5-Day Mid-Range Serengeti Safari with Embalakai Tented Camp
Why this Package
A wider Serengeti story: embark on a 5-day safari adventure through Tarangire, Central Serengeti, West Serengeti, and Ngorongoro, enjoying the comforts of mid-range lodges. This journey is perfect for both first-time visitors and seasoned safari-goers, offering a blend of wildlife experiences and authentic accommodations.
Your adventure begins in Tarangire National Park, renowned for its massive elephant herds and iconic baobab trees. Here, you will stay at the Embalakai Tented Camp, a mid-range camp nestled close to the Seronera Valley. This camp provides a rustic bush atmosphere, ideal for those seeking an authentic safari experience. Meals are hearty and simple, featuring picnic breakfasts and communal dinners that foster a sense of camaraderie among guests.
As you explore the Central Serengeti, the camp's prime location allows for optimal game drives, especially at dawn and dusk, when predator sightings are most likely. The Meru-style tents offer comfortable beds, en-suite bathrooms, and private verandas, ensuring a cozy retreat after exhilarating days in the wild.
Next, you will venture to the West Serengeti, where the landscape transforms and the wildlife experience deepens. The camp's accessibility to diverse habitats enhances your chances of witnessing the Great Migration and its dramatic river crossings.
Finally, your journey concludes at the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its stunning scenery and rich wildlife. Staying at KanKari Lodge on the outskirts of Karatu, you will enjoy a peaceful garden setting and personalized service. The lodge offers a homely atmosphere with simple yet delicious meals, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration.
With its proximity to the Ngorongoro gate, KanKari Lodge allows for early morning descents into the crater, maximizing your chances of spotting the Big Five. This mid-range safari package combines adventure, comfort, and the opportunity to connect with nature in a truly memorable way.
