Experience the breathtaking landscapes of North Serengeti, Central Serengeti, and the iconic Ngorongoro Crater while enjoying the comforts of both mid-range and luxury lodges. Your adventure begins with a scenic flight from Zanzibar to the Serengeti, allowing you to maximize your wildlife encounters without the long drives.

Your stay at Mara Mara Tented Lodge in the North Serengeti offers a blend of luxury and adventure. Nestled near the Mara River, this lodge features spacious thatched tented suites with en-suite bathrooms, private verandas, and stunning views. Enjoy buffet breakfasts, picnic lunches for full days of exploration, and delightful dinners, all while soaking in the serene atmosphere. The lodge's proximity to the famed wildebeest river crossings enhances your chances of witnessing this spectacular migration.

Transitioning to the Central Serengeti, you will find comfort at Serengeti Simba Lodge. This mid-range lodge is designed for families and groups seeking solid amenities without luxury pricing. The thatched stone cottages provide cozy accommodations with en-suite bathrooms and private verandas, perfect for unwinding after a day of game drives. Meals are hearty and served buffet-style, ensuring you are well-fueled for your adventures.

Your journey culminates at Tloma Lodge near Ngorongoro, where the lush gardens and coffee plantation setting create a tranquil retreat. The lodge emphasizes farm-to-table dining, with fresh produce sourced from its own gardens. With comfortable chalet-style rooms and a peaceful ambiance, it’s an ideal spot to relax before descending into the Ngorongoro Crater for a day of wildlife viewing.

This 5-day safari is perfect for both first-timers and seasoned travelers looking to explore Tanzania's diverse ecosystems. With multiple nights in each park, you’ll have ample opportunity to immerse yourself in the rich wildlife and stunning landscapes that define this incredible destination.

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.
