you’ll stay at the Kati Kati Tented Camp, a mid-range classic known for its simplicity and functionality. Enjoy hearty meals that include early teas, picnic breakfasts, and communal dinners featuring local dishes. The camp's Meru-style tents provide a cozy atmosphere with en-suite bathrooms and a focus on comfort.
After an exhilarating day of game drives, you can unwind by the campfire, sharing stories of the day’s wildlife encounters. The Central Serengeti is renowned for its rich wildlife, including the chance to see the great migration and big cats in action.
Next, you’ll head to the Ngorongoro Crater, where you’ll spend a night at Ikumbi Lodge. This affordable lodge offers a more polished experience compared to other budget options, with full-board dining and a welcoming atmosphere. Each room is designed for comfort, featuring private bathrooms and beautiful views of the gardens. The lodge is conveniently located about 25–30 minutes from the Ngorongoro gate, allowing for early access to the crater floor, where you can witness the stunning wildlife diversity, including Big 5 sightings.
Your final stop is Tarangire National Park, famous for its large elephant herds and iconic baobab trees. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to explore the park’s unique landscapes and diverse wildlife before concluding your safari adventure.
This 5-day itinerary not only allows you to experience the best of Tanzania’s wildlife but also provides a comfortable and memorable journey through its most celebrated parks.
