Smart sequencing makes this 5-Day safari tour feel longer: explore the diverse landscapes of Tarangire, the wildlife-rich Central Serengeti, the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, and the lush surroundings of Lake Manyara. This journey offers a perfect blend of adventure and comfort, staying in a mix of budget and mid-range lodges that cater to your safari needs.

Your adventure begins in Tarangire National Park, known for its large herds of elephants and iconic baobabs. After a day of exploring, you will retreat to Marera Valley Lodge in Karatu, where you can enjoy hearty meals and cozy accommodations with a rustic charm. The lodge features comfortable cottages with en-suite bathrooms and private verandas, perfect for unwinding after a day of wildlife viewing.

Next, you will head to the stunning Ngorongoro Crater, where Embalakai Tented Camp awaits. Nestled in acacia woodlands, this camp provides a true bush experience with easy access to the crater. Enjoy communal dining under the stars, and relax in comfortable safari tents equipped with en-suite bathrooms and private verandas that overlook the forest.

Your journey continues to the Central Serengeti, where Osinon Camps and Lodges offers a practical base for wildlife encounters. With canvas tents featuring en-suite bathrooms, you’ll be well-positioned to witness the region's famous predator activity. Meals are served in a communal setting, fostering a social atmosphere among fellow travelers.

Finally, you will explore the beautiful landscapes of Lake Manyara, known for its tree-climbing lions and diverse birdlife. This park provides a unique contrast to the other destinations, making your safari experience even richer.

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.
