6-Day Mid-Range Tarangire and Serengeti Safari with Thorntree Camp
Why this Package
Tarangire and Central Serengeti offer an unforgettable experience over six days, perfect for those seeking both adventure and comfort. Begin your journey at Tanzanice Farm Lodge, a charming family-run property near Karatu, where you’ll enjoy hearty, home-cooked meals made from fresh ingredients sourced from the farm. The intimate atmosphere and rustic farmhouse style create a welcoming environment, ideal for travelers who appreciate personal hosting.
As you set off to explore Tarangire National Park, famous for its impressive elephant herds and iconic baobabs, you’ll find that the seasonal migrations set the tone for your safari experience. After a day of wildlife viewing, return to Tanzanice for communal dinners that foster a sense of camaraderie among guests.
Your adventure continues in the Central Serengeti, where you’ll stay at Thorntree Camp. This mid-range tented camp is strategically located in predator-rich Seronera, allowing for exceptional game viewing opportunities. Enjoy hearty buffet breakfasts, picnic lunches, and communal dinners that bring guests together after a day of exploration. The Meru tents provide comfortable accommodations with en-suite bathrooms, ensuring a restful night under the stars.
The accessibility of both lodges enhances your safari experience, with Tanzanice being a short drive from the Ngorongoro Crater and Thorntree Camp just a brief transfer from the Seronera Airstrip. This itinerary is particularly appealing for first-time safari-goers and those looking to immerse themselves in the stunning landscapes and diverse wildlife of Tanzania.
Discover the beauty of the Tarangire National Park, the majesty of the Serengeti, and the unique charm of local accommodations that make this safari a memorable journey.
Mix of budget and mid-range Tanzania Safari
Book with the Right Tour Operator
Each safari company has its own strengths — some specialize in luxury safaris, some in mid-range, and some in budget trips. 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. None of this is visible on websites or forums, which is why NMT connects you directly with the operators best suited to your safari tier.
