Why this Package
A northern classic condensed into a 6-Day safari tour: explore the wonders of Tarangire, the breathtaking Central Serengeti, and the iconic Ngorongoro Crater while enjoying the comforts of mid-range accommodations. This journey offers a unique blend of adventure and comfort, perfect for both first-time visitors and seasoned safari-goers.
Your adventure begins in Tarangire National Park, renowned for its massive elephant herds and striking baobab trees. Here, you will experience the thrill of game drives amidst a landscape teeming with wildlife. After a day of exploration, retreat to Hippo Trails Camp in the heart of the Central Serengeti, where you can enjoy hearty meals, including picnic breakfasts and communal dinners, all while surrounded by the sounds of nature.
At Hippo Trails Camp, the Meru-style tents provide a cozy atmosphere with en-suite bathrooms, ensuring a comfortable stay. The camp's prime location near the Seronera River Valley allows for exceptional wildlife viewing, particularly of big cats and hippos. The early morning and evening game drives here are particularly rewarding, as they offer the best chances to witness predators in action.
Next, you will head to the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where you can descend into the volcanic bowl for a chance to see the Big Five in their natural habitat. Staying at Suricata Boma Lodge, a modern boutique-style lodge in Karatu, you will enjoy fresh, locally sourced meals and spacious cottages with en-suite bathrooms. The lodge's youthful energy and community involvement make it a delightful place to unwind after a day of safari.
Finally, your journey concludes with a return to Arusha, where you can reflect on the incredible experiences of your safari. With a mix of stunning landscapes, diverse wildlife, and comfortable accommodations, this 6-day adventure promises to be a memorable exploration of Tanzania's natural beauty.
