4-Day Luxury Tarangire Ngorongoro Safari with Elephant Springs Camp
Why this Package
Crater rhino prospects pair with dry-season elephant gatherings in this 4-Day safari tour through Tarangire and Ngorongoro. Experience the thrill of wildlife encounters while enjoying the comforts of a luxury tented camp. Begin your adventure at Tarangire Elephant Springs Camp, where you’ll find a blend of boutique design and the authentic atmosphere of a tented safari. Nestled near the Tarangire River, this camp is perfectly positioned to witness the impressive elephant herds that gather during the dry season.
Each day starts with early teas and coffees, setting the stage for exciting dawn drives. Enjoy picnic breakfasts under the shade of baobabs, followed by light buffet lunches and plated dinners that showcase both international and Swahili flavors. The stylish canvas tents offer en-suite bathrooms, king beds, and private verandas with stunning views, ensuring a luxurious stay.
Your journey continues to the Ngorongoro Crater, where you can marvel at the Big 5 and the breathtaking landscapes. Staying at Marera Valley Lodge in Karatu provides a cozy retreat with a rustic-chic atmosphere. The lodge features comfortable cottages with en-suite bathrooms, fireplaces, and private verandas, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration.
Meals at Marera are hearty and satisfying, with early breakfasts for crater departures and dinners served on the veranda overlooking the valley. The lodge's intimate setting, combined with its access to the Ngorongoro gate, makes it an excellent choice for those looking to experience the best of both parks.
With a mix of adventure and relaxation, this safari is ideal for first-time travelers or those looking to combine their trip with a visit to Zanzibar or a trek up Mount Kilimanjaro. Witness the beauty of Tanzania's wildlife and landscapes in a way that will leave you with lasting memories.

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.
