5-Day Mid-Range Tanzania Safari with Thorntree Camp
Why this Package
Short but well-rounded, this 5-day safari tour delivers three different ecosystems: Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire. Experience the thrill of game drives in the heart of the Serengeti, known for its incredible wildlife, including the iconic big cats and the Great Migration. Your journey begins in Arusha, where you will take a scenic flight to the Serengeti, maximizing your time in the parks.
Your stay at Thorntree Camp in the Central Serengeti offers a comfortable and authentic tented experience. Here, hearty meals are served, including buffet breakfasts and communal dinners that foster a friendly atmosphere. The Meru tents are equipped with en-suite bathrooms and provide a cozy retreat after a day of adventure.
Following your time in the Serengeti, you'll spend a night at KanKari Lodge in Karatu, conveniently located for exploring the Ngorongoro Crater. This mid-range lodge offers a peaceful garden setting, with en-suite rooms that feature mosquito nets and private verandas. Enjoy the warmth of home-cooked meals, with a focus on local ingredients, and unwind by the swimming pool after your game drives.
Finally, your safari concludes with a visit to Tarangire National Park, famous for its large elephant herds and stunning baobab trees. This well-rounded itinerary not only allows for diverse wildlife experiences but also provides ample opportunities for relaxation and reflection in nature.
Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveler returning to Tanzania, this safari package is designed to deliver unforgettable memories in some of the country's most breathtaking landscapes.
Mid-Range Tanzania Safari
Book with the Right Tour Operator
