Balance your 3-Day safari tour: one day drops into the crater, the next works big-cat terrain in Central Serengeti. Your adventure begins at Foresight Eco Lodge & Safari, a budget-friendly base in Karatu, where you can enjoy hearty home-cooked meals featuring local Tanzanian staples. The lodge's commitment to sustainability creates a warm atmosphere, perfect for travelers seeking an authentic experience.

After a restful night in simple yet comfortable accommodations, you’ll set off early for the Ngorongoro Crater, arriving just after dawn to maximize your chances of spotting the Big 5. The lodge's location adds a bit of travel time, but the scenic drive is worth it, and the cozy rooms with private baths ensure a rejuvenating stay.

Next, venture into the heart of the Central Serengeti at Nyikani Tented Camp Serengeti. Here, you’ll find a mid-range permanent tented camp that balances comfort with an authentic safari experience. Enjoy communal meals that foster a sense of camaraderie among guests, and retreat to your canvas tent equipped with en-suite bathrooms for a peaceful night's rest.

With one night in each location, this itinerary allows you to experience the diverse wildlife and stunning landscapes of both parks while enjoying the comforts of well-appointed lodges. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or combining this journey with a climb of Mount Kilimanjaro or a beach escape in Zanzibar, this safari offers a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation.
