Why this Package
Elephant corridors meet crater mornings and Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire in a neat 5-day safari tour loop. Experience the thrill of wildlife encounters while staying at a mix of comfortable lodges that balance affordability with charm.
Your journey begins at Ngorongoro Forest Tented Lodge, a mid-range tented lodge nestled in the forested highlands near Karatu. Here, you'll enjoy hearty meals served on a full-board basis, with early breakfasts and picnic lunches prepared for your adventures. The lodge features permanent tents on raised platforms, complete with en-suite bathrooms and private verandas, allowing you to immerse yourself in nature while enjoying essential comforts.
Next, venture into the heart of the Serengeti at the Serengeti Classic View Camp. This mid-range tented camp offers a no-frills approach to safari living, ensuring you’re right in the midst of the action. Meals are simple yet satisfying, with communal dining that fosters a friendly atmosphere. The basic canvas tents provide a rustic experience, equipped with en-suite bathrooms and solar lighting, perfect for those who appreciate the wild.
Finally, unwind at Tanzanice Farm Lodge, where you can savor home-cooked meals made from fresh ingredients sourced directly from the farm. The intimate setting offers a cozy atmosphere, with en-suite rooms that overlook lush coffee fields. Although it takes a bit longer to reach the Ngorongoro gate from here, the personal hosting and authentic experience make it worthwhile.
With this itinerary, you’ll have the opportunity to explore the stunning landscapes and diverse wildlife of Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and the Serengeti, making it an ideal choice for both first-time visitors and seasoned safari-goers. Each park offers unique experiences, from the iconic baobabs of Tarangire National Park to the breathtaking views of the Ngorongoro Crater. Don't miss the chance to witness the Great Migration and spot the Big Five in their natural habitat.
Mix of budget and mid-range Tanzania Safari
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.
