Your journey begins in Tarangire National Park, famous for its large elephant herds and stunning baobabs. After a day of game viewing, you'll retreat to Africa Safari Rift Valley, a mid-range lodge located just outside Karatu. Here, you can enjoy hearty meals, including buffet breakfasts and communal dinners, all served in a relaxed atmosphere. The lodge features a mix of safari-style tents and bungalow rooms, each equipped with en-suite bathrooms, ensuring a comfortable stay.

As you venture into the Central Serengeti, the heart of predator-rich territory, you'll stay at Thorntree Camp. This mid-range tented camp provides a functional yet cozy experience, with meals that are simple but filling, perfect for fueling your daily adventures. The Meru tents come with en-suite bathrooms, allowing you to unwind in comfort after a day of exploring.

Your safari continues to the West Serengeti, where you'll have the opportunity to witness the Great Wildebeest Migration during its peak season. Finally, you'll conclude your adventure at the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its diverse wildlife and stunning landscapes. Enjoy the breathtaking views and the chance to spot the Big Five during your crater tour.

This safari is ideal for first-time visitors looking to experience the best of Tanzania's wildlife and landscapes, making it a perfect complement to a Kilimanjaro trek or a relaxing beach getaway in Zanzibar. With a well-planned itinerary and comfortable lodgings, you can focus on the awe-inspiring sights and sounds of the African wilderness.

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.
