6-Day Upper Mid-Range Serengeti Safari with Hippo Trails Camp
Why this Package
A compact 6-Day safari tour that trades distance for depth, splitting time between Central Serengeti and Ndutu Serengeti. This journey is perfect for both first-time visitors and seasoned safari-goers, allowing you to immerse yourself in the rich wildlife experience of these iconic parks.
Your adventure begins at Hippo Trails Camp in the Central Serengeti, where you’ll enjoy hearty meals that include early teas, picnic breakfasts, and communal dinners. The Meru-style tents offer comfortable beds, mosquito nets, and en-suite bathrooms, ensuring a cozy stay amidst nature. The camp's prime location near the Seronera River Valley provides excellent access to big cats and hippos, making your game drives particularly rewarding.
Next, you’ll head to Nyikani Migration Camp Ndutu, a seasonal camp set up to track the wildebeest calving from December to March. Here, you can enjoy straightforward meals and rustic yet practical canvas tents. The camp's strategic positioning allows for off-road driving, giving you the unique opportunity to follow predators during hunts, enhancing your wildlife experience.
With bush flights from Zanzibar, your travel is seamless, allowing you to focus on the breathtaking landscapes and incredible wildlife. Witness the stunning sunrises over the plains and listen to the sounds of the African wilderness as you embark on thrilling game drives. This safari is not just a trip; it's an unforgettable journey into the heart of Tanzania's natural beauty.

Book with the Right Tour Operator

Their expertise depends on years of experience in specific price categories, the quality of their guides and vehicles, and the lodge partnerships they’ve built over time.
