Why this Package
This 5-Day safari tour trio works in most seasons—herds in Tarangire and residents in Central Serengeti hold the line, while the stunning Ngorongoro Crater completes your adventure. Experience the beauty of Tanzania while enjoying the comforts of mid-range lodges that provide hearty meals and dependable comfort.
Your journey begins in Tarangire National Park, renowned for its massive elephant herds and iconic baobabs. After a day of exploring, you will stay at Africa Safari Serengeti Ikoma, a mid-range lodge-style camp located on the border of the Western Serengeti. Here, you can enjoy buffet breakfasts, picnic lunches for your drives, and hearty dinners with international and Swahili flavors. The lodge features thatched safari rooms with en-suite bathrooms, private verandas, and a swimming pool, ensuring a comfortable stay.
Next, you will venture into the Central Serengeti, famous for its great migration routes and big cats. The lodge offers unique activities like night drives and walking safaris, which are not permitted inside the national park. This adds an adventurous angle to your safari experience.
Your final night will be spent at Baghayo Garden Suites in Karatu, a perfect base before exploring the Ngorongoro Crater. With its garden-view suites and homely atmosphere, this lodge provides a relaxing environment after your safari days. Meals here are hearty and homestyle, often served buffet-style, ensuring you are well-fed for your adventures.
With quick access to the Ngorongoro gate, you can easily embark on your crater tour, where you may witness the Big 5 and stunning landscapes. This itinerary is ideal for both first-time visitors and those returning for another unforgettable experience in Tanzania.
Mid-Range Tanzania Safari
Book with the Right Tour Operator
Each safari company has its own strengths — some specialize in luxury safaris, some in mid-range, and some in budget trips.
