Why this Package

Crater rhino chances and Serengeti lions bracket Tarangire elephants in this 4-day safari tour, where you will explore the stunning landscapes of Tarangire, the iconic Central Serengeti, and the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater. This journey combines the comforts of mid-range and luxury accommodations, ensuring a memorable experience.

Your adventure begins at Tarangire Ndovu Tented Lodge, a classic luxury tented camp that offers quick access to Tarangire’s northern river loops. Here, you can wake to the sounds of birdsong and enjoy hearty meals, including early breakfasts and packed picnics for your game drives. The Meru-style tents provide a cozy atmosphere with en-suite bathrooms and private verandas, perfect for soaking in the natural beauty surrounding you.

Next, you will head to the Central Serengeti and stay at Serengeti Simba Lodge. This mid-range lodge-style property is designed for travelers who appreciate solid structures and value-driven pricing. You will enjoy buffet-style meals featuring both Swahili and international dishes, while the thatched stone cottages offer comfortable en-suite bathrooms and private verandas. Its central location allows for easy access to the rich wildlife of the Seronera Valley, known for its lion and leopard populations.

Your final night will be spent at Embalakai Tented Camp Ngorongoro, nestled in the acacia woodland near the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater. This camp provides an intimate bush-camp feel, with full-board meals served in a communal setting, allowing you to share stories around the campfire. The tents are equipped with en-suite bathrooms and private verandas, ensuring a cozy retreat after a day of exploration. With its prime location, you can be among the first to descend into the crater at dawn, maximizing your chances of spotting the Big Five.

This safari is ideal for first-time visitors eager to experience the diverse wildlife of Tanzania, from the majestic elephants of Tarangire to the stunning landscapes of the Ngorongoro Crater. Prepare for an unforgettable journey filled with breathtaking views and incredible wildlife encounters.

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.
