4-Day Mid-Range Serengeti Tour with Africa Safari
Why this Package
Keep logistics simple: embark on a 4-day safari adventure linking the stunning Central Serengeti and the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater. This journey is perfect for first-time visitors eager to explore Tanzania's iconic landscapes while enjoying the comforts of a mid-range lodge.
Your stay begins at the Africa Safari Serengeti Ikoma, a charming lodge-style camp located on the border of the Western Serengeti. This lodge offers a blend of affordability and proximity to vital migration routes, especially during peak seasons. Guests can indulge in hearty buffet breakfasts, picnic lunches for game drives, and delightful dinners featuring local and international cuisine.
Accommodations include thatched safari rooms and tents equipped with en-suite bathrooms, mosquito nets, and private verandas, allowing you to unwind while soaking in the serene surroundings. The lodge also features a pool, lounge, and restaurant, ensuring a comfortable stay after a day of exploration.
Access to the park is convenient, with the Ikoma Gate just a short drive away. This setting allows for unique experiences such as night drives and walking safaris, activities not permitted inside the Serengeti National Park.
Next, you will head to Foresight Eco Lodge & Safari in Karatu, a budget-friendly base designed with sustainability in mind. Here, you can enjoy simple yet delicious home-cooked meals, featuring local Tanzanian dishes and fresh garden vegetables. The rustic accommodations include spacious tents and cottages, all designed to provide comfort while minimizing environmental impact.
While staying at Foresight, you will have easy access to the Ngorongoro Crater, with a short drive to the gate each morning. This ensures you arrive early enough to witness the prime predator activity on the crater floor. The lodge's community-focused ethos enhances your experience, offering a deeper connection to the local culture.
With this itinerary, you will not only witness the incredible wildlife of the Serengeti, known for its great migration routes and big cats, but also experience the rich biodiversity of the Ngorongoro Crater, famous for its Big 5 sightings. This safari package is ideal for those combining their adventure with a visit to Zanzibar or a trek up Mount Kilimanjaro.

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.
