3-Day Upper Mid-Range Safari: Central Serengeti & Ngorongoro with Signature Camp
Why this Package
Balance your 3-Day safari tour between the stunning Central Serengeti and the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, all while enjoying the comforts of an upper mid-range tented camp. This itinerary allows you to immerse yourself in the rich wildlife and diverse landscapes of Tanzania.
Your adventure begins in the Central Serengeti, where the Signature Serengeti Tented Safari Camp offers a close-to-nature experience. Here, you can enjoy hearty meals tailored for long game drives, including early breakfasts and communal dinners. The Meru-style tents provide cozy accommodations with en-suite bathrooms, ensuring comfort in the heart of the wilderness.
After a day of exploring the Serengeti’s vibrant wildlife, you’ll transition to the Ngorongoro Marera Mountain View Lodge. Nestled on a scenic slope, this lodge features spacious cottage rooms with stunning valley views and a refreshing hillside pool. Meals are prepared with fresh produce, allowing you to savor local flavors while relaxing in a tranquil setting.
Accessibility is a highlight of this journey, with both parks being conveniently reachable from your lodges. The Ngorongoro Crater is just a short drive away, providing an excellent opportunity for viewing the Big Five in their natural habitat. This combination of locations and accommodations makes it perfect for first-time visitors looking to experience the best of Tanzania.
As you traverse these iconic landscapes, you’ll have the chance to witness the majestic wildlife that roams freely, from the vast herds of wildebeest to the elusive big cats. Each moment spent in these parks is a chance to connect with nature and create unforgettable memories.
