Why this Package

From Tarangire’s elephants to Central Serengeti’s open plains and North Serengeti’s dramatic riverbanks, this tour covers it all. Over the course of seven days, you will experience the diverse wildlife and stunning landscapes of Tarangire, the iconic Serengeti, and the breathtaking North Serengeti. Your journey begins at Ikumbi Lodge in Karatu, an affordable safari base that offers a comfortable stay with full-board dining featuring both international and local dishes. The lodge's modern rooms and cottages are designed for relaxation, with private bathrooms and beautiful garden views, ensuring a cozy atmosphere after your daily adventures.

During your safari, you will spend one night in Tarangire, where you can witness the majestic elephants and unique baobab trees. Following this, you will head to the Central Serengeti, where Osinon Camps and Lodges provides a mid-range experience with canvas tents that offer direct access to the park's wildlife-rich areas. Enjoy hearty meals and the chance to spot predators in action, all while being surrounded by the stunning Serengeti landscape.

Your adventure continues in the North Serengeti at Nyikani Migration Camp Kogatende, a seasonal camp strategically located near the Mara River crossings. Here, you can immerse yourself in the thrill of the Great Migration, with simple yet comfortable accommodations and communal meals that foster a sense of camaraderie among guests. The camp's proximity to the river ensures you won't miss the dramatic river crossings that define this area.
