5-Day Mid-Range Tarangire Serengeti Tour with Kati Kati Camp
Why this Package
Spend your days among Tarangire’s elephant herds before heading to the predator-rich plains of Central Serengeti and onward to the wildebeest crossing points in the North Serengeti. This 5-day adventure offers a blend of budget and mid-range accommodations, ensuring comfort while exploring some of Tanzania's most iconic parks.
Your journey begins in Tarangire National Park, renowned for its large elephant populations and stunning baobab trees. Here, you will spend a night at Ikumbi Lodge, an affordable safari base in Karatu. The lodge features modern rooms with private bathrooms and a communal dining area offering hearty meals, including picnic lunches for your early safari departures. With its convenient location, you can easily access the Ngorongoro Crater the following day.
Next, you will venture into the heart of the Serengeti, where you will stay at the Kati Kati Tented Camp in Central Serengeti. This mid-range camp provides simple yet comfortable Meru-style tents, allowing you to wake up surrounded by the sounds of the wild. Enjoy communal meals that fuel your adventures, and take advantage of the camp's proximity to the rich wildlife of Seronera, ensuring you are out on game drives before the crowds.
Finally, you will head to the North Serengeti, where the Sero Tented Camp Kogatende awaits. Positioned close to the Mara River, this seasonal camp is perfectly situated for witnessing the spectacular wildebeest crossings during migration season. The camp offers basic yet functional amenities, with meals designed to energize you for long days of wildlife viewing.
With this itinerary, you will have ample opportunities to witness the breathtaking wildlife of Tanzania, from the majestic elephants of Tarangire to the thrilling predator action in the Serengeti. This safari is ideal for both first-time visitors and seasoned travelers looking to immerse themselves in the beauty of Tanzania's natural landscapes.
