3-Day Upper Mid-Range Safari: Ngorongoro & Central Serengeti with Dove Camp
Why this Package
Crater dawns and Serengeti sunsets—3-Day safari tour arranged for golden hours at both Ngorongoro and Central Serengeti, offering a blend of adventure and comfort. Begin your journey at Dove Serengeti Tented Camp, where you’ll find a unique upper mid-range experience nestled in the heart of the Serengeti. This intimate camp provides a personal touch, ensuring that you receive attentive guiding while being surrounded by the vibrant ecosystem. Enjoy delightful meals, including hearty breakfasts and three-course dinners, designed to enhance your safari experience.
After your night in the Serengeti, you’ll transition to Tloma Lodge in Karatu, a charming mid-range option set against a picturesque coffee plantation backdrop. Here, you can savor fresh, farm-to-table meals that highlight the local produce, making each dining experience memorable. The lodge’s cozy chalet-style rooms overlook lush gardens, providing a peaceful retreat after your daily adventures.
With one night in each location, this itinerary allows you to explore the stunning landscapes and wildlife of both parks without feeling rushed. The Ngorongoro Crater is renowned for its diverse wildlife, including the Big Five, while the Serengeti is famous for its vast savannahs and the Great Migration. This trip is perfect for first-time visitors eager to witness the incredible wildlife of Tanzania while enjoying the comforts of well-appointed lodges.
For those looking to enhance their safari experience, consider the nearby attractions and activities, such as hot air balloon rides over the Serengeti or visiting local Maasai villages. Each moment spent in these breathtaking landscapes will create lasting memories.
Mix of mid-range and upper 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.
