Why this Package

This route reveals the contrasts of northern Tanzania: Tarangire’s elephants, Central Serengeti’s vast predator stage, and Lake Manyara’s Rift Valley forests. Over four days, you will experience the rich diversity of wildlife and stunning landscapes while staying in a mix of comfortable lodges.

Your adventure begins in Tarangire National Park, where you can witness massive herds of elephants roaming among iconic baobab trees. After a day of exploration, you will retreat to the cozy Ngorongoro Marera Mountain View Lodge, a value-minded mid-range base offering hearty, home-style meals and spacious cottage rooms with stunning valley views. This lodge is perfectly situated for easy access to both Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara, allowing you to alternate parks effortlessly.

Next, you will journey to the Central Serengeti, where the Jackals Lair Tented Camp awaits. This upper mid-range camp provides an authentic canvas experience, allowing you to be on the tracks just minutes after sunrise. Enjoy pre-dawn coffee and hearty meals, including picnic lunches that keep you out on the loops for longer game drives. The Meru-style tents offer comfortable beds and en-suite bathrooms, ensuring a restful night after a day filled with wildlife encounters.

Finally, your safari will conclude at Lake Manyara, known for its tree-climbing lions and vibrant birdlife. Each park offers unique experiences, and staying multiple nights allows for deeper exploration and relaxation. This itinerary is ideal for first-time safari-goers or those looking to combine their adventure with a trip to Zanzibar or a climb of Mount Kilimanjaro.

With a blend of comfortable accommodations and diverse wildlife experiences, this safari promises to be an unforgettable journey through Tanzania's breathtaking landscapes.

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.
