3-Day Upper Mid-Range Serengeti Tour with Bougainvillea Lodge
Why this Package
A crisp 3-Day safari tour plan that trades park count for payoff at two proven locations: Central Serengeti and Ngorongoro. This journey is perfect for first-time visitors eager to experience the breathtaking wildlife and landscapes of Tanzania. You'll enjoy the comforts of the Bougainvillea Safari Lodge in Karatu, which provides a dependable base with simple yet comfortable accommodations. The lodge is known for its hearty buffet-style meals, featuring packed lunches and communal dinners that cater to various dietary preferences.
During your stay, unwind in cottage-style rooms equipped with en-suite bathrooms and verandas, allowing you to relax after a day of adventure. The lodge's location offers convenient access to both the Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara, making it an ideal choice for those wanting to explore these stunning areas without staying directly on the crater rim.
In the Central Serengeti, you'll experience the thrill of wildlife viewing at KumbuKumbu Tented Camp, where authentic tented accommodations provide a unique safari experience. Here, you can enjoy early morning game drives, with meals that include hearty stews and picnic breakfasts, all while surrounded by the sounds of the African bush. The camp's proximity to Seronera ensures you won't miss out on the action of the Serengeti's prime game loops.
With one night in each location, this itinerary allows you to immerse yourself in the diverse ecosystems and wildlife of Tanzania, making it a memorable adventure for both couples and families. Experience the magic of the Ngorongoro Crater and the iconic landscapes of the Serengeti while enjoying the comforts of well-appointed lodges.

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.
