Why this Package
Crater dawns and Serengeti sunsets—4-Day safari tour arranged for golden hours at both. Experience the breathtaking landscapes of the Ngorongoro Crater and the wildlife-rich Central Serengeti while enjoying the comforts of well-appointed lodges. Your adventure begins in Arusha, where you will fly to the Serengeti, maximizing your time on game drives.
Your stay at Kati Kati Tented Camp in the Central Serengeti offers a blend of simplicity and comfort, ensuring you are well-positioned for early morning game drives. Enjoy hearty meals that include picnic breakfasts and communal dinners, allowing you to share stories of the day’s adventures. The camp features simple yet cozy Meru-style tents equipped with en-suite bathrooms, providing a functional base for your safari.
After exploring the Serengeti, you will head to the Ngorongoro Crater for an unforgettable day of wildlife viewing. The crater is home to the Big Five, including elephants, lions, and rhinos, making it a prime location for spotting these majestic animals. Your accommodation at Ikumbi Lodge in Karatu offers a more polished experience compared to other budget options, with modern rooms that feature private bathrooms and comfortable amenities. The lodge's full-board dining includes local and international dishes, ensuring you are well-fed for your safari adventures.
With this itinerary, you will not only witness the stunning wildlife of Tanzania but also enjoy the comfort of well-located lodges that enhance your overall experience. This safari is perfect for first-timers or those looking to combine their adventure with a relaxing stay in Zanzibar or a trek up Mount Kilimanjaro.
Mix of budget and 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.
