If you’ve done the north, this 5-day safari tour shifts focus to the stunning Central Serengeti, the captivating West Serengeti, and the iconic Ngorongoro Crater, all while enjoying the comforts of an upper mid-range tented camp. Begin your adventure at Jackals Lair Tented Camp in the heart of the Central Serengeti (Seronera), where you’ll be just minutes away from the best game viewing. This camp offers a blend of authentic canvas comfort and attentive hosting, allowing you to embark on long, flexible game drives at dawn.

At Jackals Lair, you can expect hearty meals that start with pre-dawn coffee and light bites, followed by hot breakfasts either in camp or as picnic breakfasts out on the plains. The evenings are filled with plated dinners featuring grilled mains and seasonal vegetables, with vegetarian options available upon request. The Meru-style tents are thoughtfully designed with proper beds, en-suite bathrooms, and a welcoming mess/lounge tent where you can unwind by the campfire after a day of exploration.

Your journey continues into the West Serengeti, where the landscape transforms and wildlife abounds. This area is known for its diverse ecosystems and is a prime location for spotting the Great Migration during certain seasons. Finally, you’ll visit the Ngorongoro Crater, where you can experience the thrill of being among the first vehicles at dawn, maximizing your chances of witnessing the Big Five in their natural habitat.

For your stay at Sanctuary Ngorongoro Crater Camp, expect refined, chef-led dining with early breakfasts and curated picnics, all set within spacious canvas tents that feature king beds and stylish en-suite bathrooms. The camp’s prime near-rim position allows for minimal commute to the crater floor, ensuring you make the most of your time in this UNESCO World Heritage site.

This safari is perfect for both first-time travelers and seasoned safari-goers looking to deepen their experience in Tanzania. With multiple nights in each location, you’ll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the breathtaking landscapes and abundant wildlife, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
