Why this Package

For a nuanced Serengeti experience, embark on a 5-day safari that takes you through Tarangire, the Central Serengeti, West Serengeti, and the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater. This journey combines the reliable wildlife viewing of Central with the seasonal dynamics of West, ensuring a rich tapestry of experiences.

Your adventure begins at Tarangire Simba Lodge, an upper mid-range option nestled by Lake Burunge. Here, you can enjoy hearty buffet breakfasts and packed picnic lunches that keep you fueled for the day’s explorations. The lodge features spacious chalet-style rooms with en-suite bathrooms, mosquito nets, and a central pool, perfect for unwinding after a day of game drives. Access to the park is convenient, with the Sangaiwe Gate just a short drive away.

Next, you’ll venture into the heart of the Central Serengeti, where you’ll stay at Jackals Lair Tented Camp. This camp offers authentic canvas comfort, allowing you to be on the tracks just minutes after sunrise. Enjoy delicious meals, including picnic breakfasts and hearty dinners, while taking in the stunning views from your Meru-style tent, complete with en-suite bathrooms and solar-assisted hot showers. The camp’s prime location near the central river lines ensures excellent game viewing opportunities, particularly for lions and leopards.

Your safari continues to the West Serengeti, where the landscape transforms, offering a different perspective on the wildlife migration. Finally, you’ll conclude your journey at Ngorongoro Melia, where panoramic views of the caldera await. This luxury lodge harmonizes with its surroundings, featuring spacious rooms adorned with Maasai artwork and modern amenities. Indulge in unique experiences and relax in the spa after a day of exploration.

With a blend of upper mid-range comfort and premium luxury, this safari is ideal for both first-time visitors and seasoned travelers looking to deepen their connection with Tanzania’s incredible landscapes and wildlife.
