Book with the Right Tour Operator
You don’t need just any safari company — you need the right one.
Out of 4,000+ safari companies across East Africa, each excels at something different — some focus on budget safaris, others on mid-range or luxury trips. But a budget operator can’t deliver a seamless high-end safari — and a luxury specialist won’t fit a tighter budget.
NoMiddleman Tours matches you directly with 3–4 trusted local experts — carefully matched to your travel style and expectations. They’re chosen for their reliability, experience, and fair direct pricing, so you get the right team for your safari — not just the first one you find.

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.
