9-Day Mid-Range Arusha, Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater & Serengeti
This 9-day mid-range Tanzania itinerary begins with a restful night at Rivertrees Country Inn, a tranquil haven nestled along the lush banks of the Usa River. Here, you can unwind in country-style surroundings, savouring fresh, locally inspired cuisine and preparing for the safari days ahead.
Your adventure continues to the breathtaking Tarangire National Park, where two nights at Tarangire Ndovu Tented Lodge immerse you in a wildlife haven known for its majestic baobabs and large elephant herds. Explore the wilderness on expertly guided game drives, and marvel at the park's incredible diversity, from predators to over 500 bird species.
Next, uncover the wonders of the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti’s Great Migration. Two nights at Lemala Ngorongoro Tented Camp position you perfectly to explore this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Then, spend three unforgettable nights at Ubuntu Migration Camp, strategically located to follow the dramatic movements of the migrating herds. Each moment is an authentic safari experience, tailored to showcase Tanzania's natural splendour.

What a unique and special place. The location of the camp was perfect and the setting was spectacular, set amongst a forest of Acacia trees. I just loved it. I will never forget the “clomp, clomp” of a zebra trotting by our tent in the very early morning hours. We really enjoyed our guide Hassan; what a bright, articulate young man. We were amongst the first jeeps in the crater in the morning and after a full day (almost 9 hours), Hassan had showed us basically the whole crater and so much wildlife.
Your driver and guide will take you to Lemala Ngorongoro Tented Camp for your next two nights. The camp is a secluded haven set in a pristine acacia forest near the Ngorongoro Crater rim. The camp's location provides unmatched access to this UNESCO World Heritage Site, allowing for early starts to explore the crater’s wildlife-rich floor before the crowds arrive. Your spacious tent combines rustic charm with modern comforts.
Wake to the sounds of nature and go on game drives through the Ngorongoro Crater, home to an incredible density of wildlife, including lions, rhinos, and vast herds of wildebeest. Evenings at Lemala are equally magical, with delicious meals, warm campfire gatherings, and the chance to unwind under star-filled skies.

We loved Ubuntu. Everything was great. It was a good mix of lux and camping. The staff were fantastic. Our guide (Michael) was fantastic. We saw a ton. The food was simple but very good. We really liked the communal dinners so we got to meet a lot of people. The lounge area was really nice. If I had to pick this may be my favourite part of the entire trip!
Today, your driver and guide will drop you off at Lake Manyara Airstrip for your short flight to the northern Serengeti and Lamai Airstrip, for your last few nights at Ubuntu Migration Camp. Ubuntu Migration Camp offers an unparalleled safari experience, moving with the Great Migration to ensure you're always at the heart of the action.
