Why this Package

For travelers who want variety without the full circuit, this 5-Day safari tour covers Tarangire, Central Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. Experience the stunning landscapes and rich wildlife of these iconic parks while enjoying the comforts of mid-range and upper mid-range lodges.

Your journey begins at Africa Safari Rift Valley, a mid-range lodge just outside Karatu. Here, you can savor hearty meals served buffet-style, with early breakfasts and packed lunches for your adventures. The lodge features a mix of safari-style tents and bungalow rooms, all equipped with en-suite bathrooms, simple furnishings, and mosquito nets. Relax by the swimming pool or enjoy a drink at the bar while taking in views over the Rift Valley. With a convenient location, you will reach the Ngorongoro gate in about 40 minutes, perfect for early predator viewing.

Next, immerse yourself in the heart of the Serengeti at Baobab Central Serengeti Tented Camp. This upper mid-range seasonal camp offers a unique blend of affordability and comfort, placing you close to Seronera’s predator hotspots. The camp serves hearty meals designed for long safari days, including picnic breakfasts and communal dinners. Stay in canvas tents with en-suite bathrooms and enjoy the shared mess tent and campfire ambiance. With easy access to prime wildlife viewing areas, you’ll have the chance to witness lions, leopards, and elephants year-round.

Finally, unwind at Ngorongoro Marera Mountain View Lodge, perched on a scenic slope above Karatu. This value-minded mid-range base offers spacious cottage rooms with fireplaces and verandas that catch the valley breeze. Meals are home-style and hearty, perfectly timed to your safari schedule. The lodge's location allows you to easily alternate between Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara, making it a practical choice for wildlife enthusiasts.

With a mix of stunning landscapes, diverse wildlife, and comfortable accommodations, this safari is perfect for both first-timers and seasoned travelers looking to explore the best of Tanzania.

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.
