Why this Package

If you’ve done the north, this 5-day safari tour shifts focus to the Central Serengeti, West Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater without losing Central’s steadiness. Experience the best of Tanzania's wildlife while enjoying the comforts of a mix of mid-range and luxury lodges.

Your journey begins at the Serengeti Lake Magadi Lodge, a luxury lodge nestled near the scenic alkaline Lake Magadi. This lodge is perfect for families or couples seeking comfort and polished amenities. With its tranquil lakeside views, you can unwind after exhilarating game drives. The lodge features solid-structure rooms equipped with king or twin beds, en-suite bathrooms, and private verandas, ensuring a restful stay.

Dining at Serengeti Lake Magadi Lodge includes buffet-style breakfasts, picnic lunches for your drives, and plated or buffet dinners that highlight both Swahili and international cuisine. The lodge also offers a pool, lounge, and a dining terrace with stunning views, making it a perfect spot to relax after a day of adventure.

From here, you’ll venture into the West Serengeti, renowned for its diverse wildlife and fewer crowds, enhancing your game viewing experience. The central location of your lodge ensures reliable game drives while providing a quieter base than the busier hubs of Seronera.

Your safari continues with a stay at Suricata Boma Lodge in Karatu, a modern boutique-style lodge that emphasizes community involvement and a youthful energy. With spacious cottages and bungalows featuring en-suite bathrooms and verandas, you’ll enjoy a comfortable retreat. The dining experience here is equally delightful, focusing on fresh, locally sourced produce with a mix of international and Tanzanian recipes. Early breakfasts and lunch boxes are prepared for your game drives, ensuring you’re fueled for the day ahead.

Access to the Ngorongoro Crater is convenient, with just a short drive to the gate, allowing you to descend into the crater during prime predator-viewing hours. This combination of lodges and locations provides a well-rounded experience, perfect for both first-time visitors and seasoned safari-goers.

Whether you're captivated by the breathtaking landscapes or the incredible wildlife, this safari promises to be a memorable adventure.
