3-Day Upper Mid-Range Safari: Central Serengeti & Ngorongoro with KumbuKumbu
Why this Package
Experience a compact 3-Day safari tour that combines the stunning landscapes of Central Serengeti and the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, all while enjoying the comforts of an upper mid-range tented camp. This itinerary is perfect for travelers seeking a balance of adventure and comfort, allowing you to witness the rich wildlife of the Serengeti and the unique geological features of Ngorongoro.
Your stay at KumbuKumbu Tented Camp places you right in the heart of the action, with easy access to prime game loops. Here, you can enjoy hearty meals featuring local flavors, including picnic breakfasts and communal dinners that foster a sense of camaraderie among guests. The Meru-style tents offer cozy beds and en-suite bathrooms, ensuring a comfortable retreat after a day of exploration.
On the other hand, your time at Foresight Eco Lodge & Safari in Karatu allows you to immerse yourself in a community-focused atmosphere. With simple yet delicious dining options, including early breakfasts for safari departures, you’ll be well-fueled for your adventures. The lodge’s eco-friendly design and rustic charm create a peaceful environment, perfect for unwinding after a day of wildlife viewing.
Travelers will appreciate the logistical ease of this itinerary, with access to both parks being efficient and straightforward. The opportunity to spend a night in the crater allows for deeper wildlife experiences, while the Serengeti’s renowned predator activity ensures thrilling game drives. This safari is ideal for first-timers or those looking to combine their adventure with a trip to nearby destinations like Kilimanjaro or Zanzibar.
With the chance to witness the iconic wildlife of Tanzania, including the Big Five, this safari promises unforgettable memories.
Mix of budget and upper mid-range Tanzania Safari
Book with the Right Tour Operator
Each safari company has its own strengths — some specialize in luxury safaris, some in mid-range, and some in budget trips. Their expertise depends on years of experience in specific price categories, the quality of their guides and vehicles, and the lodge partnerships they’ve built over time.
