3-Day Upper Mid-Range Safari: Ngorongoro & Central Serengeti with Ngorongoro Coffee Lodge
Why this Package
Split a compact 3-Day safari tour between the stunning Ngorongoro Crater and the wildlife-rich Central Serengeti, all while enjoying the comforts of an upper mid-range lodge. Your adventure begins at Ngorongoro Coffee Lodge, nestled among Karatu’s lush coffee estates. Here, you’ll find generous cottages equipped with fireplaces and en-suite bathrooms, providing a cozy retreat after exhilarating days of game viewing.
Meals at the lodge are a highlight, featuring early hot and cold breakfasts, hearty picnic lunches for your full-day drives, and plated dinners that celebrate local produce. The estate coffee is a daily indulgence, perfect for energizing your morning before heading out to explore.
On your second day, you’ll transition to Tukaone Weavers Camp Serengeti, a mid-range tented camp that serves as a practical base for your wildlife adventures. The rustic charm of the Meru-style canvas tents, complete with en-suite bathrooms, offers essential comfort without compromising on the safari experience. Meals here are simple yet filling, with communal dinners that foster a sense of camaraderie among guests.
With one night in each park, you’ll maximize your wildlife encounters, from the iconic Big Five in Ngorongoro to the thrilling predator sightings in the Serengeti. The accessibility of both lodges ensures you can make the most of your time on game drives, with short transfer times to key wildlife areas. This itinerary is perfect for first-time safari-goers or couples looking for a blend of adventure and comfort.

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.
