5-Day Upper Mid-Range Serengeti Tour with Tukaone Hembe Camp
Why this Package
Short but well-rounded, this 5-day safari tour delivers three different ecosystems — the stunning landscapes of Tarangire, the iconic Ngorongoro Crater, and the vast plains of the Central Serengeti. Experience the thrill of wildlife encounters while enjoying the comforts of mid-range and upper mid-range lodges.
Your adventure begins at the Ngorongoro Marera Mountain View Lodge, set on a breezy slope above Karatu. This lodge offers a calm and scenic atmosphere, perfect for couples and small groups seeking a homely experience. Enjoy hearty, home-style meals that cater to your safari schedule, with early breakfasts and picnic hampers for your day trips. The spacious cottage rooms feature fireplaces and verandas, allowing you to soak in the beautiful valley views.
Next, you’ll head to the Embalakai Tented Camp, nestled in acacia woodlands near the Ngorongoro Crater. This camp provides a true tented bush experience with unbeatable access to the crater. With early breakfasts arranged to maximize your time in the crater, you can witness the vibrant wildlife, including lions and hyenas, in their natural habitat. The cozy tents come with en-suite bathrooms and private verandas, ensuring a comfortable stay.
Finally, immerse yourself in the heart of the action at the Tukaone Hembe Serengeti Camp. Located near Seronera, this mid-range tented camp is ideal for those seeking reliable predator sightings. Meals are hearty and simple, with communal dinners that foster a sense of camaraderie among guests. The rustic Meru-style tents provide essential comfort, and the camp's shared mess tent and fire pit create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
This safari is perfect for both first-timers and seasoned travelers looking to explore diverse ecosystems while enjoying dependable comfort. Experience the breathtaking landscapes and rich wildlife of Tanzania, from the elephants of Tarangire to the Big 5 in the Ngorongoro Crater and the expansive plains of the Serengeti. Don't miss the chance to witness the Great Migration and the stunning wildlife that Tanzania has to offer.
