7-Day Mid-Range Tarangire Ndutu Serengeti Safari with Serengeti Simba
Why this Package
From Tarangire’s elephant-studded river valleys to Central Serengeti’s lion-filled plains and the calving spectacle of Ndutu, this safari captures it all. Over the course of seven days, you will experience the breathtaking wildlife and landscapes of Tarangire, the iconic Serengeti, and the vibrant Ndutu region. Your journey begins in Arusha, where you will embark on an adventure that balances comfort and authenticity with a mix of mid-range lodges and tented camps.
Your first night will be spent at Nyikani Tented Camp Serengeti, a mid-range permanent tented camp located in the heart of the Central Serengeti. Here, you will enjoy hearty meals served in a communal setting, including picnic breakfasts and plated dinners. The canvas tents come equipped with comfortable beds, en-suite bathrooms, and a cozy mess tent for socializing. With reliable access to the area’s predators, you’ll have ample opportunities for unforgettable wildlife sightings.
Next, you will stay at the Serengeti Simba Lodge, known for its solid structure and family-friendly atmosphere. This lodge offers buffet-style meals featuring local and international dishes, along with comfortable thatched stone cottages that include private verandas. Its central location provides easy access to the Seronera Valley, ensuring you won’t miss the chance to see lions and leopards in their natural habitat.
Your adventure continues at Sero Tented Camp Ndutu, a mid-range mobile camp ideally positioned for the wildebeest calving season. You’ll enjoy basic yet filling meals, including picnic breakfasts in the bush and hearty dinners. The Meru-style tents come with real beds and en-suite bathrooms, allowing you to immerse yourself in the wild while still enjoying essential comforts. The camp’s off-road permits will enable you to follow the action closely, making for an exhilarating experience.
Finally, your journey concludes with a relaxing flight to Zanzibar, where you can unwind on the stunning beaches after an unforgettable safari. This itinerary is perfect for travelers seeking a well-rounded experience, combining wildlife viewing, comfort, and the chance to explore the beautiful landscapes of Tanzania.
