Why this Package

For first‑timers, this 5-day safari tour across Tarangire, Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara offers a complete northern sampler in one swing. Experience the thrill of spotting elephants in Tarangire National Park, renowned for its iconic baobabs and massive herds. Journey through the breathtaking landscapes of Ngorongoro Crater, where the Big 5 roam freely, and enjoy the serene beauty of Lake Manyara, famous for its tree-climbing lions and diverse birdlife.

Your adventure begins in Arusha, where you’ll be welcomed and briefed before heading to your first stop, Tarangire. Here, you’ll spend a night at the comfortable Osero Serengeti Tented Camp, a mid-range camp in the heart of the Central Serengeti. This camp is perfect for those who want to immerse themselves in nature without sacrificing comfort. Enjoy hearty meals served in a communal setting, fostering a sense of camaraderie among guests.

Next, you’ll explore the stunning Ngorongoro Crater, staying at the cozy Embalakai Tented Camp. Nestled in acacia woodland, this camp offers a rustic yet intimate experience with en-suite tents and a central mess tent for dining. The location is ideal for early morning game drives, allowing you to witness the vibrant wildlife as the sun rises over the crater.

Your journey continues to Lake Manyara, where you’ll experience the unique ecosystem and wildlife this park has to offer. Finally, return to Arusha, reflecting on the incredible sights and experiences from your safari.

This itinerary is designed for both first-timers and repeat safari-goers, providing a balanced mix of adventure and relaxation. With multiple nights in key locations, you’ll have ample opportunity to explore and appreciate the rich biodiversity 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.
