Why this Package

A timing-sensitive 5-Day safari tour: explore the breathtaking landscapes of North Serengeti, Central Serengeti, and the iconic Ngorongoro while enjoying the comforts of a mid-range tented camp. This itinerary is perfect for travelers seeking a balance between adventure and comfort, with bush flights from Arusha to maximize your time in the parks.

Your journey begins in the Central Serengeti at Embalakai Tented Camp, where you’ll experience a rustic bush atmosphere close to the Seronera Valley. Here, hearty meals are served, including picnic breakfasts and communal dinners that focus on safari staples. The Meru-style tents offer cozy beds, en-suite bathrooms, and verandas with camp chairs, providing a comfortable base for your wildlife adventures. The camp's location ensures excellent opportunities for predator sightings during dawn and dusk game drives.

Next, you’ll head to the North Serengeti and stay at Sero Tented Camp Kogatende. This seasonal camp is ideally located near the Mara River, allowing you to witness the spectacular Great Wildebeest Migration and river crossings. Enjoy simple yet filling meals that fuel your long days of exploration. The Meru tents come equipped with proper beds and en-suite facilities, making your stay functional and sociable.

Finally, your adventure concludes at KanKari Lodge in Karatu, a peaceful retreat on the outskirts of town. This lodge offers a more personal experience, with home-cooked meals featuring fresh local ingredients. The modestly furnished en-suite rooms provide a cozy atmosphere, and the garden setting offers stunning views across the Karatu highlands. With just a short drive to the Ngorongoro Crater, you’ll have the chance to descend into this UNESCO World Heritage Site for incredible wildlife sightings.

With multiple nights in each area, you’ll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the unique ecosystems of Tanzania, ensuring a richer and more fulfilling safari experience. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveler, this tour promises unforgettable moments in the heart of Africa.

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.
