A crisp 4-Day safari tour plan that trades park count for payoff at two proven locations: the Central Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Experience the thrill of wildlife encounters while enjoying the comforts of a mid-range tented camp and a scenic lodge. Start your adventure in the heart of the Serengeti, where the proximity to the Seronera River Valley ensures prime viewing of big cats and hippos. At Hippo Trails Camp, indulge in hearty meals that include early teas, picnic breakfasts, and communal dinners, all set against the backdrop of the African wilderness.

Your stay in Meru-style tents offers a rustic yet functional experience, complete with en-suite bathrooms and a cozy mess tent for evening gatherings. This immersive experience allows you to take advantage of dawn and dusk game drives, maximizing your chances of spotting the elusive predators in action.

Transitioning to the Ngorongoro Marera Mountain View Lodge, you’ll find a value-minded mid-range retreat nestled on a breezy slope above Karatu. Here, enjoy home-style cooking that complements your safari rhythms, with early breakfasts and picnic hampers prepared from fresh local produce. The spacious cottage rooms, featuring fireplaces and verandas, provide a welcoming atmosphere to unwind after a day of exploration.

With easy access to both Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara, this lodge is perfectly situated for alternating park visits, ensuring you experience the diverse wildlife and stunning landscapes of Tanzania. This safari is ideal for first-timers or those looking to combine their adventure with a relaxing stay in Zanzibar.
