Why this Package

See the big tuskers of Tarangire, explore the lion-filled grasslands of Central Serengeti, and conclude your adventure among the flamingos of Lake Manyara. This 4-day safari offers a balanced mix of comfort and affordability, perfect for first-time visitors eager to experience Tanzania's diverse wildlife.

Your journey begins in Tarangire National Park, renowned for its large herds of elephants and iconic baobab trees. Here, you'll stay at Tanzania Bush Camps, where the mobile-style accommodations provide a unique opportunity to be close to the action during migration months. Enjoy hearty meals, including early teas and communal dinners, while staying in comfortable Meru-style tents equipped with en-suite bathrooms.

Next, venture into the Central Serengeti, where the vast plains are alive with the sounds of nature. The proximity of your camp allows for easy access to the best wildlife viewing spots. As you settle into the rhythm of the bush, you will appreciate the authentic atmosphere and the thrill of being in the heart of the action.

Finally, your safari takes you to Lake Manyara, famous for its stunning landscapes and diverse birdlife. After a day of exploration, unwind at Country Lodge Karatu, a dependable mid-range option that offers clean rooms and a refreshing pool. The lodge's inviting atmosphere is perfect for families and groups, featuring hearty buffet meals that showcase both international and Tanzanian cuisine.

With this itinerary, you’ll not only witness the majestic wildlife of Tanzania but also enjoy the comfort and warmth of well-chosen lodges. This safari is ideal for those combining their adventure with a trek up Mount Kilimanjaro or a relaxing beach escape in Zanzibar.

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.
