Karatu Town

After breakfast at the camp in Tarangire you will head-out towards the gate and exit the park, you will still be enjoying game views along the way.
Your next stop is Karatu town, some 106kms (approx. 66 miles) away.
Enjoy quiet, little Karatu. Its busy main street is a window on urban life in a small provincial town, but it’s much quieter just a few blocks away from the main road.
Shop, go to the bank or simply walk the streets – all are possible here.

Relax and generally take it easy with a full body massage at the lodge to allow yourself to both process and recover from all of the excitement that you’ve enjoyed on your safari so far.

Karatu to Central Serengeti

It's time for you to get to know the Central Serengeti, one of the most wildlife-rich places in all of East Africa early in the morning as you check out from the lodge after breakfast towards the Serengeti Nabi gate.

All three big cats are commonly seen, as are many other animals, and the savannah grasslands interspersed with signature acacia trees is classic safari terrain. It can get busy, but it's a vast area where you can easily find some solitude.

You'll get to know Serengeti National Park in the best possible way on a guided game drive. Led by an expert guide, you'll drive out across the park's famous savannahs to look for the incredible wildlife (big cats, elephants, and more) that calls the park home.
When we reach your luxury tented accommodation in the park, we will check you in.

Again we'll take you out on an afternoon game drive before we head back to the camp for the evening.
