3-Day Upper Mid-Range Safari: Central Serengeti & Ngorongoro with Nyikani Camp
Why this Package
Experience the thrill of wildlife encounters in Central Serengeti and the stunning Ngorongoro Crater on this immersive 3-Day safari tour. The combination of these iconic locations offers a unique opportunity to witness both the majestic lions of Seronera and the elusive rhinos of Ngorongoro.
Your adventure begins at Nyikani Tented Camp Serengeti, a mid-range permanent camp that provides a blend of authenticity and comfort. Here, you can enjoy hearty meals that foster a communal atmosphere, including early teas, picnic breakfasts, and filling dinners. The canvas tents are equipped with comfortable beds, en-suite bathrooms, and a cozy lounge area, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration.
After a night in the Serengeti, you’ll venture to the Ngorongoro Coffee Lodge, nestled among lush coffee estates in Karatu. This upper mid-range lodge offers spacious cottages with fireplaces and verandas, allowing for a relaxing retreat. The meals here are a highlight, featuring estate coffee and a mix of international and local dishes, ensuring you are well-fueled for your adventures.
With easy access to both parks, you can maximize your wildlife viewing opportunities. The drive to the Ngorongoro Gate is approximately 25–30 minutes, allowing for early morning access to the crater floor. This strategic location also makes it simple to alternate between the breathtaking landscapes of Ngorongoro and the predator-rich valleys of the Serengeti.
Whether you are a first-time visitor or looking to combine this experience with a trek up Mount Kilimanjaro or a beach escape to Zanzibar, this safari offers a perfect balance of adventure and comfort.

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. None of this is visible on websites or forums, which is why NMT connects you directly with the operators best suited to your safari tier.
