3-Day Luxury Safari: Ngorongoro & Central Serengeti with Ole Serai
Why this Package
For first safaris, this 3-Day safari tour through Ngorongoro and the Central Serengeti offers a perfect blend of wildlife density and predator sightings. Begin your adventure at the stunning Ole Serai Luxury Camp – Moru Kopjes, where you'll enjoy a polished tented experience nestled near the iconic Moru Kopjes, renowned for their rhino populations and breathtaking landscapes. This camp provides a quieter atmosphere compared to the busier Seronera area, making it ideal for couples and photographers alike.
Your culinary journey will feature plated meals with buffet-style breakfasts, picnic lunches, and exquisite three-course dinners that blend local and international flavors. The attention to detail in both food and service ensures a delightful dining experience, setting a high standard for your safari.
Each well-furnished tent at Ole Serai boasts hardwood floors, king or twin beds, en-suite bathrooms with hot showers, and private verandas for a touch of luxury in the wild. The camp also features a mess tent, lounge, and a cozy campfire circle, perfect for sharing stories after a day of exploration.
After your stay in the Serengeti, you will transition to Suricata Boma Lodge in Karatu, a modern boutique-style lodge that emphasizes community involvement and a youthful energy. With spacious cottages and bungalows featuring en-suite bathrooms and verandas, you will find comfort and style in this mid-range accommodation. Dining here focuses on fresh, locally sourced produce, with early breakfasts and lunch boxes prepared for your game drives, ensuring you are well-fueled for your adventures.
Access to both parks is convenient, with the Ngorongoro gate only a short drive away, allowing you to maximize your time in the crater, famous for its Big 5 sightings. This itinerary is perfect for first-time travelers seeking a comprehensive experience of Tanzania's rich wildlife and stunning landscapes.
