Why this Package
For first safaris, this 3-Day tour through the Central Serengeti and Ngorongoro offers a comprehensive experience, showcasing both the stunning landscapes and rich wildlife.

The lodge features large, view-facing suites equipped with deep soaking tubs and fireplaces, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration.
As you venture into the Central Serengeti, you'll stay at Thorntree Camp, a mid-range tented camp that provides a functional yet comfortable experience.

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.
