6-Day Mid-Range Serengeti Tour with Karatu Simba Lodge
Why this Package
Experience the wonders of Ndutu Serengeti, Central Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater on this immersive 6-day safari. This journey combines the reliable wildlife of the Central Serengeti, the dramatic calving season in Ndutu, and the breathtaking concentration of animals in the Ngorongoro Crater, all while enjoying the comforts of mid-range accommodations.
Your adventure begins at Karatu Simba Lodge, a rustic eco-styled lodge nestled among rolling hills. Here, you will enjoy hearty meals featuring a mix of international and Tanzanian dishes, served in a communal dining hall. The lodge offers a selection of about 20 cottages, blending canvas fronts with stone bases, providing en-suite bathrooms and stunning views from your private veranda.
As you venture into the heart of the Serengeti, you will stay at Osinon Camps and Lodges, strategically located in the Central Serengeti. This camp is designed for budget-conscious travelers seeking a functional base close to the action. Enjoy simple yet filling meals, including picnic lunches for your game drives, and relax in comfortable canvas tents equipped with proper beds and en-suite bathrooms.
Finally, you will experience the thrill of being close to the action at Sero Tented Camp Ndutu, a mobile camp perfect for witnessing the wildebeest calving season. With off-road permits, you can follow the predators closely, enhancing your safari experience. Meals here are basic but hearty, ensuring you are well-fueled for your daily adventures.
With multiple nights in each area, this safari allows for deeper exploration and a more relaxed pace, making it ideal for both first-time and repeat safari-goers. Whether you are captivated by the sight of a lioness with her cubs or the vastness of the Serengeti plains, this tour promises unforgettable memories.
