3-Day Upper Mid-Range Safari: Central Serengeti with Jackals Lair Camp
Why this Package
For cat aficionados, Seronera’s valleys and kopjes front-load your 3-Day safari tour with action—short grass for cheetah, rocky lookouts for lion. Nestled in the Central Serengeti (Seronera), Jackals Lair Tented Camp provides an authentic experience for travelers eager to embark on game drives just minutes after sunrise. This upper mid-range camp offers a blend of comfort and adventure, allowing you to immerse yourself in the vibrant wildlife of the Serengeti.
Your days will begin with pre-dawn coffee and light bites, followed by hearty hot breakfasts either in camp or as picnic spreads on the plains. Lunches are designed to keep you on the move, while dinners feature delicious plated meals, including grilled mains and seasonal vegetables, with vegetarian and vegan options available upon request.
The camp features Meru-style tents on raised decks, complete with proper beds, bedside lighting, and en-suite bathrooms equipped with flush toilets and hot showers. The canvas and mesh panels ensure airflow, creating a comfortable atmosphere. Enjoy the convivial mess/lounge tent and gather around the nightly campfire for stories of the day’s adventures.
Access to Jackals Lair is convenient, with the Seronera Airstrip (SEU) just a short 15-30 minute drive away. This prime location allows you to quickly reach key wildlife areas, including central river lines and hippo pools, enhancing your chances of spotting lions, leopards, and elephants. The Central Serengeti is renowned for its year-round game viewing, making it an ideal destination for first-time safari-goers or those looking to combine their adventure with a trek on Mount Kilimanjaro or a relaxing beach escape in Zanzibar.
