5-Day Mid-Range Serengeti Tour with Osero Tented Camp
Why this Package
A west-leaning 5-Day safari tour balances reliable sightings in the Central Serengeti, seasonal variety in the West Serengeti, and the breathtaking landscapes of Ngorongoro. This adventure is perfect for both first-time safari-goers and those returning for more, offering a blend of wildlife experiences and comfortable accommodations.
Your journey begins at Marera Valley Lodge in Karatu, a cozy base that provides a relaxed countryside atmosphere. Here, you can enjoy hearty meals, including early breakfasts for crater departures and packed lunches for your game drives. The lodge features 14 cottages with en-suite bathrooms, private verandas, and fireplaces, ensuring a comfortable stay. Its proximity to the Ngorongoro Crater allows for a quick morning descent, maximizing your chances of witnessing predator activity before the day heats up.
Next, you’ll venture into the heart of the Central Serengeti and stay at Osero Serengeti Tented Camp. This mid-range camp is designed for those who prioritize wildlife proximity over luxury. With its Meru-style canvas tents, you’ll have en-suite bathrooms and solar lighting, providing a rustic yet comfortable experience. Meals are simple but hearty, with communal dining that fosters a social atmosphere among guests. The camp’s central location ensures year-round access to predators and resident herds, making it an ideal choice for wildlife enthusiasts.
As you explore these iconic parks, you’ll have the opportunity to witness the stunning landscapes and diverse wildlife that make Tanzania a premier safari destination. From the vast plains of the Serengeti, known for its great migration routes and big cats, to the unique ecosystem of the Ngorongoro Crater, this tour offers a rich tapestry of experiences that will create lasting memories.
For those looking to combine adventure with comfort, this safari package provides the perfect balance, ensuring you experience the best of Tanzania’s wildlife while enjoying dependable accommodations.

Book with the Right Tour Operator
