7-Day Mid-Range Tanzania Safari with Friends Serengeti
Why this Package
For first‑timers, a 7-day safari tour across Tarangire, Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara provides a complete northern sampler in one swing. Begin your adventure in Tarangire National Park, where you can marvel at the iconic baobabs and the impressive elephant herds. After a day of exploration, retreat to Africa Safari Rift Valley, a mid-range lodge just outside Karatu. Here, you’ll enjoy hearty meals served buffet-style, with early breakfasts and lunch boxes prepared for your exciting crater or Manyara safaris.
As you journey onward to the Central Serengeti, stay at Friends Serengeti Tented Camp, which offers a cozy atmosphere amidst the wildlife-rich landscape. The camp provides simple yet comfortable Meru-style tents, allowing you to immerse yourself in the sounds of the savannah. Meals here are hearty and communal, perfect for sharing stories of the day’s adventures.
Your next stop is the Ngorongoro Crater, where you can experience the thrill of spotting the Big Five in their natural habitat. Staying at Ngorongoro Forest Tented Lodge, you’ll benefit from its proximity to the crater gate, ensuring you maximize your game-viewing opportunities. Enjoy delicious meals in a cozy setting, with the warmth of a campfire enhancing the experience.
Finally, visit Lake Manyara, known for its stunning landscapes and diverse birdlife. This journey not only allows for ample wildlife encounters but also provides a chance to relax and soak in the beauty of Tanzania. With multiple nights in each park, you’ll have the time to truly appreciate the unique ecosystems and wildlife of this remarkable region. This tour is ideal for those seeking a balanced mix of adventure and comfort, making it perfect for families or couples looking for a memorable escape.
