5-Day Upper Mid-Range Tarangire Serengeti Tour with Malaika
Why this Package
Short but well-rounded, this 5-day safari tour delivers three different ecosystems—Tarangire, Central Serengeti, and Ngorongoro—without wasting time. Your adventure begins in the stunning Tarangire National Park, known for its impressive elephant herds and iconic baobab trees. You'll then explore the vast plains of the Serengeti, where the thrill of spotting big cats awaits, before concluding your journey at the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, famous for its diverse wildlife.
Your stay includes the comfortable Country Lodge Karatu, where you can enjoy hearty buffet meals featuring international and Tanzanian dishes. The lodge offers cozy cottage rooms with en-suite bathrooms and a relaxing pool, making it a perfect base for families and groups. With quick access to both the Ngorongoro Gate and Lake Manyara, you’ll find it easy to maximize your wildlife experiences.
In the Central Serengeti, you’ll spend a night at Malaika Seronera Luxury Camp, a stylish tented camp that provides polished yet approachable accommodation. Here, you can indulge in buffet breakfasts and plated three-course dinners while enjoying the comfort of large canvas tents equipped with en-suite bathrooms and verandas. Its prime location ensures you are close to key predator territories, enhancing your chances of witnessing thrilling wildlife encounters.
Your final night will be spent at the Ngorongoro Coffee Lodge, nestled among lush coffee estates. This upper mid-range lodge offers generous cottages, a swimming pool, and a small spa, ensuring a relaxing end to your safari. Enjoy early breakfasts and picnic lunches for full-day excursions, while the cozy lounge provides a perfect setting to unwind after a day of exploration.
With this itinerary, you’ll experience the best of Tanzania’s wildlife and landscapes, making it ideal for both first-time and repeat safari-goers.

Book with the Right Tour Operator
