3-Day Upper Mid-Range Tarangire Ngorongoro Safari with Ngorongoro Coffee Lodge
Why this Package
Photographers get crater light and baobab silhouettes in a tight 3-Day safari tour window. Experience the stunning landscapes of Tarangire and the iconic Ngorongoro Crater while enjoying the comforts of the Ngorongoro Coffee Lodge. Nestled among Karatu’s coffee estates, this upper mid-range lodge offers generous cottages, a refreshing pool, and a small spa for relaxation after your daily adventures.
Your days will begin with early hot and cold breakfasts, followed by generous picnic lunches that allow you to maximize your time in the parks. Dinners feature a delightful mix of international staples and local produce, with estate coffee being a daily highlight. The cottage-style rooms come equipped with fireplaces, verandas, and en-suite bathrooms, ensuring a cozy retreat after a day of exploration.
With a short drive of approximately 25–30 minutes to the Ngorongoro Gate, you can plan dawn departures to catch the best wildlife activity. The Tarangire Kati Kati Tented Camp offers a different experience, allowing you to sleep close to the wildlife, with simple yet comfortable Meru tents. Enjoy hearty meals and the social atmosphere of the camp, perfect for those who want to immerse themselves in the bush.
Both lodges provide excellent access to the parks, making this safari ideal for first-timers or those combining their adventure with a trip to Zanzibar or a trek up Mount Kilimanjaro. This 3-day itinerary offers a perfect balance of wildlife viewing and relaxation, ensuring you leave with unforgettable memories of Tanzania's natural beauty.
Mix of mid-range and upper mid-range Tanzania Safari
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.
