Balance your 4-Day safari tour: experience the breathtaking Central Serengeti and the iconic Ngorongoro Crater while enjoying the comforts of mid-range accommodations. This itinerary is perfect for first-time safari-goers and those looking to combine their adventure with a relaxing stay in Zanzibar.

Your journey begins in the Central Serengeti, where you'll stay at the Osero Serengeti Tented Camp. This mid-range camp is designed for those seeking affordability without compromising on wildlife experiences. Enjoy hearty meals including early teas and communal dinners, all while surrounded by the stunning landscapes of the Serengeti. The Meru-style canvas tents provide a rustic yet comfortable atmosphere, complete with en-suite bathrooms and solar lighting. With its central location, you’ll have year-round access to predators and resident herds, making it an ideal base for your safari adventures.

After your time in the Serengeti, you’ll head to the Ngorongoro Crater for a day of exploration. Staying at Tanzanice Farm Lodge, a charming family-run property, you’ll enjoy a homely atmosphere with personal hosting. The lodge offers delicious home-cooked meals, often featuring ingredients sourced directly from the farm. While it takes a bit longer to reach the crater gate, the experience of descending into the crater is well worth it, providing ample opportunities for wildlife sightings, including the Big Five.
