Why this Package
Short but well-rounded, this 5-day safari tour delivers three different ecosystems: the Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire. Experience the thrill of wildlife encounters while enjoying the comforts of an upper mid-range tented lodge. Begin your adventure at Arukore Simba Camp in the Central Serengeti, where you can immerse yourself in the heart of predator activity and migration herds. This camp combines rustic charm with comfort, making it ideal for couples and small groups seeking an authentic yet affordable safari experience.
During your stay, indulge in hearty meals that include early tea or coffee, picnic breakfasts, and plated three-course dinners that blend local flavors with international cuisine. Your canvas tent will feature king or twin beds, en-suite bathrooms with hot showers, and a veranda where you can unwind and soak in the stunning surroundings.
Next, venture to Ngorongoro, where you’ll stay at Crater’s Edge. This luxury lodge offers breathtaking views from the rim of the crater, allowing for quick access to the floor for game drives. Here, you can enjoy gourmet meals with Swahili influences, served in a stunning setting that enhances your dining experience. The spacious suites provide panoramic views, king or twin beds, and large en-suite bathrooms, ensuring a luxurious stay.
Your final night will be spent at The Highlands by Asilia, located on the slopes of the Olmoti Volcano. Known for its unique dome-shaped tents, this lodge offers exceptional service and guided hikes to nearby Empakaai Crater, where you can witness flamingos and other wildlife. The meals here are crafted to provide a delightful culinary experience, complementing the adventure that awaits.
This itinerary not only allows you to explore the diverse ecosystems of Tanzania but also ensures that you have ample time to relax and absorb the beauty of each location. With a mix of comfort and adventure, this safari is perfect for both first-timers and seasoned travelers looking to deepen their connection with Africa's wildlife.
