In just 5 days, traverse three of Tanzania’s great parks — Tarangire, the predator-rich Central Serengeti, and lush Lake Manyara. This safari offers a unique blend of comfort and adventure, staying at well-appointed lodges that enhance your experience. Begin your journey at Heart and Soul Lodge in Karatu, a mid-range eco-styled property that emphasizes sustainability and personal service. Enjoy hearty meals made from locally sourced ingredients, with early breakfasts and packed lunches for your safaris.

Your first day will take you to Tarangire National Park, famous for its majestic elephants and iconic baobabs. After a day of exploration, retreat to the intimate atmosphere of Heart and Soul Lodge, where you can relax by the swimming pool or in the lush garden setting.

Next, head to the Central Serengeti and stay at Malaika Seronera Luxury Camp. This upper mid-range tented camp is ideally located for year-round predator sightings, ensuring you maximize your game drive time. Here, you’ll enjoy buffet breakfasts, picnic lunches, and plated three-course dinners that blend international and Swahili cuisines. The spacious canvas tents offer comfort with en-suite bathrooms and verandas, perfect for unwinding after a day of wildlife viewing.

Your final stop will be Lake Manyara, where you can witness tree-climbing lions and diverse birdlife. The Ngorongoro Marera Mountain View Lodge provides a scenic and calm base, with hearty home-style cooking and spacious cottage rooms featuring fireplaces and verandas. Its location allows for easy access to both Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara, making it practical for alternating park visits.

This 5-day safari is perfect for both first-time visitors and seasoned travelers looking to explore Tanzania’s rich wildlife and landscapes. Experience the thrill of game drives while enjoying the comforts of mid-range and upper mid-range lodges that cater to your needs.
