Why this Package

From elephants to rhino chances to big cats, this 4-day safari tour takes you through Tarangire, Central Serengeti, West Serengeti, and Ngorongoro, offering a diverse wildlife experience. Begin your adventure at Ikumbi Lodge in Karatu, a comfortable yet affordable base that provides hearty meals and a welcoming atmosphere. Enjoy full-board dining featuring local and international dishes, with early breakfasts and picnic lunches prepared for your safari excursions.

Your stay at Ikumbi Lodge includes modern rooms equipped with private bathrooms and beautiful views of lush gardens, ensuring a restful retreat after a day of exploration. The lodge's location allows for easy access to the Ngorongoro Crater, where you can witness the incredible biodiversity and perhaps spot the elusive Big Five.

Next, venture into Tarangire National Park, famous for its iconic baobabs and large elephant herds. Here, you will stay at Sangaiwe Tented Lodge, which offers a unique tented safari experience just outside the park gate. Enjoy buffet meals with a variety of options, and relax in permanent tents that feature en-suite bathrooms and verandas, perfect for soaking in the surrounding landscape.

Your journey continues to the Central Serengeti, where you will stay at Serengeti Wildlands Camp. This mid-range camp provides a simple yet comfortable setting, allowing you to maximize your wildlife viewing opportunities. With its proximity to Seronera, you can embark on early morning game drives to see lions, cheetahs, and more in their natural habitat.

Finally, conclude your safari with a visit to the stunning Ngorongoro Crater, where the rich wildlife and breathtaking scenery will leave you in awe. This 4-day itinerary is perfect for first-time visitors or those looking to combine their safari experience with a trip to Zanzibar or a climb of Mount Kilimanjaro.

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.
