Mid-Range Lodging Safari
4 DAYS / 3 NIGHTS MID-RANGE LODGING SAFARI
SAFARI ITINERARY
Experience the highlights of Tanzania's northern circuit on this unforgettable 4-day mid-range safari. Journey through the endless plains of the Serengeti, home to the big cats and magnificent wildlife, before exploring the world-renowned Ngorongoro Crater floor, one of the only places on earth where you can spot all the Big Five at once.
Day 1: Serengeti National Park
Have an early breakfast before you drive to the Serengeti’s endless plains for afternoon and sunset game drives. You will make your way around the southern edge of the crater rim, spotting the occasional hyena, elephant, or African buffalo along the way. By late morning, you will arrive at the famed Serengeti National Park. The plains seem endless from this vantage point.
Stop to enjoy your picnic lunch at Naabi Hill before meandering through the wildlife-rich central Serengeti. Later in the evening at your camp, you will settle in to your accommodation before joining other travelers in the camp dining area for some palate teasers in anticipation of a scrumptious meal this evening. Afterwards, gather round the campfire before heading off to bed. Relax in your comfortable surroundings tonight as you are lulled to sleep by the sounds of the Serengeti plains.

You will definitely see other safari goers. Don’t let that distract you from the beauty of the place or from the fact that this remains one of the only places on earth where you may see all of the big five at once: lion, leopard, “bull elephant”, African buffalo, and black rhino.
To maximize your time on the crater floor, you will enjoy a special boxed lunch at a scenic picnic spot. Your journey will take you throughout this tremendous landscape that is constantly changing as animals move to and fro in search of pasture, water, or prey. Later in the evening, you will drive to the lodge for dinner and overnight.
