Why this Package

For travelers who want variety without the full circuit, this 5-day safari tour covers the stunning landscapes of Tarangire, the iconic wildlife of Central Serengeti, and the breathtaking views of the Ngorongoro Crater. Enjoy the comforts of the Dove Serengeti Tented Camp, where you can experience a perfect blend of authenticity and comfort. Nestled in the heart of the Serengeti, this camp offers personalized attention and a unique atmosphere that feels connected to the surrounding ecosystem.

Your journey begins with a night at Olkambe Simba Lodge Tarangire, an upper mid-range lodge ideal for families and groups. Here, you can savor hearty buffet-style meals and relax in spacious chalet-style rooms with en-suite bathrooms. The lodge's location near the Burunge side provides easy access to the park's famous baobabs and elephants.

Next, venture to the Dove Serengeti Tented Camp for an immersive experience in the Central Serengeti. Delight in early morning teas and picnic breakfasts to maximize your game drive time, and enjoy plated three-course dinners under the stars. The classic Meru-style tents come with en-suite bathrooms, ensuring comfort while you soak in the wilderness.

Your final night will be spent at Foresight Eco Lodge & Safari in Karatu, where you can experience a sustainable stay with home-cooked meals featuring local Tanzanian dishes. The lodge's rustic charm and eco-friendly design make it a perfect base for your Ngorongoro adventures. Although it adds a bit of travel time to the crater, the experience of dining on fresh vegetables from the garden and enjoying the peaceful environment is well worth it.

With multiple nights in each location, you can truly immerse yourself in the wildlife and landscapes of Tanzania. Witness the breathtaking sunrise over the baobabs in Tarangire, explore the vast plains of the Serengeti, and marvel at the diverse wildlife in the Ngorongoro Crater. This safari is perfect for both first-time visitors and those returning to explore more of Tanzania's incredible parks.

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.
