Why this Package
Baobab silhouettes to crater lakes to kopje ridgelines—5-Day safari tour through Tarangire, Central Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. This adventure offers a blend of wildlife encounters and comfort, perfect for those seeking a memorable experience without the luxury price tag. Begin your journey in Tarangire National Park, renowned for its majestic elephants and iconic baobab trees. Here, you’ll spend a night at the Baobab Central Serengeti Tented Camp, where you can enjoy hearty meals, including picnic breakfasts and communal dinners, all while being close to the park's predator hotspots.
Your next stop is the Central Serengeti, where the camp's canvas tents provide a cozy retreat after exhilarating game drives. Each tent features comfortable king or twin beds, en-suite bathrooms, and a veranda to relax and soak in the stunning surroundings. The camp is strategically located to maximize wildlife sightings, including lions, leopards, and cheetahs.
After exploring the Serengeti, you’ll head to the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Staying at the Heart and Soul Lodge in Karatu, you’ll experience eco-friendly accommodations that prioritize sustainability and personal service. Enjoy locally sourced meals and the intimate atmosphere of this mid-range lodge, which is just a short drive from the crater gate, allowing for early access to the floor and the chance to witness the Big Five in action.
With a mix of adventure and comfort, this safari is ideal for both first-time visitors and seasoned travelers looking to deepen their connection with Tanzania’s breathtaking landscapes and wildlife. Experience the thrill of a Ngorongoro Crater tour and create unforgettable memories on this five-day journey.
