For first safaris, this 3-Day safari tour through the Central Serengeti and Ngorongoro offers a comprehensive experience—density plus predators. Begin your adventure at Jackals Lair Tented Camp, nestled in the heart of the Central Serengeti (Seronera), where you can enjoy excellent game viewing year-round. This upper mid-range camp allows you to hit the tracks just minutes after sunrise, trading marble lobbies for authentic canvas comfort and attentive hosting.

Meals at Jackals Lair include pre-dawn coffee and light bites, hearty hot breakfasts either in camp or as picnic breakfasts out on the plains, and delicious dinners featuring grilled mains and seasonal vegetables, with vegetarian options available upon request. The Meru-style tents are thoughtfully designed with proper beds, en-suite bathrooms, and a cozy mess tent that invites relaxation after a day of exploration.

Your journey continues to the Sanctuary Ngorongoro Crater Camp, where elegant tented hospitality meets a prime location near the crater rim. Here, refined dining awaits, with early breakfasts and unhurried dinners complemented by a curated wine list. Spacious canvas tents with king beds and stylish en-suite bathrooms ensure a luxurious stay.

Access to the crater is seamless, allowing you to be among the first vehicles at dawn, maximizing your chances of spotting the Big 5 in the Ngorongoro Crater. The strategic positioning of both camps enhances your safari experience, making it easy to return for lunch and rest before heading out again in the afternoon.

With a mix of adventure and comfort, this safari is perfect for first-time travelers or those looking to combine their experience with a relaxing stay in Zanzibar. The stunning landscapes, diverse wildlife, and the thrill of the chase make this an unforgettable journey.
