Why this Package

A northern classic condensed into a 5-day safari tour: explore the stunning landscapes of Central Serengeti, the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, and the diverse wildlife of Tarangire. This mid-range safari offers a unique blend of comfort and adventure, ensuring you experience the best of Tanzania's wildlife while enjoying the cozy atmosphere of tented camps.

Your journey begins in Arusha, where you'll fly into the heart of the Serengeti, maximizing your time for game viewing. Spend a night at Serengeti Classic View Camp, a budget-friendly tented camp that places you right in the action. Here, you can witness the iconic wildlife of the Serengeti, including lions and elephants, while enjoying hearty meals and basic yet comfortable accommodations.

Next, you'll visit the Ngorongoro Crater, staying at Embalakai Tented Camp. Nestled in acacia woodlands, this camp provides an intimate bush experience with quick access to the crater floor. The meals are served in a communal setting, fostering a sense of camaraderie among guests. Each tent features a private veranda, allowing you to soak in the serene atmosphere of the forest while enjoying the comforts of en-suite bathrooms and hot bucket showers.

Finally, your adventure takes you to Tarangire National Park, known for its massive elephant herds and iconic baobab trees. Here, you can relish the natural beauty and wildlife diversity before returning to Arusha. This itinerary is perfect for both first-time safari-goers and seasoned travelers looking to explore Tanzania's rich landscapes and wildlife.

With well-planned logistics, including early breakfasts and picnic lunches, you will make the most of your time in these incredible parks. Experience the thrill of game drives, witness the stunning sunrises over the savannah, and create unforgettable memories 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.
