5-Day Upper Mid-Range Serengeti Tour with Sound of Silence Camp
Why this Package
When May–Jun fits your calendar, this 5-day safari tour explores the stunning landscapes of Central Serengeti, West Serengeti, and the iconic Ngorongoro Crater. Experience the thrill of wildlife sightings while enjoying the comforts of the Sound of Silence Tented Camp, an upper mid-range property known for its peaceful setting away from busier hubs. This boutique tented experience offers quick access to productive loops where lions, leopards, and cheetahs are regularly sighted.
Your journey begins in Arusha, where you will take a bush flight to the Serengeti, allowing you to skip the long road transfer and dive straight into the adventure. At Sound of Silence, savor thoughtfully prepared meals that blend local flavors with international influences, including hearty picnic breakfasts and communal dinners around the campfire.
The modern safari tents provide a cozy retreat, featuring proper beds, en-suite bathrooms, and solar-powered lighting. Relax on your veranda with views of the surrounding wilderness, or unwind in the central mess and lounge area after a day of exploration. With its quiet location, you'll enjoy fewer vehicles around, enhancing your wildlife viewing experience.
After your time in the Serengeti, head to the Ngorongoro Crater for a day of exploration. Staying at Tanzanice Farm Lodge, a charming family-run property, you can expect a homely atmosphere with personal hosting. Meals here are a highlight, featuring ingredients sourced directly from the farm, ensuring a taste of authentic local cuisine.
With a short drive to the Ngorongoro gate, you can easily descend into the crater for a chance to witness the Big 5 in their natural habitat. This combination of parks and accommodations makes for a well-rounded safari experience, perfect for both first-timers and seasoned travelers.
Mix of budget and upper 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.
