Why this Package

Caldera to kopjes to river country—this 5-day safari tour takes you through the North Serengeti, Central Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. Experience the thrill of witnessing the Great Migration while enjoying the comforts of luxury accommodations. Begin your adventure at Mara Under Canvas, a seasonal camp that offers a unique perspective on the migration with plush beds and attentive service. Here, you will be ideally positioned to observe the dramatic river crossings, with guides ensuring you are at the right spot at the right time.

Your journey continues to the Nyota Luxury Tented Camp in Central Serengeti, where you can indulge in fine dining with plated breakfasts and three-course dinners. The luxury canvas tents provide a cozy retreat after exhilarating game drives, featuring en-suite bathrooms and verandas that invite you to soak in the stunning surroundings. The Central Serengeti is renowned for its predator-rich valleys, ensuring thrilling wildlife encounters.

Finally, you will visit the Kitela Lodge near Ngorongoro, an elegant hideaway set amidst lush gardens and coffee fields. Here, you can enjoy unhurried dinners crafted from local produce and relax in cottage-style suites with fireplaces and king beds. The proximity to the Ngorongoro Crater allows for early morning departures, maximizing your time in this UNESCO World Heritage site, famous for its Big 5 sightings.

This luxury safari is perfect for both first-time visitors and seasoned travelers looking to deepen their connection with Tanzania's incredible wildlife. With multiple nights in each location, you will have ample time to explore and appreciate the diverse ecosystems, from the vast plains of the Serengeti to the lush highlands of Ngorongoro.

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.
