5-Day Upper Mid-Range Tanzania Safari with Kon Tiki Serengeti
Why this Package
Smart sequencing makes this 5-Day safari tour feel longer: experience the vast herds of Tarangire, the wildlife density of Ngorongoro, the lush forest drives of Lake Manyara, and the reliable sightings in the Central Serengeti. This journey offers a well-rounded experience of Tanzania's iconic landscapes and wildlife.
Your adventure begins at Embalakai Tented Camp Ngorongoro, where you’ll enjoy a cozy, rustic atmosphere just minutes from the crater descent road. With full-board meals served in the mess tent, including early breakfasts to maximize your time in the crater, you’ll savor hearty dishes that reflect the local flavors. Each safari tent is equipped with en-suite bathrooms and a private veranda, allowing you to immerse yourself in the bush surroundings.
Next, you’ll stay at Farmhouse Valley Adventure, a mid-range lodge on the outskirts of Karatu. Here, you can relax in spacious chalet-style rooms with en-suite bathrooms and gardens that provide a tranquil setting. The lodge offers full-board dining with locally sourced produce, ensuring a delightful culinary experience. Although it takes a bit longer to reach the Ngorongoro gate, the comfort and charm of this lodge make it a worthwhile choice.
Your journey continues at Kon Tiki Serengeti Camp, where you’ll find upper mid-range comfort amidst the stunning plains of the Central Serengeti. With spacious canvas tents featuring en-suite bathrooms and verandas, you’ll enjoy both comfort and proximity to the wildlife action. Meals here include picnic breakfasts and plated dinners, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration.
Finally, you’ll conclude your safari at Ngorongoro Marera Mountain View Lodge, which offers a scenic retreat with breathtaking valley views. The lodge’s hearty, home-style cooking and spacious cottage rooms with fireplaces create a welcoming atmosphere for relaxation after your adventures.
This carefully curated itinerary not only allows you to explore diverse ecosystems but also provides ample opportunities for wildlife encounters, making it ideal for both first-time and repeat safari-goers.
