Why this Package
Short but well-rounded, this 5-day safari tour delivers an exciting experience across Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and the Central Serengeti while enjoying the comforts of mid-range lodges. Begin your adventure in Tarangire National Park, famous for its large elephant herds and iconic baobabs, where you can witness these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. Following this, you will explore the stunning Ngorongoro Crater, known for its diverse wildlife including the Big Five, before heading to the heart of the Serengeti, renowned for its year-round wildlife action.
Your stay at Africa Safari Rift Valley near Karatu offers a functional and relaxed atmosphere, perfect for families or groups. The lodge features a mix of safari-style tents and bungalow rooms, all equipped with en-suite bathrooms. Meals are hearty and served buffet-style, ensuring you are well-fueled for your daily adventures. The lodge's proximity to the Ngorongoro gate allows for efficient early morning departures, maximizing your time for predator viewing.
In the Central Serengeti, you will enjoy the comfort of Serengeti Simba Lodge, which is designed for travelers seeking solid structures without the luxury price tag. The lodge's thoughtful design includes thatched stone cottages with private verandas, providing a cozy retreat after a day of game drives. Meals here are also buffet-style, featuring a mix of local and international dishes, perfect for communal dining experiences.
With bush flights connecting your journey from Zanzibar to the Serengeti, this itinerary is ideal for both first-time visitors and seasoned safari-goers looking to experience the best of Tanzania's wildlife. Whether you are watching the sunrise over the baobabs or witnessing the vibrant wildlife in the Ngorongoro Crater, this safari promises unforgettable memories.
