5-Day Upper Mid-Range Serengeti Safari with KumbuKumbu Tented Camp
Why this Package
This 5-Day safari tour flows through Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Central Serengeti, and Ngorongoro, offering a diverse experience without excessive travel. Enjoy the comforts of the KumbuKumbu Tented Camp in the heart of the Serengeti, where you can immerse yourself in nature while still having access to essential amenities. This camp is ideal for small groups and adventurous couples who seek an authentic tented experience with easy access to prime game loops.
At KumbuKumbu, meals are hearty and designed to fuel your adventures, featuring early teas and coffees, picnic breakfasts, and communal dinners that highlight local flavors. The Meru-style tents provide cozy accommodations with proper beds, en-suite bathrooms, and verandas that allow you to soak in the stunning surroundings. The camp's central mess tent and fire pit create a welcoming atmosphere for evening relaxation.
After your time in the Serengeti, you will head to Lake Manyara, known for its tree-climbing lions and vibrant birdlife, before moving on to the serene landscapes of Ngorongoro. Here, you can stay at Ngorongoro Marera Mountain View Lodge, which offers spacious cottage rooms with breathtaking valley views and a hillside pool for unwinding after a day of exploration. The lodge's home-style cooking and friendly service make it a perfect retreat.
With this itinerary, you will not only witness the incredible wildlife of Tanzania but also enjoy the unique landscapes that each park offers. The accessibility to both Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara from your lodge ensures that you can maximize your wildlife viewing opportunities. This journey is perfect for both first-time visitors and seasoned safari-goers looking to experience the best of Tanzania's natural beauty.
Mix of mid-range and upper 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. Their expertise depends on years of experience in specific price categories, the quality of their guides and vehicles, and the lodge partnerships they’ve built over time. None of this is visible on websites or forums, which is why NMT connects you directly with the operators best suited to your safari tier.
