4-Day Mid-Range Serengeti Safari with Hippo Trails Camp
Why this Package
Two distinct looks in this 4-Day safari tour: Central Serengeti and West Serengeti. Experience the thrill of wildlife encounters in open cat country and the lush riverine corridors that define these regions. Staying at Hippo Trails Camp in the Central Serengeti, you'll enjoy a mid-range tented camp experience that offers both comfort and immersion in nature. The camp's prime location near the Seronera River Valley provides exceptional access to big cats and hippos, enhancing your chances of witnessing spectacular wildlife moments.
Meals at the camp are hearty and filling, featuring early teas, picnic breakfasts, packed lunches, and communal dinners that foster a sense of camaraderie among guests. Your accommodation consists of Meru-style tents equipped with comfortable beds, mosquito nets, and en-suite bathrooms, including flush toilets and bucket showers. The camp also features a mess tent, a cozy fire pit, and solar/generator lighting, ensuring a rustic yet functional stay.
Access to the camp is convenient, with the Seronera Airstrip just a short 15–25 minute drive away. This allows you to maximize your time in the park, especially for those early morning and late afternoon game drives when predators are most active. For those looking to explore more of Tanzania, consider adding a visit to the Ngorongoro Crater or the stunning landscapes of Tarangire National Park. This safari is perfect for first-timers or those combining their adventure with a trek up Mount Kilimanjaro or a relaxing beach escape in Zanzibar.
Mid-Range Tanzania Safari
Book with the Right Tour Operator
