3-Day Upper Mid-Range Safari: Central Serengeti & Ngorongoro with Arukore Simba Camp
Why this Package
In this 3-Day safari, explore the stunning landscapes of the Central Serengeti and the iconic Ngorongoro Crater while enjoying the comforts of an upper mid-range tented lodge. The balance between comfort and authenticity at Arukore Simba Camp makes it an ideal choice for travelers seeking a memorable experience.
At Arukore Simba Camp, guests can savor delicious meals that include early tea and coffee, picnic breakfasts, and plated three-course dinners featuring local flavors. The camp's canvas tents are designed for comfort, with en-suite bathrooms and verandas that offer a cozy retreat after a day of adventure.
With its central location, Arukore Simba Camp provides easy access to the best wildlife viewing opportunities, including the chance to see the great migration and year-round predator activity. After a day of exploring, unwind by the fire pit under the stars, sharing stories of the day’s encounters.
Travelers will appreciate the well-maintained facilities and the inviting atmosphere of the camp, which is perfect for couples or small groups. The journey to the Ngorongoro Crater is also manageable, allowing for early morning descents to witness the wildlife during peak activity hours.
This safari is particularly suited for first-time visitors to Tanzania, as well as those looking to combine their adventure with a trip to nearby Kilimanjaro or the beautiful beaches of Zanzibar. Experience the thrill of watching wildlife in their natural habitat, from the majestic lions of the Serengeti to the unique ecosystems of the Ngorongoro Crater.
Mix of mid-range 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. 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.
