Why this Package
If you’ve done the north, this 5-day safari tour shifts focus to the Central Serengeti, West Serengeti, and Ngorongoro without losing the steadiness of wildlife encounters.

The lodge’s cottage-style rooms provide a cozy retreat, complete with en-suite bathrooms and verandas, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration.
With easy access to the Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara, Bougainvillea serves as an ideal base for your safari adventures. The proximity to the Ngorongoro Gate and Lake Manyara NP makes it convenient for day trips, allowing you to maximize your wildlife viewing opportunities.
During your stay at Zuri Camp, enjoy hearty meals that include picnic breakfasts and communal dinners, fostering a sense of camaraderie among guests. The simple canvas tents provide a rustic yet comfortable experience, with en-suite bathrooms and shared facilities that enhance the authentic safari feel. The camp's mobile nature allows it to be strategically positioned for optimal wildlife viewing, especially during the migration season.
