A short circuit with outsized returns: 3-Day safari tour through Ngorongoro and Central Serengeti while enjoying the comforts of an upper mid-range tented camp. Your adventure begins in the stunning landscapes of Ngorongoro Crater, where you will have the chance to witness the incredible wildlife, including the Big 5, in their natural habitat.

Staying at Heart and Soul Lodge in Karatu, you will appreciate its eco-conscious design and intimate atmosphere. The lodge emphasizes locally sourced ingredients, offering hearty meals that include early breakfasts and lunch packs for your crater excursions. After a day of exploration, enjoy a communal dinner featuring fresh vegetables and Tanzanian flavors, creating a warm, home-style dining experience.

Then, venture into the heart of the Serengeti, where Baobab Central Serengeti Tented Camp awaits. This seasonal camp is perfectly situated near Seronera’s predator hotspots, ensuring you have ample opportunities to see lions, leopards, and cheetahs. The canvas tents are equipped with comfortable beds, en-suite bathrooms, and verandas to soak in the breathtaking surroundings. Meals here are designed for long safari days, with hearty picnic breakfasts and communal dinners that foster a sense of camaraderie among guests.

The accessibility of both lodges enhances your experience, with Heart and Soul Lodge being just a short drive from the Ngorongoro gate, allowing you to catch the early morning wildlife activity. Meanwhile, Baobab Camp provides quick access to the best game viewing areas in the Serengeti, making it an ideal base for your safari.

For first-time travelers or those combining this journey with a trek up Mount Kilimanjaro or a beach escape to Zanzibar, this 3-day safari offers a perfect blend of adventure and comfort.
