3-Day Mid-Range Safari: Ngorongoro & Central Serengeti with Kati Kati Camp
Why this Package
Balance your 3-Day safari tour: one day drops into the crater, the next works big-cat terrain in Central Serengeti. This adventure begins with a stay at Karatu Simba Lodge, a rustic eco-styled lodge nestled among rolling hills. Here, you’ll enjoy hearty meals featuring fresh vegetables from local farms, served in a communal dining hall. The lodge offers comfortable cottages with en-suite bathrooms and stunning views, providing a peaceful retreat after a day of exploration.
On your second night, you’ll transition to the Kati Kati Tented Camp in Central Serengeti, where simplicity meets functionality. This camp is ideally located for early morning game drives, allowing you to witness the vibrant wildlife of the Serengeti before the crowds arrive. Meals here are basic yet hearty, featuring stews and grilled meats, enjoyed in a communal setting around a cozy campfire.
With one night in the Ngorongoro Crater and another in the heart of the Serengeti, this itinerary offers a perfect blend of wildlife viewing and relaxation. The access to both parks enhances your chances of spotting the Big Five, making this safari ideal for first-timers or those looking to combine their adventure with a Kilimanjaro trek or a Zanzibar getaway.
Immerse yourself in the breathtaking landscapes and rich wildlife of Tanzania, where every moment promises to be unforgettable.
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.
