3 Days Tanzania Lodge Safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro

You can easily include a sunrise hot air balloon flight as part of your Serengeti and Ngorongoro stay. This extra activity takes place early in the morning before your scheduled game drive begins. It is a fantastic way to see the plains from a unique perspective during your three-day lodge-based trip.

The lodges selected for this journey offer comfortable beds, private bathrooms with hot showers, and often have swimming pools or lounge areas. Most properties provide spectacular views of the surrounding wilderness directly from your room balcony. You will also enjoy full-board meals featuring both local Tanzanian flavors and international cuisine

To make the most of your time, we start early from Arusha to reach the Serengeti by the first afternoon. The route involves driving through the scenic Ngorongoro highlands which serves as a game drive in itself. Every hour is carefully planned to ensure you spend more time watching wildlife and less time on the road.

We offer various tiers of lodging ranging from comfortable mid-range options to high-end luxury retreats. If you have a specific lodge in mind or want to mix different styles of accommodation, we can certainly adjust the package to fit your preferences. Simply let us know your budget and we will tailor the Serengeti and Ngorongoro lodge expedition accordingly

While nature is unpredictable, this itinerary visits the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti which are the best spots to find these animals. The crater is particularly famous for its resident black rhino population and high density of lions. Our expert guides are highly skilled at tracking leopards, elephants, and buffaloes to give you the best possible viewing chances.

All meals are included on a full-board basis, starting with lunch on the first day and ending with a picnic lunch on the last day. Breakfasts and dinners are usually served at the lodge as buffet or set menus, while lunches are often packed for the bush. We can easily accommodate vegetarian, vegan, or other dietary requirements if you notify us during booking.

You can certainly add a cultural visit to a Maasai boma located near the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. This activity allows you to learn about traditional customs, see their homes, and experience local dances first-hand. It is a great way to add a human element to your wildlife focused safari.

We recommend packing light layers of clothing because temperatures can change quickly between the early morning and the heat of the afternoon. A warm jacket is essential for the chilly evenings on the crater rim. Do not forget a good pair of binoculars, a camera with extra batteries, and sun protection like a hat and sunscreen.

We use specially modified 4x4 Land Cruisers that are designed to handle the rough Tanzanian terrain comfortably. These vehicles feature pop-up roofs that provide an unobstructed 360-degree view for photography and wildlife spotting. Each car is equipped with a radio for communication and charging ports to keep your devices powered up.

This package is very family-friendly because the lodges provide a safe and comfortable environment for children of all ages. The driving distances are manageable, and the excitement of seeing wild animals keeps younger travelers engaged. We can also provide child-sized meals and larger family rooms at most of our lodge partners.
