5-Day Upper Mid-Range Serengeti Safari with Sound of Silence
Why this Package
If you want breadth and payoff in a 5-Day safari tour, this trio delivers: Central Serengeti, Ndutu, and Ngorongoro. Experience the thrill of wildlife in their natural habitat while enjoying the comforts of mid-range and upper mid-range lodges. Start your adventure at Karatu Simba Lodge, a rustic eco-styled lodge that offers a mix of international and Tanzanian dishes served in a communal dining hall. With spacious cottages featuring en-suite bathrooms and views over rolling hills, it provides a serene atmosphere just a short drive from the Ngorongoro Crater.
Your journey continues to Sero Tented Camp Ndutu, ideally located for witnessing the dramatic wildebeest calving season. This mid-range mobile camp offers hearty meals and comfortable Meru-style tents, allowing you to immerse yourself in the action of predator hunts and newborns in the wild. With off-road permits, you’ll have the chance to follow lions and cheetahs closely across the plains.
Finally, unwind at Sound of Silence Tented Camp in the Central Serengeti, where modern comforts meet a boutique tented experience. Enjoy pre-dawn snacks and plated dinners with a mix of Swahili and international flavors. The camp’s peaceful setting allows for intimate wildlife encounters, making it a perfect spot for couples and wildlife enthusiasts alike. With quick access to productive loops for big cat sightings, your safari experience will be unforgettable.
Traveling through these iconic parks not only enhances your chances of spotting the Big Five but also provides a deeper understanding of Tanzania's diverse ecosystems. This 5-day itinerary is perfect for both first-time visitors and seasoned safari-goers looking to explore the wonders of Tanzania.

Book with the Right Tour Operator
Each safari company has its own strengths — some specialize in luxury safaris, some in mid-range, and some in budget trips. Their expertise depends on years of experience in specific price categories, the quality of their guides and vehicles, and the lodge partnerships they’ve built over time. None of this is visible on websites or forums, which is why NMT connects you directly with the operators best suited to your safari tier.
