3-Day Upper Mid-Range Serengeti Tour with Lake Manyara Kilimamoja Lodge
Why this Package
Split a compact 3-Day safari tour between the Central Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater for high yield per day. Experience the thrill of wildlife encounters in the heart of the Serengeti, renowned for its rich predator population, while also exploring the unique geological features of the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Your journey begins with a stay at the Lake Manyara Kilimamoja Lodge, a stunning hilltop retreat offering expansive views and modern comforts. Enjoy hearty buffet breakfasts and polished plated dinners, with the option for flexible picnic meals. The lodge features large, view-facing suites equipped with deep soaking tubs and expansive decks, perfect for unwinding after a day of adventure. The striking infinity pool and resort-style terrace create an inviting atmosphere for relaxation.
As you venture into the Central Serengeti, you'll stay at the Nyikani Tented Camp Serengeti, a mid-range permanent tented camp that combines authenticity with comfort. Here, hearty communal meals foster a social atmosphere, and the canvas tents provide a cozy retreat with en-suite bathrooms. This camp's prime location ensures reliable sightings of the Serengeti's iconic wildlife, making it an excellent choice for families and couples alike.
Access to both parks is convenient, with the Lake Manyara Gate just a short drive away and the Ngorongoro Crater easily reachable for a day of exploration. This itinerary is ideal for first-time visitors looking to experience the highlights of Tanzania's wildlife in a short time frame. Immerse yourself in the breathtaking landscapes and vibrant ecosystems of the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti, where unforgettable memories await.
