Why this Package
For families or first-timers, this 5-Day safari tour balances the stunning landscapes of Tarangire, Central Serengeti, North Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater without overextending drives. You'll experience the thrill of the Serengeti and the iconic wildlife it hosts, including the Great Migration during the right season.
Your adventure begins in Tarangire, famous for its majestic elephants and unique baobab trees. After a night in the park, you'll head to the Central Serengeti where the wildlife viewing is exceptional, especially for big cats. The journey continues to the North Serengeti, where you’ll stay at the Baobab Mara Tented Camp. This upper mid-range seasonal camp offers a comfortable yet authentic experience, allowing you to immerse yourself in the action of the Mara River crossings.
At Baobab Mara, enjoy hearty meals with picnic breakfasts at the river and plated dinners back at camp. The Meru-style safari tents feature real beds, en-suite bathrooms, and small verandas for relaxation after a day of exploration. The camp's location ensures you are close to the riverbanks, enhancing your chances of witnessing the dramatic river crossings during migration season.
After your time in the Serengeti, you will visit the Ngorongoro Crater, where you can enjoy a night at the Ngorongoro Marera Mountain View Lodge. This value-minded mid-range lodge offers spacious cottage rooms with stunning valley views, perfect for unwinding after a day of wildlife viewing. The lodge serves hearty, home-style meals, ensuring you are well-fueled for your adventures.
