3-Day Mid-Range Safari: Ngorongoro & Central Serengeti with Osero Camp
Why this Package
Split a compact 3-Day safari tour between the stunning Ngorongoro Crater and the wildlife-rich Central Serengeti, enjoying the comforts of a mid-range tented camp. This itinerary is perfect for those looking to experience the best of Tanzania's wildlife while staying in comfortable yet affordable accommodations.
Your journey begins at Tanzanice Farm Lodge, a charming family-run property located on the outskirts of Karatu. Here, you’ll enjoy hearty home-cooked meals made with ingredients sourced directly from the farm, creating a truly authentic dining experience. The lodge features en-suite rooms decorated in a rustic farmhouse style, offering tranquil views across the coffee fields and gardens, making it an ideal base for your Ngorongoro Crater excursion.
After your night at Tanzanice, you’ll head to the Osero Serengeti Tented Camp in the Central Serengeti, where you can immerse yourself in the heart of wildlife action. The camp provides simple yet comfortable Meru-style canvas tents equipped with en-suite bathrooms and solar lighting. Enjoy communal dining with fellow guests, featuring picnic breakfasts and hearty dinners that foster a social atmosphere. The camp's central location ensures excellent access to the Seronera valley, known for its year-round predator sightings.
With one night in each lodge, you’ll maximize your wildlife viewing opportunities while experiencing the unique charm of both locations. The Ngorongoro Crater is renowned for its diverse ecosystems and abundant wildlife, including the Big Five, while the Central Serengeti is famous for its great migration routes and big cats. This blend of experiences makes this safari ideal for first-timers or those looking to combine their adventure with a Kilimanjaro trek or a relaxing Zanzibar getaway.
For an unforgettable safari experience, consider this trip that balances comfort, accessibility, and the thrill of Tanzania's incredible wildlife.
Mix of budget and 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.
