3-Day Upper Mid-Range Ngorongoro and Tarangire Safari with Lemala
Why this Package
A succinct 3-Day safari tour: explore the stunning landscapes of Tarangire and the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater while enjoying the comforts of a luxury tented camp. Begin your adventure at Lemala Ngorongoro Tented Camp, a rim-side retreat that offers early access to the crater, perfect for capturing the dawn predator activity. Guests appreciate the intimate hosting and the chance to unwind around the campfire after a day of wildlife viewing.
At Lemala, you can indulge in chef-led camp cuisine, featuring early breakfasts, delightful picnic hampers for your crater excursions, and convivial dinners under the stars. The canvas tents are thoughtfully designed with en-suite bathrooms, proper beds, and cozy winter-weight duvets, ensuring a comfortable stay amidst nature.
Your safari journey continues at Marera Valley Lodge, a charming base in Karatu that strikes a balance between comfort and affordability. With its rustic-chic atmosphere, Marera offers a relaxing countryside feel, complete with fireplaces in many rooms and a refreshing swimming pool. The lodge serves hearty meals, blending Tanzanian staples with international comfort food, perfect for fueling your adventures.
While staying in Karatu, you’ll have a short drive to the Ngorongoro gate, allowing you to catch the early morning wildlife activity. This combination of lodges offers a unique experience, allowing you to immerse yourself in the beauty of both parks while enjoying the comforts of mid-range and luxury accommodations. Don’t miss the chance to witness the incredible wildlife of Tarangire National Park, famous for its elephants and iconic baobabs, and the Ngorongoro Crater, known for its Big 5 sightings and stunning landscapes.
Mix of mid-range and luxury 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.
