4-Day Mid-Range Serengeti and Ngorongoro Safari with Hippo Trails Camp
Why this Package
Split a compact 4-Day safari tour between the Central Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater for a rich wildlife experience. This journey offers a perfect blend of predator-rich landscapes and the stunning geological features of the crater floor. Begin your adventure at Hippo Trails Camp in the Central Serengeti, where you’ll enjoy hearty meals including early teas and picnic breakfasts, all while being immersed in the heart of the park. The camp’s location near the Seronera River Valley provides prime access to big cats and hippos, ensuring memorable wildlife encounters.
After your stay in the Serengeti, you’ll head to KanKari Lodge on the outskirts of Karatu. This mid-range property is ideal for those seeking a peaceful garden retreat before exploring the Ngorongoro Crater. With a smaller, more personal atmosphere, KanKari Lodge offers a homely experience, complete with fresh local meals served on a full-board basis. The en-suite rooms feature mosquito nets and private verandas, allowing you to unwind in comfort after your daily adventures.
Access to both parks is convenient, with Hippo Trails Camp just a short drive from the Seronera Airstrip, and KanKari Lodge located only 25–30 minutes from the Ngorongoro gate, making it easy to catch the early morning light for spectacular wildlife sightings. This safari is perfect for first-time visitors or those looking to combine their adventure with a relaxing stay in Zanzibar. Experience the thrill of the Ngorongoro Crater and the vastness of the Serengeti, all while enjoying the comforts of mid-range accommodations.
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.
