Why this Package

Keep the driving purposeful: Experience a 5-day safari tour through Tarangire, Central Serengeti, and Ngorongoro while enjoying the comforts of an upper mid-range tented camp. This journey is designed for both first-time visitors and seasoned safari-goers, offering a blend of wildlife encounters and stunning landscapes.

Your adventure begins in Tarangire National Park, famous for its large elephant herds and iconic baobabs. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to witness these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. After a day of exploration, retreat to the Malaika Seronera Luxury Camp in the Central Serengeti. This stylish yet approachable camp offers polished tented accommodation with large canvas tents featuring hardwood floors, king or twin beds, and en-suite bathrooms with hot showers. Enjoy buffet breakfasts, picnic lunches, and plated three-course dinners that blend international and Swahili dishes.

As you continue to the Ngorongoro Crater, you’ll stay at the serene Ngorongoro Marera Mountain View Lodge, perched above Karatu with breathtaking valley views. This value-minded mid-range lodge provides spacious cottage rooms with fireplaces and verandas, perfect for relaxing after a day of wildlife viewing. Meals here are hearty and home-style, designed to keep you energized for your safari adventures.

With its proximity to both Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara, the lodge makes it easy to alternate between parks, maximizing your wildlife experience. The Ngorongoro Melia offers an additional luxurious option, featuring spacious rooms with panoramic views of the caldera, a restaurant, and a spa, all designed to immerse you in the rich Tanzanian culture.

Each park offers unique wildlife experiences, from the great migration routes of the Serengeti to the Big 5 sightings in Ngorongoro. This safari is not just about seeing animals; it’s about creating lasting memories in some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world. Whether you’re watching the sunrise over the baobabs or enjoying a quiet evening by the fire pit at your camp, every moment is designed to connect you with the essence 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.
