6-Day Upper Mid-Range Serengeti Safari with Jackals Lair
Why this Package
A northern classic condensed into a 6-Day safari tour: explore the stunning landscapes of Tarangire, the iconic Central Serengeti, and the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater. This journey combines the comforts of mid-range and upper mid-range lodges, ensuring a memorable experience as you witness the incredible wildlife of Tanzania.
Your adventure begins with a night at Embalakai Tented Camp Ngorongoro, nestled in acacia woodlands near the crater's rim. Enjoy hearty meals served in the mess tent, with early breakfasts arranged to maximize your time in the crater. The cozy safari tents offer a rustic yet comfortable atmosphere, complete with en-suite bathrooms and private verandas overlooking the forest.
Next, venture into the heart of the Serengeti at Jackals Lair Tented Camp, where you’ll be just minutes from prime game-viewing areas. This upper mid-range camp emphasizes authentic canvas comfort and attentive service, allowing you to embark on long, flexible game drives. Meals include pre-dawn coffee and hearty dinners, ensuring you’re fueled for a day of exploration.
Finally, unwind at Ngorongoro Marera Mountain View Lodge, a value-minded mid-range base with stunning valley views. Here, you can enjoy home-style cooking and spacious cottage rooms that provide a peaceful retreat after your daily adventures. The lodge's location is ideal for alternating between Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara, making it a practical choice for your safari.
This 6-day itinerary is perfect for both first-time visitors and seasoned safari-goers, providing ample opportunities to witness the Great Wildebeest Migration and spot the Big Five in their natural habitats. Experience the thrill of watching lions hunt at dawn or the majestic elephants of Tarangire as they roam beneath the iconic baobabs. With each park offering unique landscapes and wildlife, this safari promises unforgettable memories.
