7-Day Upper Mid-Range Tarangire Serengeti Safari with Hippo Trails Camp
Why this Package
Your safari combines the wilderness charm of Tarangire, the year-round predators of Central Serengeti, and the seasonal pulse of West Serengeti. Over seven days, you will experience the thrill of game drives while enjoying the comforts of mid-range and luxury accommodations. Begin your adventure at Lake Burunge Baobab Tented Lodge, where you can unwind with stunning sunset views over the lake and indulge in hearty buffet meals. The lodge features thatched tented rooms with en-suite bathrooms, offering a blend of comfort and nature.
Next, venture into the heart of the Serengeti and stay at Hippo Trails Camp, which provides an immersive experience with its prime location near the Seronera River Valley. Here, you can enjoy early teas, picnic breakfasts, and communal dinners, all while surrounded by the sounds of the wild. The Meru-style tents come equipped with comfortable beds, mosquito nets, and en-suite facilities, ensuring a restful stay.
Lastly, your journey includes a stay at KanKari Lodge in Karatu, a peaceful retreat that offers a more personal experience. Enjoy home-cooked meals featuring fresh local ingredients, and relax in modest yet comfortable en-suite rooms with private verandas overlooking the lush gardens. This lodge serves as an ideal base for exploring the nearby Ngorongoro Crater, where you can witness the Big Five in their natural habitat.
With multiple nights in each location, you will have ample time to soak in the breathtaking landscapes and observe the incredible wildlife, making this safari a perfect choice for those seeking a deeper connection with Tanzania’s natural beauty.
Mix of mid-range and luxury 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.
