3-Day Mid-Range Serengeti Tour with Martina's Retreat
Why this Package
Crater dawns and Serengeti sunsets—experience a 3-day safari through the Central Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater while enjoying the comforts of mid-range accommodations. This itinerary is perfect for first-time visitors eager to witness the stunning landscapes and diverse wildlife of Tanzania. Your journey begins in Zanzibar, where you'll be transported to the heart of the action.
During your stay, you'll enjoy the rustic charm of Martina’s Retreat in Karatu. This budget-friendly lodge offers a welcoming atmosphere with simple yet comfortable rooms equipped with en-suite bathrooms, mosquito nets, and verandas overlooking the garden. Meals feature hearty Tanzanian staples, including rice, beans, and meat stews, ensuring you are well-fueled for your adventures.
On your safari, you'll spend a night in the Central Serengeti at the Serengeti Classic View Camp. This mid-range tented camp provides a unique experience right in the midst of wildlife action. The basic canvas tents come with en-suite bathrooms and a communal dining area, allowing you to share stories with fellow travelers while enjoying simple yet satisfying meals. The camp's location maximizes your game-viewing opportunities, making it an excellent choice for those keen on spotting the Big Five.
Access to both parks is convenient, with the Ngorongoro Gate just a short drive from your lodge, and the Seronera Airstrip only minutes away from your camp. This seamless transition between locations allows you to focus on what truly matters—immersing yourself in the breathtaking beauty of Tanzania's landscapes and wildlife.
Whether you're combining this safari with a trip to Zanzibar or simply seeking an unforgettable adventure, this 3-day journey offers a perfect blend of comfort and excitement.
