Your stay at Serengeti River Camp in the heart of the Serengeti ensures you enjoy polished canvas comfort with prime game-viewing access.

Dining at the camp is a delight, offering buffet breakfasts or picnic breakfasts for early drives, packed lunches to maximize your game time, and plated dinners featuring both international and Swahili options. This attention to culinary detail enhances your safari experience, making every meal memorable.
After your Serengeti adventure, you will head to Suricata Boma Lodge in Karatu for a night.

The lodge features spacious cottages with en-suite bathrooms and verandas, perfect for relaxation after a day of exploration. Meals here emphasize fresh, locally sourced produce, with a mix of international and Tanzanian recipes, ensuring a delightful dining experience.
With just a short drive to the Ngorongoro Crater, you will be well-positioned to descend into the crater early, maximizing your chances of witnessing the incredible wildlife that inhabits this UNESCO World Heritage Site. The combination of these two remarkable locations makes this safari an ideal choice for first-time visitors or those looking to combine their adventure with a trip to Kilimanjaro or Zanzibar.
