A short circuit with outsized returns: embark on a 3-day safari through the Central Serengeti and Ngorongoro, where you’ll experience the thrill of wildlife in their natural habitat while enjoying the comforts of an upper mid-range tented camp. The Dove Serengeti Tented Camp is perfectly situated near Seronera, ensuring year-round wildlife action and an intimate atmosphere that fosters personal connections with nature.

Your journey begins with early morning teas and hearty breakfasts, either in camp or as picnic meals to maximize your time on the game loops. After a day of exploring the stunning landscapes and diverse wildlife, enjoy plated three-course dinners under the stars, often accompanied by bush sundowners that enhance the experience.

Accommodations at Dove Serengeti feature classic Meru-style safari tents equipped with en-suite bathrooms, including hot bucket showers and flush toilets. Each tent offers a cozy atmosphere with proper beds and small verandas, allowing you to unwind while soaking in the sounds of the African bush. The camp’s lounge and dining area create a warm, communal space for guests to share their day’s adventures.

On your second day, you will transition to the Heart and Soul Lodge in Karatu, a mid-range eco-styled property that emphasizes sustainability and personal service. With only a short drive to the Ngorongoro Crater, you’ll be able to catch the tail end of predator activity on the crater floor. Meals here focus on locally sourced ingredients, providing a taste of authentic Tanzanian flavors in a cozy, intimate setting.

With its small number of cottages and eco-conscious design, Heart and Soul Lodge offers a tranquil retreat after your safari adventures. The lodge features en-suite bathrooms, verandas, and a swimming pool, ensuring a comfortable stay that aligns with your values of eco-sensitivity.

This safari is ideal for first-time visitors looking to combine the breathtaking landscapes of the Serengeti with the unique geological wonders of the Ngorongoro Crater. The combination of wildlife viewing and eco-friendly accommodations makes for an unforgettable experience.
