This itinerary is perfect for first-time visitors and seasoned safari-goers alike, offering a balanced mix of adventure and relaxation.

Your journey begins in Tarangire National Park, renowned for its massive elephant herds and stunning baobab trees.

Enjoy communal meals that emphasize filling, hearty dishes, perfect for refueling after a day of exploration.

Your safari culminates with a night at the Ngorongoro Marera Mountain View Lodge again, where you can relax and reflect on your adventures. The lodge’s proximity to both Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara makes it an ideal base for exploring these stunning parks. The lush gardens and peaceful atmosphere provide a perfect backdrop for unwinding after a day of thrilling game drives.

With this itinerary, you’ll experience the best of Tanzania’s wildlife and landscapes, making it a memorable adventure. For more information on the parks you’ll visit, check out our guides on Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and the Serengeti.

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.
