A crisp 3-Day safari tour plan that trades park count for payoff at two proven locations: the Central Serengeti and Ngorongoro. This journey is designed for those who appreciate a blend of comfort and adventure, featuring stays at Serengeti Lake Magadi Lodge and Karatu Simba Lodge.

At Serengeti Lake Magadi Lodge, you’ll enjoy a luxury experience with solid-structure rooms that offer king or twin beds, en-suite bathrooms, and private verandas overlooking the serene lakeside. The lodge provides a delightful dining experience with buffet-style breakfasts, picnic lunches for your game drives, and a variety of Swahili and international dishes for dinner. With its prime location near the Serengeti, you’ll have easy access to reliable game drives, ensuring you don’t miss out on the incredible wildlife.

Transitioning to Karatu Simba Lodge, located on the outskirts of Karatu, you’ll find a rustic eco-styled retreat that emphasizes a natural feel. The lodge features cozy cottages with canvas fronts and stone bases, en-suite bathrooms, and verandas that offer stunning views of the rolling hills. Meals are served with a mix of international and Tanzanian dishes, and guests often praise the hearty offerings made with fresh local produce. This lodge provides a quieter atmosphere compared to others in the area, making it a perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploration.

Travelers will appreciate the opportunity to experience both the vibrant wildlife of the Ngorongoro Crater and the expansive plains of the Serengeti. The Ngorongoro Crater is renowned for its diverse wildlife, including the Big Five, while the Serengeti is famous for its great migration routes and big cats. This itinerary is ideal for first-time visitors or those looking to combine their safari adventure with a relaxing stay in Zanzibar.
