5-Day Upper Mid-Range Tanzania Safari with Kon Tiki Serengeti
Why this Package
Elephant corridors meet crater mornings and Central Serengeti's big-cat country in a neat 5-day safari tour loop. Experience the breathtaking landscapes of Tarangire, the iconic Ngorongoro Crater, and the wildlife-rich plains of the Central Serengeti while enjoying the comforts of mid-range and upper mid-range lodges.
Your adventure begins at Marera Valley Lodge in Karatu, where you can unwind in cozy cottages surrounded by lush gardens. The lodge offers hearty meals, including early breakfasts for your crater excursions, and a relaxing atmosphere with a swimming pool and fireplaces in many rooms. From here, you’ll have convenient access to the Ngorongoro Crater, just a short drive away, allowing for early morning game drives.
Next, immerse yourself in the stunning wildlife of the Ngorongoro Crater while staying at Embalakai Tented Camp. Nestled in acacia woodlands, this camp provides a rustic yet intimate experience with en-suite tents that feature private verandas overlooking the forest. Enjoy communal dinners under the stars and early breakfasts to maximize your time in the crater, where you can witness the thrilling activity of lions and hyenas at dawn.
Your journey culminates at Kon Tiki Serengeti Camp, strategically located in the heart of the Central Serengeti. This upper mid-range camp offers spacious canvas tents with en-suite bathrooms and verandas that provide sweeping views of the surrounding plains. Here, you can savor delicious meals, including picnic breakfasts and plated dinners, while enjoying personalized service and the thrill of being close to the action of the Serengeti’s renowned wildlife loops.
This 5-day safari is perfect for both first-timers and seasoned travelers looking to explore the diverse ecosystems of Tanzania. With multiple nights in each location, you’ll have ample time to soak in the beauty of the landscapes and the vibrancy of the wildlife, creating unforgettable memories.
