Why this Package

Keep the driving purposeful: embark on a 5-day safari tour through Tarangire, Central Serengeti, and Ngorongoro for high-value hours. This adventure combines the comforts of mid-range lodges with the thrill of witnessing diverse wildlife in their natural habitats.

Your journey begins at the Burunge Tented Lodge, nestled in the Burunge Wildlife Management Area. Here, you can enjoy stunning views of the lake and the expansive skies, along with a relaxing atmosphere that includes a pool and sunset decks. The lodge offers hearty meals, with buffet breakfasts and picnic lunches to fuel your daily explorations, followed by delightful dinners under the stars.

As you venture into Tarangire National Park, renowned for its majestic elephants and iconic baobabs, you'll appreciate the lodge's strategic location, allowing for early morning game drives to catch the wildlife at their most active. The spacious tented rooms come equipped with en-suite bathrooms, mosquito nets, and fans, ensuring a comfortable stay.

Your next stop is the Central Serengeti, where you'll stay at Osinon Camps and Lodges. This mid-range camp provides affordable access to the heart of the Serengeti, allowing you to witness the year-round wildlife action. The communal dining experience here fosters a sense of camaraderie among guests, with simple yet satisfying meals that include hearty stews and fresh vegetables.

Finally, you'll explore the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site teeming with wildlife. Staying at the Foresight Eco Lodge & Safari in Karatu, you'll enjoy a budget-friendly yet sustainable experience, with home-cooked meals that reflect local culture. The lodge’s eco-friendly design and comfortable accommodations provide a peaceful retreat after a day of adventure.

With this itinerary, you’ll not only experience the best of Tanzania’s wildlife but also enjoy the comforts of well-located lodges that cater to both budget-conscious and mid-range travelers.

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.
