6-Day Upper Mid-Range Tarangire Manyara Ngorongoro Safari with Olkambe Simba
Why this Package
A classic sampler for a 6-day safari tour: explore the stunning landscapes of Tarangire, witness the majestic wildlife of Ngorongoro, and enjoy the lush surroundings of Lake Manyara. This itinerary combines the comforts of mid-range and upper mid-range lodges, providing a perfect balance of adventure and relaxation.
Your journey begins at Olkambe Simba Lodge Tarangire, where spacious chalet-style rooms await you. Enjoy hearty buffet meals featuring both international and Swahili dishes, perfect for fueling your days of exploration. The lodge's central lounge and swimming pool offer a comfortable retreat after your game drives. With easy access to the Sangaiwe Gate, you can quickly embark on your safari adventures.
Next, you will head to Heart and Soul Lodge in Karatu, an eco-styled property that emphasizes sustainability and personal service. Here, you can savor meals made from locally sourced ingredients, with early breakfasts and picnic lunches prepared for your excursions. The cozy cottages are designed with natural materials, providing a tranquil atmosphere that enhances your safari experience.
Your final stop will be the charming Embalakai Tented Camp Ngorongoro, nestled in acacia woodlands near the crater's rim. This camp offers a unique tented experience, with en-suite bathrooms and private verandas that immerse you in the bush atmosphere. Communal dining around the campfire creates a warm, sociable environment, and the camp's proximity to the crater descent road allows for early access to the wildlife-rich floor of the Ngorongoro Crater.
With multiple nights in each location, you will have ample time to absorb the breathtaking scenery and observe the diverse wildlife, making this safari ideal for both first-timers and seasoned travelers. Experience the thrill of spotting the Big 5 and the unique tree-climbing lions of Lake Manyara while enjoying the comforts of well-appointed lodges.
