3-Day Upper Mid-Range Safari: Ngorongoro & Central Serengeti with Farmhouse Valley Adventure
Why this Package
Balance your 3-Day safari tour: one day drops into the crater, the next works big-cat terrain in Central Serengeti. Start your adventure at Farmhouse Valley Adventure, a mid-range lodge located on the outskirts of Karatu. This lodge offers a relaxing atmosphere with spacious chalet-style rooms featuring en-suite bathrooms and private verandas, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration. Enjoy full-board dining with locally sourced ingredients, including fresh produce from the lodge’s gardens, ensuring hearty meals to fuel your safari.
On your first day, descend into the Ngorongoro Crater, where you can witness the stunning wildlife diversity, including the Big Five. The lodge's early breakfast service allows you to set off at dawn, maximizing your time in this unique ecosystem. After a day of game viewing, return to the lodge for a buffet-style dinner, offering a variety of options to satisfy your palate.
Your second night will be spent at Into Wild Africa Tented Camp in the Central Serengeti, known for its stylish authenticity and eco-conscious design. Here, you can enjoy intimate dining experiences with plated dinners that blend international and Swahili flavors. The large canvas tents provide comfort with king or twin beds, en-suite bathrooms, and private verandas, allowing you to immerse yourself in the sounds of the wild.
With its central location, this camp ensures reliable sightings of big cats year-round, making it an ideal choice for both first-time safari-goers and seasoned travelers. The shared mess tent and campfire setup create a cozy atmosphere for evening relaxation. As you sit around the fire, reflect on the day’s adventures and watch the sunset over the Serengeti plains.

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.
