Why this Package

For photographers, this 5-day safari tour delivers stunning backdrops across the Central Serengeti, West Serengeti, and the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater. Experience the thrill of wildlife encounters while enjoying the comforts of a luxury lodge that combines polished amenities with a natural setting.

Your adventure begins at Serengeti Lake Magadi Lodge, a luxury lodge nestled near the serene alkaline Lake Magadi, known for its diverse birdlife and majestic elephants. Here, you can indulge in buffet-style breakfasts and delightful picnic lunches, ensuring you're well-fueled for your daily game drives. The lodge features solid-structure rooms with en-suite bathrooms, private verandas, and a swimming pool, providing a perfect retreat after a day of exploration.

As you venture into the Central Serengeti, you'll enjoy reliable game drives, allowing you to witness the iconic wildlife of the region, including the famed big cats. The lodge's central location offers a quieter base compared to the busier hubs, enhancing your safari experience.

On your journey, you'll also spend a night at the Karatu Simba Lodge, a rustic eco-styled lodge that emphasizes a back-to-nature feel. Here, hearty meals featuring fresh vegetables from local farms await you, served in a communal dining hall. The lodge's cottages, with canvas fronts and stone bases, provide a unique atmosphere that complements the surrounding landscape.

With multiple nights in each park, this itinerary allows for deeper exploration and relaxation, making it ideal for both first-time safari-goers and those returning for more. You'll have ample opportunities to witness the incredible wildlife of Tanzania, from the Ngorongoro Crater to the vast plains of the Serengeti. Don't miss the chance to experience the Ngorongoro Crater and its rich biodiversity, or the renowned Serengeti with its great migration routes.
