6-Day Upper Mid-Range Tanzania Safari with Malaika Ndutu
Why this Package
Elephants at the start, caldera midday, predators by afternoon—6-Day safari tour arranged to keep momentum high. Experience the stunning landscapes of Tarangire, the iconic Ngorongoro Crater, and the vast Serengeti, including Ndutu during the calving season. This journey is designed for both first-time and repeat safari-goers, offering a mix of adventure and comfort in upper mid-range lodges.
Your adventure begins in the Tarangire National Park, renowned for its large elephant herds and striking baobab trees. After a day of wildlife viewing, you will stay at the Malaika Ndutu Luxury Camp, a seasonal camp nestled in the Ndutu plains. Here, enjoy delicious meals that blend international flavors with local Swahili cuisine, served in a communal dining tent or around the campfire.
Each spacious canvas tent at Malaika features en-suite bathrooms with hot showers and a private veranda, allowing you to soak in the sights and sounds of the African wilderness. The camp's location offers unique off-road driving privileges, enabling you to closely track predators in their natural habitat, a rare experience in most of the Serengeti.
Next, you will explore the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, where you can witness the Big 5 in one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on the planet. After a day of exploration, unwind at the Ngorongoro Farm House, a charming lodge styled around a colonial coffee plantation. Enjoy hearty, home-style meals made from fresh produce sourced from the lodge's own farm, and relax in spacious chalet-style rooms that overlook lush gardens and coffee fields.
Finally, your safari culminates in the Central Serengeti, where you will stay at the Tamba Tented Camp. This upper mid-range camp is ideally located for chasing the great migration and observing the resident big cats. With well-furnished tents and a cozy atmosphere, Tamba offers a perfect blend of comfort and adventure.
With multiple nights in each park, you will have ample time to immerse yourself in the wildlife and landscapes, creating unforgettable memories during your Tanzania safari.
