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.
