Meals here are hearty, with picnic breakfasts and communal dinners that foster a sense of camaraderie among guests. The Meru-style tents feature comfortable beds and en-suite bathrooms, ensuring a cozy stay.

Your journey continues to the West Serengeti, where the landscapes shift dramatically, offering a different light and textures that enhance your wildlife viewing.

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.
