5-Day Mid-Range Serengeti & Ngorongoro Safari

This five-day mid-range safari delivers the essential Tanzania safari experience with the comfort of quality lodge and tented camp accommodation throughout. Two full days in the Serengeti give you time to explore the park's diverse habitats and seek out the incredible wildlife, while comfortable evenings in well-appointed lodges ensure you are rested and refreshed for each day's adventure. From Arusha, you travel through the Great Rift Valley to Lake Manyara or Tarangire for your first wildlife encounters. The Serengeti awaits with two full days of game driving through the central Seronera valley, where leopards drape themselves over acacia branches, lion prides rest in the shade of kopjes, and vast herds of plains game graze under the watchful eyes of cheetahs. Your guide will share deep knowledge of animal behavior, ecology, and the seasonal patterns that shape this magnificent ecosystem. The tour culminates with a morning descent into the Ngorongoro Crater, where the enclosed ecosystem supports an extraordinary density of wildlife. Mid-range lodges and tented camps on this route offer en-suite facilities, reliable electricity, excellent food, and the kind of warm hospitality that makes Tanzania famous among safari destinations worldwide.
