Why this Package
Short on time but wide in scope, this 5-Day safari tour arc touches Tarangire, Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara without backtracking. Experience the thrill of wildlife encounters while staying at comfortable lodges that enhance your adventure. Begin your journey in Tarangire National Park, renowned for its majestic elephants and iconic baobabs.

This camp provides a rustic yet comfortable experience, allowing you to immerse yourself in the heart of predator-rich valleys. Meals here are simple and hearty, with communal dining that fosters a sense of camaraderie among guests.
Your safari continues to the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, where you'll stay at Embalakai Tented Camp. Nestled in acacia woodland, this camp offers quick access to the crater floor, ensuring you experience the vibrant wildlife at dawn. Enjoy full-board dining with early breakfasts to maximize your time in the crater, and unwind in cozy safari tents that blend comfort with a true bush atmosphere.
Finally, conclude your adventure at Lake Manyara, known for its tree-climbing lions and diverse birdlife. The stunning landscapes and wildlife will leave you with unforgettable memories. This tour is perfect for both first-timers and seasoned safari-goers looking to explore multiple iconic parks in a short span.
