4-Day Upper Mid-Range Serengeti Safari with Arukore Simba Camp
Why this Package
Crater Big 5, Seronera cats and northern hills in one 4-Day safari tour sweep—balanced and ambitious. Experience the stunning landscapes of Central Serengeti, the rich wildlife of North Serengeti, and the breathtaking views of the Ngorongoro Crater. This thoughtfully crafted itinerary combines the comforts of an upper mid-range tented lodge with the thrill of bush flights from Arusha, ensuring you maximize your time in these iconic locations.
Your stay at Arukore Simba Camp in the Central Serengeti offers a unique blend of comfort and rustic charm. Enjoy delicious meals featuring local flavors and international cuisine, including early tea/coffee, picnic breakfasts, and plated three-course dinners. The camp's canvas tents come equipped with king or twin beds, en-suite bathrooms, and private verandas, allowing you to unwind while soaking in the natural beauty around you.
After your adventures in the Serengeti, you will head to Farmhouse Valley Adventure on the outskirts of Karatu. This mid-range lodge is styled in the vein of Karatu’s plantation-inspired lodges, providing spacious chalet-style rooms with en-suite bathrooms and stunning garden views. The lodge features a swimming pool and a main restaurant with a large terrace, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploration.
Access to the parks is convenient, with Seronera Airstrip just a short drive from your camp and the Ngorongoro gate within easy reach from your lodge. This itinerary is ideal for first-time visitors eager to explore Tanzania's diverse wildlife and landscapes while enjoying a comfortable stay.
For those interested in the Ngorongoro Crater and its Big 5, or the magnificent sights of the Serengeti, this tour provides an excellent balance of adventure and relaxation.
Mix of mid-range and upper 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.
