7-Day Mid-Range Serengeti Safari with Marera Valley Lodge
Why this Package
When the north is active, this 7-day safari tour explores the stunning landscapes of Tarangire, the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, and the iconic Central and North Serengeti, all while enjoying the comforts of mid-range lodges. Begin your adventure at Marera Valley Lodge in Karatu, a cozy base that offers a rustic-chic atmosphere with hearty meals served on the veranda overlooking the valley. The lodge features 14 cottages, each equipped with en-suite bathrooms, private verandas, and fireplaces, ensuring a comfortable stay after a day of wildlife exploration.
Your journey continues to the Central Serengeti, where you'll stay at Nyikani Tented Camp Serengeti. This permanent tented camp provides a blend of authenticity and comfort, perfect for families and couples alike. Enjoy hearty communal meals and relax in canvas tents that offer en-suite bathrooms and a cozy atmosphere. The camp's location ensures reliable sightings of predators year-round, making it an ideal spot for wildlife enthusiasts.
Next, you will experience the vibrant wildlife of the North Serengeti at Tanzania Bush Camps Kogatende. This seasonal camp is strategically set up to follow the migration, providing an authentic canvas experience. Meals are simple yet filling, and the camp's proximity to the Mara River crossings allows for quick access to witness one of nature's most spectacular events—the Great Wildebeest Migration.
With multiple nights in each park, you will have ample time to immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of Tanzania's landscapes and wildlife. Whether it's watching the sunrise over the baobabs in Tarangire or spotting the Big 5 in the Ngorongoro Crater, this safari promises unforgettable memories.
