The atmosphere is quiet and more rustic, perfect for those looking to connect with nature.

From Karatu Simba Lodge, you will easily access Tarangire National Park, known for its massive elephant herds and iconic baobabs. After a day of exploration, you will head to Serengeti Pure Tented Camp in the Central Serengeti, where you can immerse yourself in the heart of wildlife action. This mid-range camp offers a no-frills experience that prioritizes wildlife immersion, with simple yet comfortable Meru-style tents.

Meals at the camp are filling, featuring early teas, picnic breakfasts, and communal dinners, allowing you to share stories of the day’s adventures with fellow travelers. The camp’s central location ensures you are close to the wildlife concentrations, making it an ideal base for your game drives.

Your final night will be spent at Lake Manyara Kilimamoja Lodge, perched on the escarpment and offering breathtaking views. This lodge is designed for those who appreciate modern comforts, featuring spacious suites with expansive decks and an infinity pool. Enjoy buffet breakfasts and polished plated dinners while soaking in the stunning panoramas of Lake Manyara.

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.
