Families appreciate the pace—this 3-Day safari tour through Tarangire and Ngorongoro offers easy transfers and diverse experiences each day. Begin your adventure at Ikumbi Lodge, a comfortable base in Karatu that provides a blend of affordability and quality. Here, you can enjoy full-board dining featuring both international and local dishes, with early breakfasts and picnic lunches available for your safari excursions.
Ikumbi Lodge features 10 modern rooms and cottages, each equipped with private bathrooms and thoughtful decor that reflects local culture.

Mix of budget and 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.
