5-Day Mid-Range Tarangire Ngorongoro Serengeti Safari with Thorntree Camp
Why this Package
For travelers who want variety without the full circuit, this 5-day safari tour covers Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and the Central Serengeti while enjoying the comforts of a mid-range tented camp. Begin your adventure in Tarangire National Park, famous for its majestic elephants and iconic baobabs, where you can witness the vast landscapes and unique wildlife. Next, descend into the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, renowned for its diverse ecosystems and the chance to see the Big 5 in one location.
Your stay at Thorntree Camp in the Central Serengeti offers a comfortable and authentic tented experience. Meals are hearty and served buffet-style, ensuring you are well-fueled for your daily adventures. The Meru tents come equipped with en-suite bathrooms, providing a cozy retreat after a day of game drives. The camp's location in predator-rich Seronera maximizes your chances of spotting wildlife, making it ideal for first-time visitors.
After your time in the Serengeti, you will return to Zanzibar, concluding your journey with memories of breathtaking landscapes and unforgettable wildlife encounters. With the combination of a peaceful garden retreat at KanKari Lodge in Karatu and the thrilling atmosphere of Thorntree Camp, this safari is perfect for those seeking a blend of comfort and adventure.
