4-Day Mid-Range Serengeti Safari with Embalakai Tented Camp
Why this Package
Central Serengeti anchors the sightings while the North Serengeti adds the big set pieces—fitted into this 4-day safari tour. Experience the thrill of wildlife encounters in the heart of the Serengeti, staying at two comfortable mid-range lodges that enhance your adventure. Begin your journey at the Embalakai Tented Camp in the Central Serengeti, where you’ll enjoy a rustic bush atmosphere close to the Seronera Valley. This camp is perfect for travelers seeking affordability and an authentic safari immersion, making it ideal for adventurous couples and groups.
At Embalakai, meals are hearty and simple, featuring early teas, picnic breakfasts, and communal plated dinners that focus on safari staples. Your accommodation includes Meru-style tents equipped with beds, nets, and en-suite bathrooms, providing a cozy yet rustic experience. With access to the Seronera Airstrip just 15–25 minutes away, you can maximize your time on game drives, which are renowned for predator sightings.
Next, head to the Nyikani Migration Camp Kogatende in the North Serengeti, open during the migration season from July to October. This seasonal camp offers a unique opportunity to witness the dramatic Mara River crossings, placing you right in the midst of the action. Meals here also include early teas, picnic breakfasts, and communal dinners, ensuring you are well-fueled for your daily adventures.
Your stay in seasonal canvas tents provides basic comforts with en-suite bathrooms and a shared mess tent, maintaining a rustic charm that enhances your safari experience. The camp is conveniently located near the Kogatende Airstrip, allowing for quick access to the Mara River crossings, minimizing transfer times during this unpredictable season.
This 4-day safari is perfect for first-time visitors looking to combine their adventure with a relaxing beach getaway in Zanzibar or those preparing for a trek up Mount Kilimanjaro. Embrace the beauty of the Serengeti and create unforgettable memories amidst its stunning landscapes and wildlife.
