5-Day Upper Mid-Range Serengeti Tour with Kitela Lodge
Why this Package
A northern classic condensed into a 5-Day safari tour: explore the stunning landscapes of Central Serengeti, the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, and the iconic wildlife of Tarangire. This journey offers a blend of mid-range and luxury accommodations, ensuring a comfortable yet immersive experience.
Your adventure begins at Kitela Lodge, a serene plantation hideaway surrounded by lush gardens and coffee fields. Enjoy plated, unhurried dinners featuring fresh produce from local farms, and relax in cottage-style suites that boast king beds and verandas overlooking beautiful lawns. The lodge is conveniently located just 25–30 minutes from the Ngorongoro Gate, allowing for early morning departures to maximize your time in the crater.
Next, you will stay at Lemala Ngorongoro Tented Camp, which offers an intimate experience with canvas tents on timber decks. This camp is prized for its proximity to the crater rim, enabling you to reach the floor within 10–20 minutes after the gate opens. Enjoy chef-led camp cuisine with early breakfasts and delightful picnic hampers for long days of exploration.
Your final night will be spent at Zuri Camp Serengeti, a mobile-style camp designed for those who seek authenticity and adventure. With simple yet hearty meals and rustic canvas tents, Zuri provides an immersive experience in the heart of the Serengeti. The camp's seasonal positioning allows for exceptional access to the migration, making it a perfect choice for wildlife enthusiasts.
This 5-day safari is ideal for both first-timers and seasoned travelers looking to delve deeper into Tanzania's rich wildlife and stunning landscapes. Experience the thrill of spotting the Big Five in the Ngorongoro Crater and witness the majestic herds in the Serengeti.
