5-Day Upper Mid-Range Serengeti Tour with Kitela Lodge
Why this Package
When calves drop in Ndutu, this 5-day safari tour through the Central Serengeti, Ndutu Serengeti, and Ngorongoro offers an incredible opportunity to witness the dramatic lion-cheetah interplay alongside the chance to see rhinos in the crater. Experience the thrill of a fly-in safari from Arusha, allowing you to maximize your time in these iconic locations.
Your journey begins at Osinon Camps and Lodges in the Central Serengeti, where you will enjoy straightforward amenities and a prime location for wildlife viewing. The camp features canvas tents equipped with proper beds, mosquito nets, and en-suite bathrooms, ensuring a comfortable stay. Meals are served in a communal setting, with hearty buffet breakfasts and picnic lunches for your game drives.
Next, head to Ang’ata Migration – Ndutu Camp, a mid-range seasonal camp that opens during the calving season. Positioned directly in predator territory, this camp provides a rustic yet strategic base for observing the dramatic wildlife action. Enjoy simple but filling meals, including early teas and communal dinners, while your canvas tent offers a cozy retreat at the end of the day.
Your final night will be spent at Kitela Lodge, a serene hideaway overlooking lush coffee fields. Here, you can indulge in plated dinners made from local produce and relax in cottage-style suites that feature fireplaces and private verandas. The lodge's proximity to the Ngorongoro Gate allows for early morning departures, maximizing your time in the crater.
This thoughtfully crafted itinerary is perfect for both first-time visitors and seasoned safari-goers, offering a blend of adventure and comfort. Witness the breathtaking landscapes and diverse wildlife of Tanzania while enjoying the comforts of mid-range to upper mid-range accommodations.
