4-Day Upper Mid-Range Serengeti and Ngorongoro Safari with Serengeti Lake Lodge
Why this Package
Two heavyweights in this 4-day safari tour: the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage site teeming with wildlife, and the Central Serengeti, renowned for its big cats and breathtaking landscapes. Experience the best of both worlds while enjoying the comforts of a mix of upper mid-range and luxury lodges.
Your journey begins at the Ngorongoro Coffee Lodge, nestled among Karatu’s coffee estates. This upper mid-range lodge offers generous cottages with fireplaces and en-suite bathrooms, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration. Meals here include early hot breakfasts, picnic lunches for your full-day drives, and delightful dinners featuring local produce and estate coffee.
After your stay in Ngorongoro, you’ll fly to the Serengeti Lake Magadi Lodge, a luxury lodge that provides polished amenities and stunning lakeside scenery. This lodge is ideal for families or couples seeking comfort without stepping into the premium tier. Enjoy buffet-style breakfasts, picnic lunches, and a mix of Swahili and international dishes for dinner, all while taking in the tranquil views from your private veranda.
With a night in each location, you’ll have ample opportunity to immerse yourself in the rich wildlife of both parks. The Ngorongoro Crater is famous for its Big 5 sightings, while the Central Serengeti is a prime spot for witnessing the Great Migration and the majestic presence of lions. This itinerary is perfect for first-time visitors or those combining their safari with a trip to Zanzibar or a Kilimanjaro trek.
Don’t miss the chance to watch the sunrise over the Serengeti plains, a moment that will leave you in awe of nature’s beauty. This 4-day safari promises an unforgettable experience filled with adventure, comfort, and the thrill of wildlife encounters.

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.
