5-Day Mid-Range Serengeti Tour with Martina's Retreat
Why this Package
Go broad in a 5-day safari tour: explore the diverse landscapes of Tarangire, Lake Manyara, the heart of the Central Serengeti, and the stunning Ngorongoro Crater. This journey offers a perfect blend of wildlife experiences while enjoying the comforts of mid-range lodges.
Your adventure begins in Tarangire National Park, renowned for its massive elephant herds and iconic baobab trees. After a day of game viewing, you’ll unwind at Martina's Retreat in Karatu, a cozy lodge that provides hearty meals featuring local Tanzanian staples. The simple yet comfortable rooms come with en-suite bathrooms, ensuring a restful night.
Next, you’ll visit Lake Manyara, famous for its tree-climbing lions and vibrant birdlife. Enjoy picnic lunches prepared for your safari days, allowing you to maximize your time in the parks. Afterward, head to the Central Serengeti, where the Serengeti Classic View Camp awaits. This tented camp keeps you close to the wildlife action, offering basic yet comfortable accommodations with communal dining.
Finally, you’ll explore the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where you can witness the Big Five in their natural habitat. The access from your lodge to the crater is convenient, allowing for early morning descents into the caldera for prime wildlife viewing. This 5-day safari is perfect for both first-time visitors and seasoned travelers looking to experience the best of Tanzania’s wildlife.
