3-Day Upper Mid-Range Safari: Ngorongoro & Central Serengeti with Farm of Dreams Lodge
Why this Package
A crisp 3-Day safari tour plan that trades park count for payoff at two proven locations: Ngorongoro and Central Serengeti. This journey offers a blend of comfort and adventure, perfect for first-time visitors eager to explore Tanzania's stunning landscapes and wildlife. Begin your experience at the Farm of Dreams Lodge in Karatu, a spacious mid-range base that provides a lively atmosphere and excellent access to the Ngorongoro Crater. Enjoy hearty buffet-style meals that cater well to groups, with early breakfasts and packed lunches available for your crater adventures.
After a night in Karatu, you’ll head to the Nyota Luxury Tented Camp in the heart of the Serengeti, where you can indulge in a luxury tented experience. Here, fine dining awaits, with plated breakfasts and three-course dinners, all while surrounded by the breathtaking landscapes of the Serengeti. The luxury canvas tents feature en-suite bathrooms and verandas, allowing you to soak in the beauty of the wild right from your accommodation.
Exploring the Ngorongoro Crater offers incredible wildlife sightings, including the Big Five, while the Central Serengeti is renowned for its predator-rich valleys, ensuring thrilling encounters throughout your safari. With just two nights, you’ll maximize your time in these iconic parks, enjoying both relaxation and adventure. This tour is ideal for travelers looking to combine a safari with potential extensions to Zanzibar or Kilimanjaro treks.
Mix of mid-range and luxury 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.
