Why this Package
Experience the magic of Ngorongoro and the Central Serengeti on this 3-Day safari tour, designed to immerse you in the breathtaking landscapes and wildlife of Tanzania. Crater sunrises and Serengeti sunsets await as you explore these iconic parks while enjoying the comforts of a mid-range lodge.
Your adventure begins with a stay at Ngorongoro Farm House, a spacious lodge nestled just outside Karatu, styled around a colonial coffee plantation. Here, you’ll enjoy full-board dining featuring fresh produce sourced from the lodge’s own farm, ensuring hearty meals to fuel your explorations. The chalet-style rooms provide a cozy retreat, each with a private terrace overlooking lush gardens and coffee fields, making it perfect for families or couples seeking comfort without the luxury price tag.
After a restful night, you’ll embark on a game drive in the Ngorongoro Crater, where the chance to see the Big 5 is high. The lodge’s proximity to the crater gate allows for early departures, maximizing your wildlife viewing opportunities. Following your time in Ngorongoro, you’ll head to the Central Serengeti for another night at Osinon Camps and Lodges. This mid-range camp offers a functional yet comfortable base, allowing you to wake up amidst the park's vibrant wildlife. Enjoy simple buffet breakfasts and hearty communal dinners, fostering a social atmosphere among fellow travelers.
With canvas tents equipped with proper beds and en-suite bathrooms, your stay at Osinon balances adventure with comfort. The camp's location in the heart of the Serengeti ensures you are well-positioned for prime wildlife sightings, including the majestic predators of the region. This tour is ideal for first-time visitors eager to experience the essence of a Tanzania safari, combining relaxation and adventure in two of the country's most stunning locations.
