A three-stop 5-Day safari tour: experience the stunning landscapes of Central Serengeti, the iconic Ngorongoro Crater, and the diverse wildlife of Tarangire. This journey combines the luxury of exclusive lodges with the thrill of personalized safari experiences, ensuring an unforgettable adventure.

Your stay begins at Crater’s Edge, a luxury lodge perched on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater. Here, you can enjoy breathtaking views and quick access to the crater floor for game drives. The lodge features spacious stone-and-timber suites with panoramic crater-facing decks, where you can unwind in comfort. Dining is a highlight, with multi-course gourmet meals that blend international fine dining with local Swahili influences, all enjoyed with the stunning backdrop of the crater.

Next, immerse yourself in the wild at Namiri Retreat by Asilia, located in the exclusive Namiri Plains. This intimate retreat offers personalized service and private vehicles for a tailored safari experience. Enjoy gourmet meals prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, served at your convenience, whether in the elegant dining tent or under the stars. Each luxurious tent features a king-size bed, en-suite bathroom, and a private deck with a plunge pool, perfect for relaxation after a day of wildlife viewing.

Finally, unwind at Ngorongoro Marera Mountain View Lodge, a value-minded mid-range base that offers a calm and scenic atmosphere. With hearty, home-style cooking and spacious cottage rooms, this lodge provides a welcoming retreat after your adventures. Its location allows for easy access to both Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara, making it practical for alternating park visits.

With this 5-day itinerary, you’ll have the opportunity to witness the incredible wildlife of Tanzania, including the Big Five, while enjoying the comforts of premium accommodations. Whether you're a seasoned traveler or a first-time safari-goer, this tour promises a rich and immersive experience in one of Africa's most stunning landscapes.

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.
